Minecraft Rotate Command Generator

The /rotate command turns an entity without moving it, and the facing forms are what make it useful: face a block position, or face another entity anchored at its feet or eyes. Set yaw and pitch by hand, or build a facing form here and skip the trigonometry.

  • Exact yaw and pitch, with ~ relative values
  • facing <position> for block-aimed rotation
  • facing entity <target> with a feet or eyes anchor

FAQ

How do I turn an entity to face a point without moving it?

/rotate <target> facing <x> <y> <z> turns it toward that position in place. Unlike /tp with a facing argument, /rotate changes only orientation, leaving the location untouched.

What is the difference between yaw and pitch?

Yaw is the horizontal turn (0 is south, -90 is east) and pitch is the vertical tilt (-90 looks straight up, 90 straight down). You can set exact values or use ~ for relative turns.

How do I make an entity look at a player?

/rotate <target> facing entity <player> with a feet or eyes anchor turns it to track that entity, which is handy for aiming display entities and armor stands.
