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 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 add fog that has an ID of minecraft:fog_basalt_deltas to the player named DigMinecraft and assign it the name "DigMinecraft_test1" with the following command:
/fog DigMinecraft push "minecraft:fog_basalt_deltas" "DigMinecraft_test1"
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 fog setting will be added.
You will see the message "Fog setting was successfully added for DigMinecraft with id DigMinecraft_test1" appear in the top left corner of the game window to indicate that the command has successfully completed. In this case, DigMinecraft will now see the fog (that normally appears in the Basalt Deltas) in the current Minecraft World, regardless of the biome that DigMinecraft is in.
Congratulations, you have learned how to use the /fog command in Minecraft.
