About

TeleportToPlayerName moves you instantly to wherever the target player is standing. It's useful for quickly reaching a player who reports a problem, needs help, or is building in a remote area.

If a player's name contains spaces, wrap it in quotation marks: cheat TeleportToPlayerName "Player Name". The command requires full admin or server owner rights and will fail silently if the player name does not exist or is not currently online.
