Minecraft Flying Command - How to fly in Minecraft

There is no direct command in Minecraft that will make you fly. You can change the mode of the game using the "/gamemode creative" command, and this will allow you to press jump twice to get you up in the air. If you want to fly even faster (on PC), you can go into Spectator mode. This requires you to press "F3 + N" at once and gives you the ability to fly around freely and go through walls. You can scroll your mouse wheel up or down to increase or decrease the speed. This is the fastest way to get around other than using the teleport command.
