Enabling Command Blocks on a Minecraft Server

In Minecraft version 1.4.2 (Snapshot 12w32a), Command blocks were added to the game. These blocks can execute commands on the game servers, and quickly became a community favorite with custom adventure maps, gamemodes, and many other great use cases. Many adventure maps nowadays require command blocks to be enabled so they can function correctly.

Using the Nodecraft Pro Panel

This is the recommended and easiest way to enable command blocks on your server.

  1. Head to the Game Settings section of the Nodecraft Pro Panel.

  2. From within the Gamemode Settings Tab, ensure the Enable Command Blocks option is ticked.

  3. Hit "Save" and restart your server.

Using the server.properties File

You can also enable command blocks directly via the server.properties file. This can be edited via FTP, or the Server Files section of your panel.

  • Simply ensure that the enable-command-block is set to true, the file is saved, and restart the server.
