Enable Command Blocks on Your Minecraft Server

How to enable command blocks on your Minecraft Java server.

Command blocks are disabled by default on servers. Enable them in server.properties:

enable-command-block=true

Restart your server after changing.

Requirements

  • Only OP level 2+ players can place and use command blocks
  • Command blocks cannot be obtained in survival — use /give @p command_block
  • Three types: Impulse (orange), Chain (green), Repeat (purple)

⚠️ Security: Command blocks can execute any command. Only enable on servers where all OPs are trusted.
