Minecraft /rotate command
Turns only the target's view, without teleporting it.
Syntax
/rotate <target> <rotation>
/rotate <target> facing <facingLocation>
/rotate <target> facing entity <facingEntity>
Parts in square brackets are optional, parts in angle brackets are required. You do not type the brackets: Put your own value in their place.
Arguments
| Argument | What it does |
|---|---|
| <rotation> | Yaw and pitch in degrees; the tilde rotates relatively. |
| facing | Turns toward the given point or entity. |
Examples
/rotate @s ~90 ~
Turns you 90 degrees to the right.

Good to know
- Added in 1.21.2; before that, the tp command was used for this.
How do I run this command?
Press T in game to open chat (or press / directly), type the command and press Enter. While typing, Tab completes the options. This command counts as a cheat: It needs cheats enabled in a singleplayer world, and operator permission on a server (operator (level 2)).
