Mastering the Minecraft Mob-Killing Commands: A Comprehensive Guide

There are many reasons to eliminate mobs in Minecraft. The most efficient method is using commands, specifically the /kill command. However, even this seemingly simple command has some nuances. This guide details how to target and eliminate mobs effectively.

Before You Begin: Enabling Cheats

The /kill command requires a world with cheats enabled. If cheats aren't already activated, follow these instructions:

Java Edition:

  1. Enter your world.
  2. Press Esc.
  3. Select "Open to LAN."
  4. Toggle "Allow Commands" to "On."

Remember, this enables cheats only for that session. To permanently enable cheats, create a new world copy with cheats enabled from the main menu's Singleplayer screen.

Bedrock Edition:

  2. Select the world and click the pencil icon.
  3. In the settings menu, toggle "Cheats" to "On."

Using the /kill Command

The basic /kill command, entered alone, will kill the player. To target mobs, use selectors:

  • /kill @e[type=!minecraft:player]: This kills all entities except the player.

  • /kill @e[type=minecraft:chicken]: This kills all chickens.

  • Targeting by Distance:

    • Java Edition: /kill @e[distance=..15] (kills all entities within 15 blocks)
    • Bedrock Edition: /kill @e[r=10] (kills all entities within 10 blocks)
  • Specific Mobs within a Distance:

    • Java Edition: /kill @e[distance=..15,type=minecraft:sheep] (kills sheep within 15 blocks)
    • Bedrock Edition: /kill @e[r=10,type=minecraft:sheep] (kills sheep within 10 blocks)

The game autocompletes commands, so precise memorization isn't necessary.

Key Selectors:

  • @p: Nearest player
  • @r: Random player
  • @a: All players
  • @e: All entities
  • @s: Yourself

With these commands, you can efficiently manage mob populations in your Minecraft world. Minecraft is available on PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, PC, and mobile devices.
