How to enable cheats in Minecraft 1.19

Playing in the normal survival mode in Minecraft 1.19 can be very difficult. You have to pay attention to many stats, such as hunger and health, and the constant churn of resources can be stressful. Fortunately, Mojang has added a way for players to easily get everything they want, even in survival mode through the use of cheats. Here is how you can enable cheats in Minecraft 1.19, both Java and Bedrock editions.

How to enable cheats in Minecraft 1.19 Java Edition

Minecraft 1.19 Java Edition is a bit restrictive when it comes to cheats. You can either enable them when you are creating the world, or you can temporarily activate them by using a gimmick. Here is how you can enable cheats in Minecraft 1.19 Java Edition when you are creating a world:

1. Open up Minecraft and create a new world
2. In the menu, after clicking the Create New World button, you will see the settings for this new world. The second setting to the left is the Allow Cheats option. Turn it on

Now you can continue creating the world and you will have the ability to use cheats at any time. However, if you have already made a world and want to use cheats in that one, here is what you need to do:

1. Enter the world you have created and open the Game Menu by pressing Esc
2. Press the Open to LAN option to the right
3. Toggle the Allow Cheats option ON
4. Click the Start LAN World button at the bottom of the screen

You will now be able to use the cheat console as long as your LAN party is going on. If you come back later into the world, you will have to follow all of these steps again if you want to enable cheats.
