Practical guide on how to get a command block in Minecraft

How to get a Minecraft Command Block
It is important for a Minecraft gamer to know that it is not possible to get a command block from a creative inventory. There are two distinctive ways a player can get a command block in the Minecraft game.  Here are the two practical approaches to getting a command block in the Minecraft game:

  • By using the Pick block controls
  • By using some specific commands

Using the pick block controls

This is one of the practical ways to get a command block in the Minecraft game.  This can be done with the use of a standard gaming mouse where the mouse-wheel of your PC has a mouse wheel in between its two buttons.  It is usually called the third key of a mouse and is pressed down to use a pick block control in the game.
Whenever a Minecraft gamer presses down the third mouse key while looking at a block, that block would then appear in the inventory of the player in creative mode. Also, if the player has it on your bar in survival mode, it would simply switch to that item.
The pick block control is just one of the best ways to go about construction in the Minecraft game.  Pick block + control would enable the player to copy the command and options inside the command block, and place it elsewhere without the need to re-enter the data that is inside.

Using specific commands to get a command block

You can use a command block to change game settings, alter an existing in-game world and even grant players experience points. This is why it is important to know how to use some commands to get a command block.
