Teleport in Minecraft

Teleporting is an advanced command in Minecraft that allows you to instantly travel to a specified location or player. You can only use it in certain modes, and it doesn't work the same across different versions of the game. You'll have the most teleporting options if you're playing Minecraft on a computer.

Steps

Minecraft for Computer

  1. Ensure you will be able to use the command. Teleporting is a special command, and is only available in specific situations:
    • If you're playing online, you need Operator access for the server. To become an operator, an existing admin or operator needs to type /op into the chat window.
    • In local multiplayer, the game needs to be started with Cheats enabled. This needs to be done by the player opening the game to local multiplayer.
    • For single player, Cheats need to be enabled when creating the world ("More World Options...").
  2. Determine where you want to teleport to. Minecraft uses three coordinates (XYZ) to determine player location in the world. The "X" coordinate is the position east or west of the spawn point. The "Z" coordinate is the position north or south of the spawn point. The "Y" coordinate is the elevation above bedrock. Sea level is Y:63. Your spawn point may not be at exactly 0,0,63, as this is sometimes underwater.
    • You can view your current coordinates in game by pressing F3, Fn+F3 (laptops and Macs), or Alt+Fn+F3 (newer Macs).
    • If you're playing with others, you'll be able to teleport to someone by using their player name.
  3. Open the Chat window. You can open this by pressing T.
  4. Teleport to a specific player. If you want to teleport yourself to someone else in the same server, enter the following command. Make sure that the player's name does not contain any spaces:[1]
  5. Teleport to a specific location. You can teleport to any location in the world by entering the coordinates. If you aren't sure about the Y coordinate (common with village-finding tools online), enter "83" to try to avoid teleporting into something and suffocating. You may fall for a bit, but you should be able to survive:
    • /tp (e.g. /tp 517 72 -169)
    • Note that X and Z must use numbers between -30,000,000 to 30,000,000. The Y coordinate must be positive.
    • You can replace the coordinates with relative positions by using a ~. For example, /tp 200 ~10 200 will teleport you to X,Z:200,200 and 10 blocks above your current elevation. Relative coordinates can only teleport the player as far as the world allows; anything further results in a game crash. Relative coordinates can be used to go to negative Y values.
  6. Teleport a player somewhere else. You can use the teleport command to move any player on the server:

Minecraft PE

  1. Download a Minecraft PE editor app. Minecraft PE does not support a teleport command, so you'll need to use an editor app to move your player location. You can't use this for multiplayer. If you're using an iPhone or iPad, you'll need to be jailbroken in order to do this. The most popular apps that can move your player location are:[2]
    • Android - PocketInvEditor
    • iOS (Jailbreak only) - iMCPEdit
  2. Load your world in the editor app. When you first launch the editor, a list of your saved worlds will be displayed. Tap the world that you want to move your player location for.
  3. Tap "Move Player" to change the player location. You'll be asked to enter in the coordinates that you want to move to.
  4. Enter the location that you want to move to. There are three coordinates: X, Y, and Z. "X" is a location east or west of the spawn point. "Z" is the location north or south of the spawn point. "Y" is the elevation above the bedrock. Y:63 is sea level.
  5. Save your new location. The location will be applied to your saved game and take effect when you start Minecraft PE again and select it.

Minecraft for Consoles

  1. Enable Host Privileges when creating or starting your game. This will need to be enabled in order to access special commands such as teleport. This will disable achievements.
    • When loading a world, select "More Options" and then check the "Host Privileges" box. These additional options will be available to all players in the game.
  2. Open the player list while in game. Depending on the console, this may be the Back, Select, or touchpad button on the controller.[3]
  3. Select the Host Options button. This will open additional options.
  4. Select "Teleport to Player" or "Teleport to Me." These are the only two teleport options available on the console versions.
  5. Select the player you want to teleport to, or the player you want to bring to yourself. Once you select the player, the teleport action will occur. You'll either be teleported to the player you selected, or the player you selected will be teleported to your location.
