How to Enter the Command
1. Open the Chat Window
The easiest way to run a command in Minecraft is within the chat window. The game control to open the chat window depends on the version of Minecraft:
- For Pocket Edition (PE), tap on the chat buttonÂ
 at the top of the screen. - For Xbox One, press the D-Pad (right)Â
 on the controller. - For PS4, press the D-Pad (right)  on the controller.
- For Nintendo Switch, press the right arrow buttonÂ
 on the controller. - For Windows 10 Edition, press the T key to open the chat window.

2. Type the Command
In this example, we will show you how to disable the pillager patrol event (which also disables Raids) with the following command:
/mobevent minecraft:pillager_patrols_event false
Type the command in the chat window. As you are typing, you will see the command appear in the lower left corner of the game window. Press the Enter key to run the command.
Once the cheat has been entered, the mob event will be updated.
You will see the message “Mob Event Pillager (id:minecraft:pillager_patrols_event) set to false” appear in the top left corner of the game window to indicate that the command has successfully completed. Now the pillager patrols event has been disabled.
