Q. What are some useful Minecraft commands for parents trying to impress their kids? I need to know.
A. If you have setup a Minecraft server to impress your kids (I have blog on creating one in Azure at http://savilltech.com/blog/2015/04/17/creating-a-minecraft-server-using-the-new-azure-portal/). Once it is installed there are some handy things to know:
- Open server.properties and set the white-list value to true, e.g. write-list=true. This means only people you want can connect to the server
- Once playing the game the rest of the commands below can be used. Press Esc to get your mouse control back
- To change your skin (what you look like) go to http://www.minecraft.net, sign-in and select Profile. From there you can upload a new PNG for your skin. If you search the web for minecraft skins there are plenty of sites with downloadable skins and ways to create your own.
- To add players to be allowed to use the server within the game use
/whitelist add - To make someone else an operator (admin) use
/op <playername> - To chat to other players just press t then type in what you want to say
- Monsters will quickly start coming out to kill you at night. To turn off monsters run
/difficulty 0 (a difficulty of 1 is the default) - To avoid having to mine for blocks and put Minecraft in creative mode use
/gamemode 1 (0 is the default survival mode) - To change the time to daytime use
/time set 0 - To view information about your location press F3. It shows your coordinates
- You can then teleport to coordinates by typing
/tp, e.g. example /tp -197 70 -216 - To teleport to a friends location use
/tp - To bring up your inventory press E
