All Minecraft 1.19 server commands for Bedrock and Java Editions

Minecraft is known for its multiplayer. Between CallMeCarson’s Survival MultiPlayer and the recent Dream SMP, multiplayer has been very instrumental in Minecraft’s uptick in popularity over the years.

There are many commands that players can use to interact with both the server and the players on them. For players running their own servers, knowing the commands that they can use to interact with the world and players can be instrumental in keeping the server running smoothly. However, due to the number of commands and the complexity of some of these commands, they can be hard to keep track of.

While there are many more commands than those listed here, these commands are specifically important for multiplayer servers.

All server commands for Minecraft 1.19 and what they do

Java exclusive commands

1) /ban

This command will, when combined with a player’s username, cause the player to get banned from the server. This will remove them and forbid them from rejoining the server.

2) /ban-ip

This does the same as the ban command, but instead of being set to a specific profile username, it works for an IP address. This will stop problematic players from being able to rejoin using a different Minecraft account, as their network's IP address will be banned instead of just the account.

3) /banlist

This command will show the names and IP addresses currently on the ban list, should a server admin need to unban a specific user.

4) /defaultgamemode

This command will set the default game mode for the server (survival, creative, adventure, or spectator mode).

5) /forceload

This command forces a chunk to either be constantly loaded or will return the chunk to unload when no player is near.

6) /pardon

This command is the opposite of the /ban command. When combined with a username on the ban list, it will unban that specific player.

7) /pardon-ip

This command is the opposite of the /ban-ip command. When combined with a banned IP address, that specific IP address will be removed from the ban list.

8) /save-all

This command will save the server and the word to the disk the server is running on. This makes it a way to manually save a server.

9) /save-on

This command will turn automatic saves for the server on, meaning players will not need to remember to save the game themselves.

10) /save-off

This command will turn automatic saves for the server off. This means that players will need to remember to manually save before closing the server.

11) /setidletimeout

This command will allow server admins to set the time before idle players are automatically kicked from the server.

12) /team

This command is used to control any teams the server has.

13) /teammsg or /tm

These commands will allow server members to communicate in a hidden Minecraft chat.

14) /worldborder

This command will allow control over the world borders.

3) /clearspawnpoints

This command will clear any set spawn points in the world.

4) /connect

An alias of the /wsserver command, this command will attempt to connect to the websocket server.
