Description
A Chain Command Block is a type of command block that runs its set of commands in a sequence and is used in adventure maps and in server setups to trigger actions automatically. It looks like a command interface with a chain like accent which indicates it is part of a linked series of command blocks that pass control from one to the next. Using Chain Command Blocks lets map makers and server administrators design sequences of events that happen one after another such as complex cut scenes teleport chains and staged world changes. Because it executes commands in order it is a reliable tool to coordinate multiple effects without manual input and is often used with repeating and impulse command blocks to build full automated systems. Chain Command Blocks are a key tool for advanced map making and for server mini games because they allow automated scripts and interactions to be executed reliably every time a trigger occurs.
What is Chain Command Block?
A Chain Command Block is a command block variant that executes its stored command when triggered in a chain sequence. It is used to create ordered sequences of actions on the server or in single player maps and it passes control along a chain of neighboring command blocks for complex behavior.
Where to find Chain Command Block
Chain Command Blocks do not generate naturally in the wild and are not part of normal survival play. They are available in creative mode and in map making tools where you can place and configure them for custom gameplay. Look for them in custom adventure maps and in server puzzle areas where scripted events occur.
How to get Chain Command Block
Obtain a Chain Command Block in creative mode or via commands if your game allows command block creation. Only players with the appropriate permissions or in creative mode can place and configure command blocks. Use commands to get one if you need to test map sequences and ensure you have the right permission level on multiplayer servers.

How to use Chain Command Block
Place Chain Command Blocks adjacent to other command blocks in a series to create a sequence of commands. Configure each block with the desired command and set the block to conditional or unconditional depending on whether you want later commands to depend on earlier results. Chain Command Blocks will execute in the correct sequence when triggered by an impulse command block or by other map triggers.
