How to raise the command fork limit in Minecraft

Run /gamerule max_command_forks 131072 so one command chain or function can create up to 131072 execution contexts. The default is 65536.

max_command_forks

Sets the maximum number of execution contexts one command chain or function can create.

/gamerule max_command_forks <value>

Examples

/gamerule max_command_forks 131072

Double the default limit.

Arguments

valueOptional: Whole number to set. Leave it out to show the current value.

What it does

Commands like /execute as @e create one context per matched entity. This limit stops a single function from forking into so many contexts that the server stalls. Datapack authors raise it only when a large world legitimately needs it.

Good to know

Renamed from maxCommandForkCount.
