25 Insane Ways to Use Command Blocks in Minecraft

25 insane ways to use command blocks in minecraft command blocks are capable of some pretty amazing things all of which is possible in vanilla minecraft even if it sometimes looks like mods and that's what we'll see today number one over the years minecraft skeletons have seemed to get better at aiming which is great for them and bad for us so if you want to have an easier time dodging and look cool while doing it then this is well worth a shot see with these command blocks we can essentially re

write how the arrows move letting us get away scot-free and leaving the skeletons confused as to what happened so for whatever reason you can't get a copy of superhot on your device now at least you got a solid demo to try out number two minecraft's a world made of blocks not circles not triangles but blocks which is great but it makes a site like this look even more cursed though while this might seem like some wacky mod it's actually all possible within vanilla as the minecraft genius seth bli

ng shows using a mixture of invisible shulkers and armor stands we can create a fairly convincing 45 degree slope in our world and while some of the blocks like diamond door don't work quite right it is still impressive to see just how much is possible here even if it does feel legal to watch number three clearly command blocks are capable of some pretty wild things but what this user pulls off feels like an act of science fiction see what's happening here is that the machine can scan the blocks

within the area assign them to a particle and then recreate a copy down below meaning you only have to build one big statue and you get a little souvenir for the same effort and even better it'll even rotate for a proper display which i've gotta say is a lot more exciting than just another static statue number four a tnt explosion can pack quite a punch but while that's already true we can dial it up a notch so what if instead of just destroying the blocks it also launched the debris well the r

esults can get pretty ridiculous and it makes blowing up your friends base even more gratifying so if you're looking to cause some proper chaos on the server this is a solid option for sure just make sure your computer's strong enough to handle it otherwise that house won't be the only thing that's going up in smoke number five now whether you call this gif or jiff chances are we've all seen them and while they're commonplace in minecraft they're a lot more rare which makes this item frame a rea

l sight to see though what's crazier still is that this is all done without using any mods meaning we can not only play these animations within our world but we can also record some of our own as well and while i wouldn't use this to record your next hardcore let's play it's still an amazing feat of minecraft engineering and it offers up some hilarious gags as well number six by this point we've all seen the easter egg for naming a mob dinner bone but this time instead of just turning the mob up

side down it also changes the gravity to boot which is definitely a wild sight and yet it's also surprisingly simple to pull off see all that's happening here is that we have a repeating command block that constantly checks for any mobs named dinner bone and then when it finds one it applies the levitation effect and poof they're off just like that giving us quite the harmless prank to use next time your friends online number seven complex stores are a staple of the redstone community but while

mumbo can show you how to make 40 of those in a couple minutes i bet you won't see one of these too often and folks your eyes don't deceive you this is built entirely within vanilla minecraft albeit it did take the creator around 1200 command blocks to build but the result of which is still pretty special and honestly i wouldn't even know where to start building one of these but luckily this smooth animation is something that we can all enjoy through the world download number eight if you look a

t a sheep it doesn't seem like the smartest of mobs but what if i told you that these things are actually masters of disguise or at least they will be see by said another command blocks that we have here our sheep turn from mindless mobs into proper chameleons being able to blend in with their surroundings like so yeah well they probably don't run across colors this vibrant in the wild it is still cool to see this effect in action and honestly it's a lot more unique than just yet another sheep n

amed jep number nine steve's addition to smash bros was a huge deal and not just to see this character rise from solo made indie game into legend status but also just to see how cool it'd be if mine carts worked like this instead of this and since that revealed trailer it's been not just a want but a need to have this in the base game and thankfully we have just that with commands we not only have a minecart that can place rails in front of it but it'll also ride across water lava and even diffe

rent dimensions which is just insane number 10 parkour is a pretty straightforward concept you have a goal and you have to jump to get there i mean it's not rocket science but to spice up that idea we need to talk about parallel universes or more specifically using command blocks to jump between two realities like so see as it's laid out we not only have to make sure where we land our jump but also switch to the right clock to make the blocks appear and if you ask me that really takes your jumpi

ng puzzle to another level literally number 11. building a house is a tale as old as time in minecraft but having the game build house for you is a bit more exciting that's why this display of a house built entirely of falling blocks is so wild to see what's happening here is that we have a command block array perfectly timed to launch each and every block into its respective place until it finally gives us our finished result and full disclosure for this to work you will need a flat surface oth

erwise those building blocks will just collide with one another and fall right off course number 12 picture the situation you're walking around your world acts in hand and then right as you go to close your door after you enter you accidentally strip the logs on the side it's an annoyance for sure but thankfully not a permanent one since with this set of commands provided we get a vanilla friendly way to fix our mistakes and now when you use your axe on a log you'll get the bark back as an item

