Chain Command Block - Minecraft Block Guide | Properties, Recipe & Uses (2025)

What is Chain Command Block in Minecraft?

A chain command block is a special type of command block that is designed to run in a sequence. It has a greenish cyan color, which sets it apart from the other two types. Its main purpose is to execute its command only after the command block pointing into it has successfully executed its own command. This allows you to "chain" together a series of commands that will run one after another in a single game tick. This is incredibly powerful for creating complex functions, animations, or game mechanics. It is an essential tool for anyone making adventure maps, minigames, or advanced server functions, allowing for much more organized and powerful command sequences.

How to get Chain Command Block in Minecraft

The only way to get a chain command block is by using a game command. You cannot find it, craft it, or pick it from the creative inventory menu. To get one, you must have cheats enabled in your world or have operator permissions on a server. Once you have the ability to use commands, you can give one to yourself. Open the chat window by pressing the 'T' key on your keyboard. Then, type in the following command: `/give @p minecraft:chain_command_block`. The `@p` part of the command means it will give the item to the nearest player, which is you. You can change the number at the end of the command if you want more than one. This is the only method to obtain this advanced, secret block.

How to use Chain Command Block in Minecraft

To use a chain command block, you must place it so that an arrow on its side points away from another command block. It has two main modes: "Conditional" and "Unconditional". In its default "Unconditional" mode, it will run its command as long as the block behind it was activated, whether that block's command succeeded or not. In "Conditional" mode, it will only run its command if the block behind it was activated AND its command was successful. You also need to set it to "Always Active" in its menu for it to work in a chain. A typical setup is to have a regular "Impulse" command block start a sequence, which then triggers a line of chain command blocks, each one running its command in order.

My Story

How This All Started

So basically, I was playing Minecraft one night after a long day doing deliveries, and I was trying to remember what drops what and how to craft certain things. Every website I went to was either dead slow, missing loads of stuff, or just looked terrible. I thought "bloody hell, surely I can do better than this?"

By the way, this My Story section is something new I've only just started adding things here! Most of the site was actually built before I ever wrote this part. Now that the website is live, I'm running into problems galore! So if things look a bit rough or unfinished, bear with me I'm updating and adding as I go.

That was probably a mistake.

A half finished story, oh well. I'll keep adding more as I go!

Learning the Hard Way

I knew absolutely nothing about making websites. Like, properly nothing. I didn't even know what PHP was. But I'm stubborn as anything, so I just started watching YouTube tutorials and reading random stuff online while I was on my breaks.

Turns out building a database is harder than it looks. Who knew? I've probably broken this thing more times than I've fixed it. My laptop has definitely been sworn at more than it deserves.

The worst part is when you spend hours trying to figure out why something doesn't work, and it turns out you missed a semicolon. Or when everything works fine on your computer but looks like complete rubbish on someone else's. Fun times.

The Reality of It

Look, I'm not gonna lie this has been a right pain sometimes. I work full time doing deliveries, so most of this gets done late at night when I should probably be sleeping. I've had way too many energy drinks and definitely not enough sleep.

The database has corrupted itself more times than I care to remember. I've had images that wouldn't load for no reason. CSS that worked yesterday but decided to have a tantrum today. The usual web development nightmare stuff.

But every time I get something working properly, it feels brilliant. Like when I finally got all the block images showing up correctly, or when the search actually started finding things. Small wins, but they keep me going.

What I Actually Want to Build

Here's the thing I want this to be your go to place for everything Minecraft. Not just blocks and items, but proper guides, build tutorials, maybe even schematics you can download. Server info, community stuff, the lot.

I know it doesn't look like much right now, and there's loads missing. But I'm working on it. It takes time when you're learning as you go and doing it around a full time job. But I'd rather take my time and do it properly than rush it and end up with something rubbish.

The plan is to make it the kind of site I actually want to use fast, easy to navigate, with everything you need in one place. No endless ads, no broken links, just useful stuff presented in a way that doesn't make you want to throw your computer out the window.

Why I Keep Going

Honestly? Because every time someone uses this site or gives me feedback, it reminds me why I started. I love Minecraft, I love building things (both in game and apparently websites), and I love the community.

Plus, I've learned loads doing this. Sure, I've wanted to give up more times than I can count, but seeing it slowly come together is pretty satisfying. And if it helps other people find what they're looking for without having to trawl through ten different outdated websites, then that's worth it.

So yeah, bear with me while I figure this all out. It's going to take a while, but it'll get there eventually. Thanks for checking it out, and if you spot anything broken or have suggestions, let me know. I'm still learning, but I'm determined to make this work.
