How to make a Chain Command Block in Minecraft

This Minecraft tutorial explains how to craft a chain command block with screenshots and step-by-step instructions.

In Minecraft, a chain command block is an item that you can not make with a crafting table or furnace and it is not available through the Creative Inventory menu. You can only add a chain command block to your inventory using a game command.

Let's explore how to add a chain command block to your inventory.

Give Command in Minecraft Java Edition (PC/Mac)

In Minecraft Java Edition (PC/Mac), the syntax to give a player a chain command block using the /give command is:

/give <targets> chain_command_block [amount]

Definitions

• targets is the name of the player (or a target selector) that you wish to give the chain command block to.
• amount is the number of chain command blocks that you want to give. If you don't specify an amount, the player will be given 1 chain command block.

Examples

Example in Java Edition (PC/Mac)

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

/give DigMinecraft chain_command_block

To give 64 chain command blocks to the nearest player:

/give @p chain_command_block 64

To give 7 chain command blocks to all players:

/give @a chain_command_block 7

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 chain command block to the player called DigMinecraft with the following command:

/give DigMinecraft chain_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 chain command block will be added to the player's inventory.

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

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