✔️How To Use Minecraft Teleport Command With One Simple Command Minecraft step by step Tutorial✔️

Hey everybody, it’s UnderMyCap, and welcome back to another video. Today I’m going to show you how to use the /tp (teleport) command in Minecraft.

Two Ways to Use the Teleport Command

There are two main ways to use /tp:

1) In chat: You can type the command directly into the chat.

2) In a command block: This is more flexible, because you can set it to run constantly (repeating), or trigger it with a button, lever, or other redstone signal.

Everything I demonstrate in a command block also works in chat.

Basic /tp Structure

To use the teleport command, type /tp, then specify:

1) Who you want to teleport (a player name, or a selector like @a, @e, etc.)

2) Where you want to teleport them (coordinates, relative coordinates, or another entity)

Using Target Selectors (Tags)

Minecraft has selector “tags” that help you target groups of entities. These selectors categorize entities in the game and make it much easier to teleport specific players or mobs.

@a — All Players

@a targets every player in the world. If you run a teleport command using @a to a specific location, every single player will be teleported there.

In some cases you may want that, but in other cases you may not—so later I’ll explain how to narrow down targets more precisely.

Teleporting a Specific Player

If you want to teleport one specific person, you can just type their player name.

For example, I’ll use my name: UnderMyCap.

After the name, you choose the destination. Since I’m alone here, I’ll use coordinates.

Using Relative Coordinates (The “Squiggly Line”)

You can use the tilde symbol ~ (the “squiggly line”) to use relative coordinates. This tells Minecraft to calculate the destination based on the command’s position (such as the command block’s location).

The three values represent:

X = ~

Y = ~

Z = ~

So:

~ ~ ~ would teleport you directly to the command block’s position.

~ ~3 ~ would teleport you three blocks above the command block.

Once you’ve typed the command, press Done. If you then press the button on the command block, it will teleport that player (UnderMyCap) to the chosen location.

@e — Every Entity

@e targets every entity in the entire world. That includes mobs, armor stands, item entities, and more.

If you teleport @e to one spot, everything will be pulled there. This can also cause lag—especially on weaker computers—because it’s teleporting so many things at once.

To avoid that, you’ll want to narrow down @e by adding filters.

Narrowing Down Targets With Filters

Filtering by Type (Example: Pigs Only)

You can filter entities by type using:

type=

For example:

@e[type=pig] will target only pigs.

You can also exclude types using an exclamation mark:

@e[type=!player] targets everything except players.

If you set up a teleport using @e[type=!player], it will teleport mobs (like pigs) to the location, but it will not teleport players.

If you want to be more specific and only teleport pigs, you don’t need to exclude players—you can just target pigs directly with:

@e[type=pig]

Filtering by Name (Using Name Tags)

If you want to teleport only a specific named mob, you can use a name filter. This requires a name tag.

Rename the name tag to whatever you want (for example, Example), then use:

@e[name=Example]

Important: The name is case-sensitive, so you must type it exactly as it appears.

This will teleport any entity with the name “Example” to the destination you choose. If you name an entity incorrectly or misspell it, it won’t match the command, and it won’t be teleported.

@p — Nearest Player

@p teleports the closest player to the command block (or command source).

If you’re the only player in the world, Minecraft will treat you as the closest player, so @p will target you.

@r — Random Player

@r selects a random player in the world and teleports them to the destination you set.

Wrap-Up

That’s a short example of how to use the /tp command in Minecraft, including how to target specific players, all players, or specific entities using filters like type and name.
