How to Use the Minecraft Teleport Command
Using the Tp command in Minecraft is straightforward, whether you’re teleporting yourself, another player, or an object. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

- PC: Press the T key.
- Mobile: Tap the Chat icon at the top of the screen.
- Xbox: Press Right on the D-Pad.

Teleporting in Minecraft
Understanding Coordinates
When teleporting, you need to provide three coordinates: X, Y, and Z.
- X (Longitude): Increases as you move east and decreases as you move west.
- Y (Elevation): Increases as you move up and decreases as you move down.
- Z (Latitude): Increases as you move south and decreases as you move north.
In Minecraft, one unit equals one block. The sea level in the overworld is 64Y, while in the Nether, the lava sea level is 31Y.
Displaying Coordinates
To see your current coordinates:
- Java Edition: Press Fn+F3 (or Alt+Fn+F3).
- Bedrock Edition: Enable “Show Coordinates” in the world settings.
Teleporting to Coordinates
To teleport to a specific set of coordinates, use the following command:
/tp PlayerName X Y Z
For example:
/tp PluckyChart7166 150 64 250
This command teleports the player PluckyChart7166 to the coordinates 150X, 64Y, 250Z.
Teleporting to Relative Coordinates
You can also teleport relative to your current position using the tilde (~) symbol. For example:
/tp PluckyChart7166 ~150 ~64 ~250
Teleporting to Another Player or Object
To teleport to another player or object:
/tp PlayerName TargetPlayer
For example:
/tp PluckyChart7166 Rob4Lifewire
This teleports PluckyChart7166 to Rob4Lifewire.
