About
MoveTargetTo instantly relocates any creature, player, or structure your crosshair is aimed at to the coordinates you specify. The command does not move you, only the target.
This is useful for repositioning stuck creatures, moving structures into place during setup, or ejecting players from unreachable areas. Aim at your target before entering the command, and provide all three coordinates; the teleport will fail silently if any are missing or invalid.
Requires cheat mode and works from the console. The target must be in render distance or the command may not register.
