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

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

Prerequisites: Enabling Cheats

Before using any commands, ensure your Minecraft world has cheats enabled. If unsure, see the instructions below.

The /kill Command: Syntax and Usage

The basic command is /kill, but this will kill you. To target mobs, use specific syntax:

  • Kill all mobs: /kill @e[type=!minecraft:player] (@e targets all entities; type=!minecraft:player excludes the player.)

  • Kill specific mobs: /kill @e[type=minecraft:chicken] (Replace chicken with the desired mob type.)

  • Kill mobs within a radius:

    • Java Edition: /kill @e[distance=..15] (Kills mobs within 15 blocks.) /kill @e[distance=..15,type=minecraft:sheep] (Kills sheep within 15 blocks.)

    • Bedrock Edition: /kill @e[r=10] (Kills mobs within 10 blocks.) /kill @e[r=10,type=minecraft:sheep] (Kills sheep within 10 blocks.)

The game autocompletes commands, minimizing memorization.

Important Selectors:

Understanding these selectors is key:

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