Making an invisible pressure plate

[1.10.2]

With the use of target selectors and a single command block, this is possible. I am going to explain the method to do this for future use.

So there are two teleportation commands:

/tp

and

/teleport

tp is the one that we will be using as it calculates relative coordinates to the entity that the command was executed upon, whereas /teleport executes it upon the relative coordinates of the entity that is performing the command (i.e the player).

So now we have the following command. Aint that great :D

/tp

Now the normal context for this command comes like this:

/tp <player name> <player name>

or

/tp <player name> <X> <Y> <Z>

X Y Z are coordinates.

Instead of the above method's we will instead use target selectors, which come in three different types:

@a

executes all of the players.

@r

executes a random player.

@e

executes all entities (everything mob type)

@p

executes the nearest player (to where the command is being executed)

In this instance we will be using @a (all players). So now we have this command: :D

/tp @a

Ok dont type that in chat yet. Now we must add the target selector:

/tp @a[]

Now these square brackets are where the selectors will go.

/tp @a[x=X,y=Y,z=Z]

Ok so you add the coordinates that you want your pressure plate to go in the X Y Z zones (THE CAPITALS GODDAMNIT). Now we must add one final selector:

/tp @a[x=X,y=Y,z=Z,r=1]

The r selector stands for "radius". So this won't exactly execute in the radius of one block it feels a lot more a sphere the size pf one block. Now we add the coordinates that we want the player to go to:

/tp @a[x=X,y=Y,z=Z,r=1] X Y Z 

Change the second X Y Z to the coordinates the player needs to go to. To get coordinates press F3 for the debug menu it can be found there.

Finally, paste the command into a repeating command block thats always active. I can see you already know how to get them, but for you NOOBS out there I'll help yall out. /give @p command_block

I made an example of the machine:

Now the inside of the command block should look like this:

The coordinates in the picture are just an example.

Now for you lazy peeps... /tp @a[x=1,y=1,z=1,r=1] X Y Z

I have no clue what the heck Experimental Rocket just said. Why don't you just use something like /execute @e[type=Player] ~ ~ ~ detect wool 14 ~ ~-1 ~ 0 /tp YourPlayerNameHere X Y Z ? This will make it so that whenever you step on red wool, you get teleported to your X Y and Z. Don't forget to change YourPlayerNameHere to your username!

(This command goes in a repeating command block)

It has a method that utilizes the fact that an animal will not move unless a certain number of blocks close to the player. It works on a basis where a cow is surrounded by pressure plates, and when someone gets within the limit, the cow moves, triggering whatever your contraption is.
