How to Get a Command Block in Minecraft

The beauty of Minecraft is that it can be both an easily accessible experience for younger players who simply stack blocks and a full programming venture that can be used to create incredibly complicated systems. Command Blocks have been added to Minecraft Bedrock Edition, allowing you to execute commands that would normally be put in the console.

These special blocks allow you to totally automate commands that you would normally type in the chat, and this is just the beginning of their use. Check out the instructions below to learn how to enable and get Command Blocks in Minecraft Bedrock Edition.

The best way to learn about their application is by experimenting with simple ideas and moving on to more complex ones.
