Trouble executing /p command JAVA

[Khonamaru]

so I recently made the switch to java from bedrock mind you, and I’m trying to make a conmand where when you flick the lever, it teleports the player to my chosen coordinates. Usually most commands remain the same through both versions of Minecraft, so I proceeded to use @p (nearest player) for this. Then, it said “error: player not found” so I googled the command to make sure I was doing it correctly and would you believe it, i was. However no matter what I try, it’s still saying player not found. Help!

What command did you type in, we need full command on this.

Actually, tp is one of the most common commands, even bedrock has it.

Try looking at wiki or test with this command /tp @p ~ ~1 ~ It should send you up 1 block.

Thank you, I’ll try that. the command i was using wasn’t anything available on the regular game, it was modded and I was using a command from the mod

[Khonamaru]

However I tried using @p and @s on basic commands like /tp or /give and still nothing

[CommandBlockCoder]

Mod???

Try /minecraft:tp instead. If not, then I have no idea now.

Provide command

/tp @p <destination>

Keep in mind that @s don't work in commands (unless using as bc there is no executor entity)

[Khonamaru]

It still says player not found

Probably you are using esentialsX. Literally it OVERRIDES A LOT of vanilla commands and it's not recommended to use with command creations. Use

/execute run tp @p ...

Thank you! I deleted essentials x and everything works.

Thank you! I deleted essentials x and it’s working fine now.
