How To Use The Minecraft Replace Item Command In Bedrock Edition (Updated)

Hey everybody, I’m UnderMyCap and welcome back to another video! Today I’m showing you how to use the Replace Item command in Bedrock Edition. If you are on Java Edition, make sure to check out that video instead, because this tutorial will not work for you. Java Edition actually uses a very unique and different command structure now called /item, which is a little different, but today we’re focusing entirely on Bedrock Edition. If you’d prefer to watch the video version of this tutorial, you can check it out here: How To Use The Minecraft Replace Item Command In Bedrock MCPE!

Before You Get Started: Enable Cheats

Before jumping into the command itself, there is one important thing to keep in mind. You will need to make sure that cheats are activated for your world, otherwise the command simply will not work. Once cheats are enabled, open up your command terminal and you are ready to go.

Understanding The Replace Item Command

In Bedrock Edition, the command is still /replaceitem, unlike Java Edition which has moved to /item. When you type in replaceitem, you will see that it prompts you with the key parts of the command, which are the position, type of container, slot, slot ID, and the item name. The two main types you will be working with are entity and block, and in this tutorial I’ll be covering both.

Replacing Items On A Player (Entity)

To start, let’s look at how to replace items on a player. For this example, I wanted to have a little fun and turn myself into an astronaut by placing a glass block on my head. To do this, you select entity as your type, then enter the player name — in this case undermycap. Next, you set the slot to slot.armor, and once you type that in, a whole range of options will appear including slot.armor.feet, slot.armor.chest, slot.armor.head, and slot.armor.legs. Since we want to place something on the head, we choose slot.armor.head. The slot ID is set to 0, and then you simply type in the item you want — in this case glass — and set the amount to 1. Hit enter, and you’ll see the message confirming that the armor slot has been replaced with glass, and sure enough, glass will now appear in your helmet slot.

One interesting thing to note is that while the item does get placed into the slot, you may find that you cannot manually remove it in the usual way, which is just something to keep in mind when using this command.

Replacing Items In A Player’s Inventory

The Replace Item command also works for placing items directly into a player’s inventory slots. Instead of using slot.armor, you would use slot.inventory, and then specify the slot ID. Inventory slots start at 0 for the first slot and count up from there. For example, if you wanted to place a redstone dust into slot number 5, you would set the slot ID to 5, type in redstone, set the amount to 1, and hit enter. The redstone will appear right in that inventory slot, which is a really handy feature.

Replacing Items In A Chest (Block)

Now let’s look at how to use the Replace Item command on a block, specifically a chest. Before running the command, make sure your crosshair or cursor is pointing directly at the chest you want to target. If you are playing on a touch device such as a tablet or phone, make sure your selection circle is resting on top of the chest before you proceed. When you type in replaceitem block, the coordinates that pop up will correspond to whatever block you are currently looking at, making it easy to grab the exact location. For example, typing in the coordinates shown for the chest and then selecting slot.container — since a chest does not have armor slots — and setting a slot ID, item name, and amount will fill that specific slot in the chest with your chosen item. Using bamboo as an example with an amount of 10, opening the chest afterwards will show exactly 10 bamboo sitting right in that slot. You can also target different slot numbers, and the item will appear in the corresponding position within the chest, which is really cool. It is also worth noting that this works with double chests as well, giving you access to all of the available slots across the combined inventory.

Wrapping Up

And that is really all there is to the Replace Item command in Bedrock Edition! I have tried to keep this as straightforward as possible so you can get the information you need quickly and easily. Just a reminder — if you are playing on Java Edition, please make sure to check out the dedicated Java Edition video for this command, as the commands are different and this tutorial will not apply to you. It would mean a lot if you could leave a like and subscribe if you found this helpful, and I cannot wait to see you in the next one. See ya!
