Minecraft: Ultimate Guide to Eliminating All Mobs

Mastering Minecraft Mob Elimination: A Guide to the /kill Command

There are many reasons to eliminate mobs in Minecraft. The easiest method utilizes commands, specifically the /kill command. However, this seemingly simple command has nuances. This guide explains how to target and eliminate mobs effectively.

Prerequisites: Enabling Cheats

Before using any kill commands, ensure your Minecraft world has cheats enabled. The instructions below differ slightly depending on your edition:

Java Edition:

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

Commands will now function in your world, but you must repeat this process each time you load the world. To permanently enable cheats, create a world copy with cheats enabled using the "Re-create" option in the singleplayer world selection menu.

Bedrock Edition:

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

Utilizing the /kill Command

The /kill command's basic syntax is straightforward, but adding selectors provides precise control:

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

• /kill @e[type=minecraft:chicken] – Eliminates all chickens.

• Java Edition: /kill @e[distance=..15] – Eliminates all entities within 15 blocks.

• Bedrock Edition: /kill @e[r=10] – Eliminates all entities within 10 blocks.

• Java Edition: /kill @e[distance=..15,type=minecraft:sheep] – Eliminates all sheep within 15 blocks.

• Bedrock Edition: /kill @e[r=10,type=minecraft:sheep] – Eliminates all sheep within 10 blocks.

The game autocompletes commands, minimizing memorization.

Important Selectors:

Understanding these selectors is crucial for targeted mob elimination:

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

With practice, you'll master the /kill command and efficiently manage Minecraft's mob population. Minecraft is available on PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, PC, and mobile devices.
