It's a lot of work. If it isn't for you there are always cheats and console commands. There is no better method to conquer the vast Minecraft world than to use the command bar, type in certain words and symbols and then create a cute clippy-cloppy pony adorned with diamond armor.

A console command is more than just a string of letters. They can instantly change the world by taking out all enemies around you to melting every metal in your inventory. Some might call this cheating, but we think of it as simply a way to save time and allowing you to get on with your amazing Minecraft project.

How do you enter Minecraft commands? The Minecraft console commands are easy to use. They can be used in the same way as entering Minecraft seeds. When you create a new Minecraft world you'll be prompted to choose whether or not you want to allow cheats. After you have selected yes and loaded the world, you'll have to press "C" to bring up the command bar. This is where you'll enter all your commands and cheats.

Any command you enter in single player needs to be prefixed by forward slash (/); multiplayer commands are not compatible with this prefix.

It's as easy as entering the desired command in the text box, then pressing the "Enter” key.
