Beginner Command Block Tutorial Part 7 - The /execute Command

Do you want to get started making awesome things with Command Blocks - or are you just curious how they work and would like to experiment for yourself? Then this is the video series for you - we'll go through how command blocks work, step by step - from complete novice to mastering all the complexities of commands!

In this episode, we look at how to use the /execute command to make things happen at the position of a player or entity, and discuss how to use the /execute command to make commands happen conditionally.

Commands covered:
/execute

You do not need any prior knowledge about command blocks to start following this series - but you need to know the very basics of redstone. Each episode will expand on the knowledge acquired in the previous ones.
