Requirements

To run game commands in Minecraft, you have to turn cheats on in your world.

Summon Command

TIP: If you have summoned a slime that is too large and your game glitches, type the following /kill command to kill all slimes in your world:

/kill @e[type=Slime]

This will give you back control!! Though you may need to enter this command a few times as the slimes get smaller and smaller.

Examples

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.

2. Type the Command

In this example, we are going to summon a giant slime in Minecraft Java Edition (PC/Mac) 1.20 with the following command:

/summon slime ~ ~ ~ {Size:100}

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 giant slime will spawn and appear in your world:

You will see the message "Summoned new Slime" appear in the lower left corner of the game window to indicate that the giant slime has been summoned. You may need to look behind you to see it. Because this slime is so large, sometimes it will hop out of sight and you won't be able to catch it.

Congratulations, you have summoned a giant slime in Minecraft.
