To teleport (the entity running the command) to a set of coordinates:
/teleport <location>
To teleport (the entity running the command) to the location of another target:

To teleport a target to the location of another target:
/teleport <targets> <destination>
To teleport a target to a set of coordinates facing the direction of another set of coordinates:
/teleport <targets> <location> facing <facingLocation>
To teleport a target to a set of coordinates and rotate the direction the target will be facing:
/teleport <targets> <location> [<yRot> <xRot>]
In Minecraft Java Edition (PC/Mac) 1.10, 1.11 and 1.12, the syntax to teleport an entity to a set of coordinates is:

How to Enter the Command
1. Open the Chat Window
The easiest way to run a command in Minecraft is within the chat window. The game control to open the chat window depends on the version of Minecraft:
- For Java Edition (PC/Mac), press the T key to open the chat window.
- For Pocket Edition (PE), tap on the chat button
at the top of the screen. - For Xbox One, press the D-Pad (right)
on the controller. - For PS4, press the D-Pad (right) on the controller.
- For Nintendo Switch, press the right arrow button
on the controller. - For Windows 10 Edition, press the T key to open the chat window.
- For Education Edition, press the T key to open the chat window.
2. Type the Command
In this example, we will teleport the player named DigMinecraft to the coordinates (-203, 63, 255):
/teleport DigMinecraft -203 63 255
Type the command in the chat window. As you are typing, you will see the command appear in the lower left corner of the game window. Press the Enter key to run the command.
Once the cheat has been entered, the entity will be teleported to the new coordinates.
In this example, DigMinecraft has been teleported to the coordinates (-202.5, 63.0, 255.5).
TIP: The /teleport command may adjust your teleportation coordinates slightly to avoid teleporting you partially inside of an object.
In this example, DigMinecraft was teleported to (-202.5, 63.0, 255.5) even though we entered (-203 63 255) as the destination coordinates.
Congratulations, you just learned how to use the /teleport command in Minecraft!