and from there we can patch it up and no one will ever have to know about that mistake number 13 building in minecraft is an art form and like any art form you're bound to make mistakes so to simplify that process it'd be nice to have some kind of way to undo and redo the blocks that we place that way any time spent on making a mistake doesn't have to mean time spent fixing it but this is that fix and here all we have to do is click how many blocks we want to undo from the history in the chat an

d boom it's as simple as that so even if this only makes it easier for me to fix that circle i built lopsided that's plenty well for me number 14 shooting a bow in minecraft is a good skill to have but figuring out where that arrow's gonna land is tough to train so that's where this comes in see as this user shows we can use command blocks to set up an indicator of where the projectile will land using a simulated trajectory and well the science to pull this off is a lot of math that goes over my

head it is a useful tool if you ever need to prepare for a sniper duel letting us turn that boring physics homework into an exciting real world demonstration number 15. sometimes when you're fighting a creeper it's bound to explode which is fine accidents happen but it's no treat having to fill in the newly exposed creeper hole by yourself so instead wouldn't it be nice if the world just did it for you well that's not as crazy as it sounds see the idea here is that any creeper explosion is full

y repaired like so even including chest filled with items which in my eyes is a lot more interesting than just setting the mob griefing game rule to false and it definitely looks cooler number 16. when you're building in minecraft it's nice to use a bit of variation to improve your build but deliberately placing blocks randomly is hard to do and oftentimes doing it wrong can leave a build looking noisy and unfocused so for an easier time this tool might help out your next creative build see the

way that it works that our hotbar slot will constantly rotate to a different block meaning all we have to do is hold down the right click and the rest will be solved for us letting us get the results without the stress that comes with number 17 shulkers are an invaluable item to have when it comes to storing your stuff but what if they could store more than just items well that's the idea behind this community made mega shulker concept here we can store fully fledged build inside something like

a structure block and place it wherever we'd like and hey we can even store mobs inside like so giving us a lot more freedom than just some measly 27 slots so the next time you're looking to move house why not just actually move the house instead of just the stuff inside number 18. traversing the nether is a tricky business and the open fields of lava don't make that any easier so if a strider isn't your style then this method is well worth a shot see as coded we get something of a lava boat to

use in the second dimension and while it's ridiculous it's hard to say that a frostwalk or boat wouldn't be cool to try i mean i'd even love to use that in the overworld let alone the nether and being able to drift to the nether fortress in style is a great addition no doubt number 19 keeping yourself safe is a top priority in minecraft survival i mean some might even call it the top priority but how you do that is different story so while shields like this definitely have their place i'd advent

ure this human shield is a lot more fun to use see with a simple setup we can summon ourselves an immortal villager buddy to block any and all oncoming shots like so letting us survive the night with these and leaving areas scratch on our partner's outfit which is a win-win if you ask me number twenty breaking blocks is one of the cornerstones of minecraft but typically we only break those within a certain radius of the player or at least that's how it used to be but as it's coded here any time

that we shoot an arrow it breaks the blocks that it lands on allowing us to not only mine stuff from a safe distance but also opens up the possibility for some new mini games and i for one would love to play a game of spleef like this especially using a multi-shot crossbow number 21 since the early days of minecraft mod reviews one of the fan favorites had to be the portal gun which is why at least for me it's a relief to finally have this possible in vanilla see by copy and pasting this let's f

ace it ridiculously sized command and we've got it fully set up to let us experience the portal gun right out of the game letting us create the orange and blue portals that we're used to and do so without having to type out all these command blocks ourselves and that's a welcome mix for sure number 22 noteblocks can be a fairly robust tool and plenty of clever composers have made some great music using this mechanic but understanding all the nuances needed to make that music is a tall order so i

nstead this world not only gives us a way to program proper sheet music but also animates a piano playing the song like so and that's definitely a welcome addition so if you can sight read but you lack the knack for redstone then i'm sure you'll find this tool to be music to your ears number 23 if you've been around for a while you've probably seen this trick done once before that is if you ignite a set of tnt like so it ignites into a heart-shaped pattern that you see here but the dirty little

secret is that this only works on bedrock or at least it used to but with the help of specific command blocks we can make this trick work in java as well and might i add it looks a lot more cutesy with the new method as well which is a nice touch for sure number 24. minecraft has blocks and it has mobs and often times you don't see the two sides mix but that changes today since with the help of cleverly coded falling sand entities and armor stands this reddit user was capable of animating a prop

er functional jumping piston mob and folks this isn't done with any mods or resource packs but in fact it's fully possible using just command blocks or data pack and vanilla and the results are equal parts ridiculous and impressive to see and honestly this just feels like a pixar reference waiting to happen number 25 playing minecraft on a mobile device can sometimes be a limited experience to say the least and that's a no small part thanks to the aquacontrol scheme so to make it easier to build

while you play on your phone this user had the right idea this way all we need to use is a set of spawn eggs to place our pre-programmed parts of the build like the floor tile or a wall and if you ask me that's gotta be the best example of working smarter not harder and with that folks have a good one alright
