Teleport by a Relative Offset

Nudge yourself a set number of blocks from where you stand

✅ Verified for Java 26.2 · Bedrock 26.32 — checked June 2026

Moves you relative to your current position using tilde (~) notation instead of absolute coordinates. Here ~5 shifts 5 blocks east, ~ keeps your height, and ~-3 moves 3 blocks north. Leaving a tilde bare means 'no change' on that axis, so you can shift along one direction only.

/tp @s ~5 ~ ~-3
