If you want to reach a safe place out of harm’s way in Minecraft, teleporting may be the answer to your problems. Here’s how to teleport throughout the game‘s world.

Although Minecraft is a game where you can pretty much do anything you want, the base game doesn’t really come with teleportation. To be able to do this action, you need to enable cheats in whatever Minecraft world you want to teleport in.

However, once you’ve done that you’re able to get from point A to point B without too much effort. It will allow you to teleport to coordinates, players, and biomes. The only issue, it’s not as simple as just pressing a button. So, here’s how you can teleport in Minecraft.

Teleporting to coordinates in Minecraft requires both knowing the coordinates and knowing the command needed to get you there. Here’s how you can do it:

  • To find your coordinates on a console head to the settings and toggle on Show Coordinates.
  • If you’re on a PC, press F3 and it will come up on the side of the screen.
  • Next, make a note of the coordinates you want to teleport to, open the text chat, and type in: /tp (x Coordinates) (Y Coordinates) (Z Coordinates)
  • An example of this would be /tp -64 71 21 as shown in the image above.

Teleporting to another player works similarly to commands, all you need to do is use the same /tp command but this time word it like this:

/tp (username)

This will teleport you to that player. Alternatively, if you want to teleport that player to specific coordinates you can use the same command and add the coordinates at the end.
