- To teleport in Minecraft, enable cheats in your game and use the /tp command.
- Coordinates in Minecraft use three values: X (left/right), Y (up/down), and Z (forward/backward).
- Use the TP command to teleport to specific spots or other players anywhere in the game.
This article explains how to use the Tp (teleport) command in Minecraft for all platforms, including Windows PC, PS4, and Xbox One. You’ll find several examples at the end of this piece.
How to Use the Minecraft Teleport Command
With the Tp command in Minecraft, you can teleport anyone or anything, anywhere. If you’re playing the Java version, you can also teleport between the Overworld and the Nether.
Use the Tp command the same way you use any other Minecraft command:
Enable cheats in your world’s settings.
Open the chat window. How you do this depends on which platform you’re playing on:
- PC: Select the T key.
- Mobile: Tap the Chat icon at the top of the screen.
- Xbox: Select Right on the D-Pad.
- PlayStation: Select Right on the D-Pad.
- Nintendo Switch: Select Right on the D-Pad.
Enter /Tp.
If you enter the command correctly, you will receive a confirmation message and be teleported to the indicated location.
How Coordinates Work in Minecraft
In Minecraft, when you enter coordinates, you need to provide three variables: X, Y, and Z:
- X: The X coordinate represents longitude. The value of X increases as the player moves east and decreases as the player moves west.
- Y: The Y coordinate represents elevation. The value of Y increases as the player moves up and decreases as the player moves down.
- Z: The Z coordinate represents latitude. The value of Z increases as the player moves south and decreases as the player moves north.
One unit represents one block. The sea level for the overworld is 62Y, and the lava “sea” level is 11Y. In the Nether, the lava “sea” level is 31Y.
To display your current coordinates in the Java Edition, enter /tp ~~~. In Bedrock Edition, enable Show Coordinates in the world settings.
How to Teleport to Coordinates in Minecraft
To teleport any player or object to specific coordinates, just provide the X, Y, and Z coordinates. For example:
/tp PluckyChart7166 150 64 250
The above command teleports the player PluckyChart7166 to the coordinates 150X, 64Y, 250Z.
Teleport to a Relative Set of Coordinates
To teleport an object to a location relative to its current position, add a tilde (~) to the coordinates. For example:
/tp PluckyChart7166 ~150 ~ 64 ~250
Teleport to Another Object
You can also teleport directly to another player or object. For example:
/tp PluckyChart7166 Rob4Lifewire
The above command teleports the player PluckyChart7166 to the player Rob4Lifewire.
