Teleportation
Teleportation is a form of transportation in which the moving object is instantaneously moved to its target location.
Overview
Teleportation can occur under numerous circumstances. The target object appears to instantly be at its destination afterward, usually[1] playing a sound in the process (cases, where they do not, are not accidental). It can also refer to entities traveling through portals.
Player teleportation
- Throwing an ender pearl.
- Eating a chorus fruit.
- Using the
/teleportcommand. - Passing through a nether portal, end portal, exit portal or end gateway.
- Entering a bed.
- Mounting a horse, mule, donkey, llama, camel, saddled pig or saddled strider.
- Entering a boat or minecart.
- Dying and respawning.
Other mobs
Other mobs can teleport via other methods:
- Tamed wolves, cats, and parrots teleport to their owner if not sitting and their owner is far enough away.
- Endermen teleport under numerous circumstances.
- Shulkers are also capable of teleportation.
- Baby piglins may teleport onto nearby baby hoglins.
- As with players, foxes can teleport upon consumption of chorus fruit.
- Other entities can also be teleported using
/teleport. - They can be teleported by passing through a nether portal, end portal, exit portal or end gateway.
- A mob near a boat or minecart can be teleported inside.
Non-entities
Dragon eggs can also teleport when clicked on.
Ender chests allow the same set of items to be accessed from multiple locations, effectively teleporting them.
