Unlocking the Full Potential of Minecraft: A Guide to Enabling Cheats
Minecraft, the beloved open-world adventure game, offers players the freedom to explore and create. However, certain limitations exist in survival mode, particularly when it comes to utilizing commands and accessing exclusive blocks. To enhance your gaming experience, enabling cheats can be a game changer. Here’s a guide on how to activate cheats in both Minecraft Java and Bedrock editions.
How to Enable Cheats When Creating a Minecraft World
Activating cheats during the world creation process is straightforward. Follow these simple steps:
Bedrock- In the Create New World menu, navigate to the Cheats tab.
- Click on the first “Cheats” setting to enable cheats for your Minecraft world, allowing you to use commands and switch game modes even in survival mode.
- For Creative mode, cheats are enabled by default, so no additional steps are necessary.
- In the Create New World menu, you can opt to enable Creative mode, which automatically activates cheats.
- To enable cheats in a survival world, simply toggle the Allow Commands option, previously known as Allow Cheats.
How to Enable Cheats After Creating a Minecraft World
If you’ve already created a survival world and wish to enable cheats, follow these steps:
Bedrock- Pause the game while in your world and select Settings.
- Scroll down to the Game settings, where you’ll find the option to Activate Cheats. Click on it, then confirm by selecting the Continue button in the pop-up window.
- Load the world where you want to enable cheats and pause the game.
- Select the Open to LAN button.
- Toggle the Allow Commands option to enable it, then click on Start LAN World.
How to Disable Cheats in Minecraft
Understanding how to disable cheats is just as important. Here’s how to do it in both editions:
Bedrock- On Bedrock, disabling cheats is simple. Access the same Activate Cheats option in the Settings and turn it off, regardless of whether you started with a survival or creative world.
- If you initially allowed cheats in a survival world via the LAN option, you can simply close and reopen the world to reset it and remove cheat access. Ensure you switch back to survival mode before exiting.
- If you began with a creative world where cheats were enabled, you cannot disable them. You can disable cheats when creating a creative world, and later enable them through the LAN option, but remember to disable them again upon restarting the world.
