This Minecraft tutorial explains how to program a command block to build a castle from only one command in Minecraft with screenshots and step-by-step instructions.
Let's explore how to do this.
* The version that it was added or removed, if applicable.
NOTE: Pocket Edition (PE), Xbox One, PS4, Nintendo Switch, and Windows 10 Edition are now called Bedrock Edition. We will continue to show them individually for version history.
First, you need to program the command block with a /summon command that will be used to build the castle. This /summon command will be run when the command block is activated.
So, stand in front of the command block with your pointer (the plus sign) on the command block and click on the right mouse button.
This will bring up the programming console for the command block.
Now, type your command in the "Console Command" text box.

Now, activate the command block with the redstone device such as a lever, button, or pressure plate. In this example, we are going to use a lever to activate the command block.
When a player pulls the lever, the command block will be activated.
Now you will see a tower of command blocks and redstone blocks appear. Then after a few seconds, the castle will be created next to you.
This is what the inside of the castle will look like.
Congratulations, you have learned how to program a command block to build a castle with one command.
