How To Teleport in Minecraft

How does Teleportation work in Minecraft?

In Minecraft, teleportation works by transporting a player, object or mob to a different location in the Minecraft world.

Teleportation is also very useful if you are trying to find out where you died in Minecraft.

How can you use the teleportation command?

Make sure that you enable cheats when you make your Minecraft world.

When you enable cheats it allows you to run game commands which in turn will allow you to teleport yourself and other objects.

Using teleport commands on a survival world server comes with server host privileges. Since server members will not have host privileges,you will have to make them a server operator before they can use them.

How can you Teleport in Java and Education Edition?

To teleport in the Java edition of Minecraft, it involves typing in the command in the chat window menu. And much like the Java edition of Minecraft, the education edition works in the same way when it comes to teleport commands.

An important thing to make a note of is to be aware of the x,y,z coordinates. You can see these when you press F3 on your PC.

The x coordinate is East/West, y is the vertical coordinates and z is North/South. Using coordinates can help if you are trying to move to a very specific location.

Remember that you do not want to teleport yourself into the ground.

To avoid this from happening, always add ‘true’ at the end of your command. The command will cancel if there are no solid blocks to where you are teleporting to.

What is the Teleport command?

The steps to use the teleport command are as follows:

1. Press T on your keyboard to open the chat window (this is visible at the lower left corner of the screen)
2. Type in / to open the console menu
3. Type in /teleport or /tp

How can you Teleport a Player to You?

This is how you can teleport any other player in your server to exactly where you are:

How can you Teleport yourself to a Player?

If you are trying to teleport yourself to another:

1. Press T on your keyboard
2. Type in /teleport or /tp
3. Now you can type in /tp @PlayerA
4. This will teleport you to PlayerA’s current position

How can you teleport to specific or relative coordinates?

Teleporting yourself or a player to relative or the same coordinates works similarly

1. Press T on your keyboard to open the chat window
2. Type in /teleport or /tp
3. Type /tp ~360 ~21 ~72 (these are the x y z coordinates)

This will teleport you to an area on the map that is relative to x y z coordinates. If you are aiming to teleport to the same coordinates but to be specific, simply type it in without the tilde notation.

To teleport a player to these coordinates, simply add in their IGN after typing in the /tp command.

How can you Teleport in Minecraft to the Nether and to the End?

Did you know that you can teleport to the Nether and to the End? That’s right, no more worries about running around trying to craft a respawn anchor!

If you would like to teleport between the Overworld, the Nether and the End, you are going to need two things: to be playing the Java version of Minecraft and the Execute command.

Teleport Command

Using the execute command:

1. Press T on your keyboard to open the chat window
2. Type in /execute
3. Type /execute in minecraft:the_nether run teleport 36 21 9

If you would like to teleport to the exact coordinates you are at in the Overworld to the Nether, you can use the same command but replace the x y z coordinates with ~ ~ ~.

When it comes to teleporting to the End, simply replace ‘the_nether’ with ‘the_end’.

Can you teleport Mobs in Minecraft?

Yes you can teleport mobs in Minecraft too. This is also a great way to move your herd of assorted animals and a funny way to drop more than a few creepers on other players' houses.

When it comes to teleporting mobs, this is how you go about doing it:

1. Open up your chat window
2. Type /tp
3. Type /tp @e [type=minecraft:chicken] 268 64 410

To summon something else, just replace the [type= ] with a mob of choice.

You can also send them over to your friends by replacing the x y z coordinates with their in game name to make them the target entity.

Can you teleport without using the TP command?

Yes,you can teleport without using any commands-however there are few terms and conditions that apply.

Using an Ender Pearl

Ender pearls are dropped from Endermen and can teleport you and you can make an Eye of Ender with them.

To use them, simply hold and throw. You can be teleported 30-45 blocks from your current position.

Teleporting with these means you will take fall damage of 5 so armour up before your throw!

Using a Chorus Fruit

A Chorus fruit is a type of fruit that you can find at the End.

Eat this and you will move 8 blocks in any direction after. You can eat these if your hunger bar is full and it can teleport you into solid blocks.

Using Command Blocks

These execute commands and are used on a multiplayer world, on creative worlds or custom maps. Use the command /setblock ~ ~ ~ minecraft:command_block to place one

Use redstone powder to power them and you can set them to run a teleport command.
