Commands

Commands are actions entered by the player which make a certain action occur in the game automatically. Commands have been confirmed to be added in Update 0.15.0, but as of now, they can only be accessed via plugins.

Use
Commands are mostly used to make any action happen automatically, like mob spawning, block placing, inflicting status effects, etc.

Trivia

 * The MCPE team hinted that commands may be implemented through buttons.
 * Commands are coded in-game, but are not accessible. This can be confirmed as when the player enters anything with a /, the game says 'command not found'.
 * Commands used to be the only way to obtain Status Effects.
 * However, after Update 0.12.1, Status Effects can be obtained by potions.
 * Commands can be used in multiplayer on certain servers.
 * Alternatives to commands have been created for iOS and Android. Android has BlockLauncher allowing the use of modifications and the addition of commands and texture packs. iOS has PlugPE which implements commands through a program that sends a player named PlugPE that is invisible, follows the player, and follows certain commands received by the program that drops an item or uses one (uses . instead of / (eg. .g jeb_ ironsword,sharpness:3 2))
