All of the commands in Bedrock you'll ever need
In the world of Minecraft Bedrock commands (or cheats), are strings of text that can execute in-game actions. That can be anything from moving objects to changing the weather, clearing players' inventory, creating building blocks and so on, there's a command that can automate that process for you. Learning how to properly use them can save a lot of time and make the process of creating worlds much more enjoyable.
How to use Minecraft Bedrock commands?
There are two ways one can use commands in Minecraft Bedrock (previously known as Minecraft PE). One simple way is by the use of a ‘chat window’. All you have to do is simply select the ‘Chat’ button to open the ‘Chat box’ and type in the command that you want to use. Every command must start with ‘/’ and keep in mind that they are case-sensitive.

Another way to execute commands is by using 'Command Blocks'. Because command blocks have the ability to activate a series of different command inputs, that allows players to create long automated sequences.
To obtain a command block, first enable creative mode and then open the chatbox and enter ‘/give *your username* command block’. Keep in mind that different versions of Minecraft have different ways of activating control blocks. This is the process for the Bedrock version!
How to enable cheats
To be able to use commands, players must first allow 'cheats' before they load into their world. The process is very easy but keep in mind this: Activating cheats will disable your achievements for that specific world. To do so, go to ‘Settings’, select ‘Game’ and then ‘Cheats’.
Syntax and the Help Command
Because Minecraft Bedrock commands are like a programming language in a way, players who are not familiar with how everything works might feel somewhat overwhelmed at the start. Even veteran players can run into some issues when running commands from time to time, it’s pretty normal.
The use of '/help' or ‘/?’ displays a list of every console command but it can also give valuable information about a specific command and how to use it. All we have to do is type '/help' followed by the name. For example: '/help teleport'.

Of course, since it's Minecraft we are talking about here, there's a very large community dedicated to it. There are forums and different wiki sites with information available for everyone. If you are having issues with a specific command and how to use it, or you simply want to learn more about it, you can always use those resources.

I've enjoyed playing games ever since I was a kid (which was a long long time ago at this point). It all started off with an Atari 65XE, then came an Amiga 500+, a Sega Genesis, a 386, and the rest was history. I consider myself lucky to have been able to experience the gaming evolution over the years - this is my passion, and what I will continue to do for as long as I can.
