help command.

While typing, pressing Tab ↹ autocompletes the first possible command or username starting with the letter(s) typed. If there are multiple usernames or commands beginning with the letter(s), the chat displays a list of possibilities; pressing tab again scrolls through the list.

• Some commands may also have additional parameters that may be autocompleted by pressing Tab ↹ at that point.
  • Certain commands that handle blocks (/blockdata, /fill, etc.) have parameters that need the x, y, and z coordinates of the target block(s). Using the Tab ↹ key when these coordinates are needed automatically adds the coordinates of the block the player is looking at.

In Java Edition, the chatbox can be reduced in size, the opacity may be adjusted or it may be hidden via the in the options menu. In Bedrock Edition, the chat settings are found within the chat screen and include options to change the color of the chat, the font, and its size.

In Bedrock Edition, swear words in multiple languages are censored and show up as asterisks.

Errors[]

If the player types a nonexistent command, the command contains syntax errors or the player does not have permission to use the specified command, the player receives an error message and the command does not function.

The user then receives an error message that is only seen by the user who has done the error that can be of all reasons why above.
