How to Use Teleport Commands in Minecraft

Reference for vanilla and EssentialsX teleport commands on your Minecraft server.

Teleport commands let you move players around your world instantly. Vanilla Minecraft has basic teleportation, while EssentialsX adds player-friendly commands.

Vanilla Teleport Commands

Use these in Console on the XGamingServer panel or in-game with OP permissions:

CommandDescription
/tp [player] [x] [y] [z]Teleport a player to coordinates
/tp [player] [target]Teleport a player to another player
/tp @a [x] [y] [z]Teleport all players to coordinates
/tp @p [x] [y] [z]Teleport nearest player
/tp [player] ~ ~10 ~Teleport 10 blocks up (relative coords)

Relative Coordinates: Use ~ for relative positions. ~ ~10 ~ means "same X, 10 blocks up, same Z".

EssentialsX Teleport Commands

If you have EssentialsX installed, players can use these (with permissions):

CommandDescription
/tpa [player]Request to teleport to a player
/tpahere [player]Request a player to teleport to you
/tpacceptAccept a teleport request
/tpdenyDeny a teleport request
/backReturn to your last location
/spawnTeleport to world spawn
/home [name]Teleport to your home
/sethome [name]Set a home at your location
/warp [name]Teleport to a warp point

💡 Tip: EssentialsX adds cooldowns and delays to teleports to prevent abuse. Configure these in plugins/Essentials/config.yml.

📝 Note: Vanilla /tp is instant and requires OP. EssentialsX /tpa requires the other player's permission and has a delay.
