Builder Commands

In addition to WorldEdit, map creators have access to several utility commands to make building and testing faster and more convenient. These commands generally only work while you are in your own map in Build Mode.

Gamemode and Movement

• /mapgamemode <mode>

  • Alias: /mgm
  • Changes your gamemode within the map instance. This is useful for quickly switching to Survival or Adventure mode to test mechanics without having to leave build mode entirely.
  • Modes: creative, survival, adventure, spectator.

• /maptp <player>

  • Teleports you to another player who is also in the same map instance with you. Perfect for collaborating with other builders.

Spawning and Items

• /mapsummon <entity_type>

  • Summons a vanilla Minecraft entity at your location. This is a quick way to spawn mobs for testing combat or AI without needing to create a full Custom Entity.
  • Example: /mapsummon zombie

• /skull <player_name>

  • Gives you the skull of the specified player. Useful for decorations or creating custom NPCs.

• /debugstick

  • Gives you the vanilla Debug Stick. Use this tool to manually change block states, such as the direction of a stair, the orientation of a log, or whether a block is waterlogged.
    • Left-click a block to select a property (e.g., facing).
    • Right-click to cycle through the values for that property.
