Commands/infobox
Teleports entities (players, mobs, items, etc.).
In the Java Edition, the primary difference between this command and the /tp command is that /teleport uses coordinates relative to the command's execution, while /tp uses coordinates relative to the teleported targets.
Although most commands can only affect chunks that have already been generated, /teleport can send entities into chunks that have yet to be generated. If this happens to a player, then the chunks around and including that player's destination will be newly generated.
In Pocket Edition, this command is simply an alias for /tp.
- Syntax
- Java Edition
teleport <target entity> <x> <y> <z> [<y-rot> <x-rot>]
- Pocket Edition
teleport <destination: target>teleport <destination: x y z> [y-rot: rotation] [x-rot: rotation]teleport <victim: target> <destination: target>teleport <victim: target> <destination: x y z> [y-rot: rotation] [x-rot: rotation]
- Arguments
- target entity (PE: victim: target)
- Specifies the entity(s) to be teleported. Must be either a player name or a target selector.
- x y z (PE: destination: x y z)
- Specifies the coordinates to teleport the target(s) to. x and z must fall within the range -30,000,000 to 30,000,000 (exclusive, without the commas), and y must be within the range -4096 to 4096 inclusive. May use tilde notation to specify a position relative to the position of the executor of the command (use
/tpor/executeto teleport using coordinates relative to the target instead).
- Specifies the coordinates to teleport the target(s) to. x and z must fall within the range -30,000,000 to 30,000,000 (exclusive, without the commas), and y must be within the range -4096 to 4096 inclusive. May use tilde notation to specify a position relative to the position of the executor of the command (use
- destination: target [Pocket Edition only]
- Specifies the entity to teleport the target(s) to. Must be either a player name or a target selector.
- y-rot (PE: y-rot: rotation) (optional)
- Specifies the horizontal rotation (-180.0 for due north, -90.0 for due east, 0.0 for due south, 90.0 for due west, to 179.9 for just west of due north, before wrapping back around to -180.0). Tilde notation can be used to specify a rotation relative to the target's previous rotation.
- x-rot (PE: x-rot: rotation) (optional)
- Specifies the vertical rotation (-90.0 for straight up to 90.0 for straight down). Tilde notation can be used to specify a rotation relative to the target's previous rotation.
- Result
- Fails if the arguments are not specified correctly, or if target entity fails to resolve to one or more entities (named players must be online).[verify]
- On success, teleports the targets to the specified destination.
