Minecraft players can now manipulate mobs with the Gravity Stick, thanks to Aero's innovative use of command blocks. This feature, released on 2025-11-11, enables players to emulate the iconic Half-Life gravity gun without mods.
Command Block Mechanics
The Gravity Stick employs a command block setup that allows players to move in-game entities. To use it, players need to spawn a Command Block with the command /give @s command_block. Once set to Repeating, Unconditional, Always Active, players paste the command: /execute as @a[nbt={SelectedItem:{id:"minecraft:stick"}}] at @s positioned ^ ^1 ^10 run tp @e[type=!player, type=!minecraft:item, distance=..15] ~ ~ ~.
Additional Features and Fun
Aero's creation does not stop at the Gravity Stick. Additional commands shown include altering player size, spawning TNT trails, and equipping mobs with items, broadening gameplay without needing external mods.
