Using Commands to Spawn and Control Caravans

Spawning Caravans on Demand

Use /caravan spawn <pos> <type> to create a specific caravan at your chosen coordinates. This lets you test different group types or guarantee loot without waiting for natural spawns. Replace <pos> with coordinates and <type> with your desired caravan variant.

Managing Spawn Rates

Toggle natural caravan spawning with /gamerule doCaravanSpawning. Disable it to prevent random spawns while you set up, or enable it to return to normal gameplay. This is useful for controlling difficulty or creating specific scenarios.

Checking Cooldown Timers

Use /caravan cooldown to see how long until the next natural spawn occurs or to adjust the timer manually. After a major spawn, the cooldown increases significantly, so checking this command helps you plan when to expect the next caravan. These commands give you full control over caravan mechanics for testing, farming, or customizing your experience.
