First introduced	Java Edition 1.3.1 (12w17a) PE Alpha 0.16.0 (PE Alpha 0.16.0 build 1)

Provides help/lists of commands.

Syntax

• Java Edition

help [<command>]

• Bedrock Edition

help [command: CommandName]

help <page: int>

Arguments

<command> (BE: command: CommandName)

Specifies the command to provide help for. In Java Edition, entering more specific parameters of that command is allowed.

page: int‌^{[Bedrock Edition only]}

Specifies the page number of the command list. Must be an integer between -2147483648 and 2,147,483,647 (inclusive, without the commas), but numbers less than 1 or greater than the total number of pages are treated as 1 or the last page accordingly.

Result

Fails if page: int is not a valid page number, or if <command> is not a valid command name.

On success, displays a page of the command list. Multiplayer commands are not displayed while in singleplayer, even when open to LAN players.

If a valid command name was specified, displays the usage for that command. In Java Edition, for some complicated commands may show only the basic usage; additional information can be supplied by entering more specific parameters of that command.

Examples

• To display (the first page of‌^{[Bedrock Edition only]}) the command list: /help.
• To display the usage for the /give command: /help give.
• To display the usage for the add section of the /scoreboard command: /help scoreboard add.
