FAQ

Do Bedrock commands match Java?

Many names match, but syntax differs: Bedrock often uses older numeric block data, selector args like c=1 and r=10, replaceitem instead of modern Java item components, and Bedrock-only commands (structure, camerashake, tickingarea, dialogue, ability). Always test on Bedrock.

How do I open chat / commands on console?

Enable cheats, then open chat from the pause/emote UI (controller mapping varies). On Windows/mobile use T or the chat button.

Why does /locate fail?

Wrong structure/biome id for your version, cheats off, or no permission. Use /help locate and tab-complete when the game offers it.

What if a niche command isn’t listed?

Run /help in-game for the live list on your build, or /help <command>. Preview/BDS builds add commands that stable Realms may not have.
