How to change which way a player faces in Minecraft
Type /rotate @p 180 0 in chat as an operator to turn yourself to face north, looking straight ahead.
rotate
Changes the facing direction of an entity, to set exact angles or turn it toward a position or entity.
/rotate <target> <rotation|facing <location>|facing entity <entity> [eyes|feet]> Examples
/rotate @p 180 0 Makes the nearest player face north.
/rotate @p facing 0 64 0 Turns the player toward 0, 64, 0.
/rotate @e[type=minecraft:armor_stand,limit=1,sort=nearest] facing entity @p eyes Points an armor stand at the nearest player.
Arguments
targetRequired- One entity to turn.
rotationOptional- Yaw and pitch, absolute or relative with
~. facingOptional- A position or entity to face.
What it does
Give a yaw and pitch, or use facing with coordinates or facing entity to point at something. Yaw 0 faces south, 90 west, 180 north and -90 east; pitch -90 looks straight up and 90 straight down. It changes only the direction, not the position.
Good to know
- Needs operator permission level 2.
