Question

How do I get a command block to carry out a command automatically and continuously for a certain amount of time?

Community Answer

You can either put a red stone block to give it power forever or you can use redstone clocks to make command blocks do a command continuously as command blocks work on pulses.

Question

What are command block prompts?

Community Answer

To get it, you have to type in, /give (player name here) minecraft:command_block Once you get it, you have to right click it, and it will give you some options. You can make it so that it can teleport you to a specific location, make it kill people, make it heal you, and a lot of other stuff. But in order to activate it, it is best to put a pressure plate in front of it and stand on it.

Question

Can I do this in Minecraft on an iPad?

Community Answer

Command blocks are only on the PC/Mac versions of Minecraft. You can't craft a command block and can't even obtain it through creative mode. You have to enter this line in order to spawn one in: /give [player] command_block [amount]. They basically execute a command when given a redstone signal.

How can I do this if my name has a space in it?

Why can't I place command blocks?

Question

Does this work on the Nintendo Switch version?

Isabella Voges

Community Answer

Yes it dose if you sign in to your Microsoft account. If you go to play and then hit the button, create a new world, then you already have the setting that says cheats on or off. Hit cheats and then you hit the creative button. And now you join into the game and go into your inventory and tip in command block and you should have it.

Question

I tried the command for command blocks and it did not work what do I have to do?

RocketHow977

Community Answer

If nothing happened, the problem could be that cheats are disabled. You can change this in settings usually. If cheats are enabled, you may have entered the command wrong.

I'm playing Minecraft 1.14.4. I'm putting the command in but it says it's wrong. How do I get command blocks in this version?

RocketHow977

Community Answer

Instead of entering /give (name) command_block, enter instead: /give (name) minecraft:command_block. This should fix the problem. If not, pay attention to where it says your mistake was.

How do I get command blocks in Minecraft for Windows 10?

RocketWiki

Community Answer

Most platforms now support the command block. Just follow the steps in the article. If it does not work, you have either typed something wrong (the chat box will let you know if you did) or your platform does not support command blocks just yet. Don't worry, they are sure to be added in the future.
