Give Command in Minecraft Java Edition (PC/Mac)

/give <targets> repeating_command_block [amount]

Definitions

• targets is the name of the player (or a target selector) that you wish to give the repeating command block to.

Example in Java Edition (PC/Mac)

To give 1 repeating command block to the player named DigMinecraft:

/give DigMinecraft repeating_command_block

To give 64 repeating command blocks to the nearest player:

/give @p repeating_command_block 64

To give 5 repeating command blocks to all players:

/give @a repeating_command_block 5

How to Enter the Command

1. Open the Chat Window

The easiest way to run a command in Minecraft is within the chat window. The game control to open the chat window depends on the version of Minecraft:

• For Java Edition (PC/Mac), press the T key to open the chat window.
• For Pocket Edition (PE), tap on the chat button  at the top of the screen.
• For Xbox One, press the D-Pad (right)  on the controller.
• For Nintendo Switch, press the right arrow button  on the controller.
• For Windows 10 Edition, press the T key to open the chat window.
• For Education Edition, press the T key to open the chat window.

2. Type the Command

In this example, we will give 1 repeating command block to the player called DigMinecraft with the following command:

/give DigMinecraft repeating_command_block

Type the command in the chat window. As you are typing, you will see the command appear in the lower left corner of the game window. Press the Enter key to run the command.

Once the cheat has been entered, the repeating command block will be added to the player's inventory.

You will see the message "Given [Repeating Command Block] x 1 to DigMinecraft" appear in the lower left corner of the game window. You have now given 1 repeating command block to the player called DigMinecraft.

Congratulations, you have learned how to craft a repeating command block using the /give command in Minecraft.
