To remedy this issue, we’ve split our tutorial into platform-specific sections covering PC, console and mobile versions of Minecraft to help you learn to teleport and get where you’re going in the blink of an eye.
Teleporting in Minecraft on PC
A word of warning: it’s possible that, if you don’t type the coordinates correctly, you could teleport yourself into solid ground. This would result in you quickly losing health and death will follow soon after. To avoid this, simply add the word true to the end of your command. This forces the game to verify that there aren’t solid blocks at your teleport location, and if there is, it’ll cancel the teleport. Other quick teleport commands include:
/tp @a @s: Want all players to gather at your location? This command does exactly that. If you want to teleport everyone else to another direction, replace s with your desired coordinates./tp £e[type=EnemyName] @X Y Z: This command teleports nearby enemies of a certain type to your location. Replace EnemyName with the type of mod you want to spawn, and X Y Z with your coordinates./tp ~ 62 ~: This command allows you to lock certain coordinates while changing others – ideal if you want to jump up or down to a certain level. Simply replace the coordinate you want to keep the same with a tide (~) and change the others.
Teleporting in Minecraft on console
Before we delve into the console-focused teleportation tutorial, it’s worth pointing out that you’re only able to teleport when you’re hosting a multiplayer world and, unlike on PC, you’ll only be able to teleport to another player’s location. Now that’s out of the way, here’s how to teleport in Minecraft on PlayStation, Xbox or Nintendo Switch.
Teleporting in Minecraft on mobile
While the lack of a physical keyboard might make entering coordinates a fairly tiresome job, there is also a way to teleport in Minecraft on mobile. And there you have it!
