7 Minecraft Command Block Ideas You Can Copy

Seven easy command block builds: a welcome message, a spawn teleporter, a free-food button, day-only mode, a no-rain switch, a speed pad and a death-free arena. Each one lists the blocks to place and the exact commands.

Intermediate Java Bedrock

Get the blocks with /give @s command_block, chain_command_block and repeating_command_block. Unless noted, commands work on both editions. New to command blocks? Start with the command block guide.

1. Welcome message

Impulse block under a pressure plate at your spawn.

title @p title {"text":"Welcome!"}

The title command generator builds the JSON for you.

2. Spawn teleporter

Impulse block next to a button. Replace the numbers with your spawn.

tp @p 0 80 0

3. Free food button

give @p cooked_beef 8

4. Always day

Repeat block set to Always Active.

5. No rain switch

weather clear

6. Speed pad

Repeat block, Always Active, hidden under a pressure plate area. It gives speed to anyone standing on gold.

execute as @a at @s if block ~ ~-1 ~ gold_block run effect give @s speed 3 2 true

That is the Java form. On Bedrock use:

execute as @a at @s if block ~ ~-1 ~ gold_block run effect @s speed 3 2 true

7. Healing zone

Repeat block, Always Active. It heals players within 5 blocks of the block.

Java:    effect give @a[distance=..5] regeneration 2 1 true
Bedrock: effect @a[r=5] regeneration 2 1 true

FAQ

What can you build with command blocks?

Teleporters, shops, welcome messages, minigames, healing zones, custom day and weather rules and more.

How do I make a speed pad?

Use a repeat command block with execute as @a at @s if block ~ ~-1 ~ gold_block run effect give @s speed 3 2 true on Java, or the Bedrock form without give.

Will repeat command blocks lag my server?

Heavy commands every tick can. Keep them short and use conditions.
