The Give command can add any item to a player's inventory, and is thus much more convenient than having to manually switch over to Minecraft Creative mode and then searching for a single item. Being able to instantly replace an item lost to a glitch is a handy ability to have.

The Time command, as its name suggests, is able to change the game's current time of day. Players can either set the current time to a specific point in the day or add time to the current moment. There are also a few preset timings that they can jump to, including day, noon, midnight, and night.

10) Fillbiome

Fillbiome is a much more niche command than many of the others mentioned in this list. However, that doesn't make it any less powerful. This command is able to change the biome of the selected region, changing which mobs are capable of spawning there. This makes terraforming projects much better, as their biomes can be updated to reflect their custom environments.
