The */scoreboard teams* command is used to create Minecraft **player teams**. Like the ones, you can find on servers or other videos games (*E.G.: red team and blue team*).

In player teams, you can change whether players within the team can fight or not, see each others' name tags and change their usernames' colors. Which is also one way how some servers have colored name tags. Although most don't. But that is for another article.

To create a team, type:

```
/scoreboard teams create <NAME>

```

*<NAME>* = the name of the team you are creating. For this tutorial, I would recommend using the name *redTeam* or *blueTeam*.

## **Once You Create the Team...**

...you need to add some players. Use the command:

```
/scoreboard teams join redTeam <PLAYER USERNAME>

```

*<PLAYER USERNAME>* = the username or IGN (*in-game name*) of the or a player that you are adding to the team. *E.G.: Notch*.  If you are using a command block or console to target a player, it is recommended

Now, you can use the command

```
/scoreboard teams list redTeam

```

to see all of the players that are in the *redTeam*.

**NOTE:** Be sure to spell the team names when adding / changing teams or adding players to teams to keep them the exact same. If you spell it one way the first time but spell it differently the second time, it will not work. **CaSe SeNsItIvE!!**

## **color**

Use the command:

```
/scoreboard teams option redTeam color red

```

Now, everyone that is in the *redTeam* will have their username red.

**NOTE:** There are a lot more colors that you are able to use.  Click [Teams Color List|here] to view the entire list.

## **collisionRule**

Use the command:

```
/scoreboard teams option redTeam collisionRule <true/false>

```

If it is set to *true*, then players in the *redTeam* will bump into each other like normal.

If it is set to *false*, then that means all players that are in the *redTeam* don't bump into each other.

## **deathMessageVisibility**

Use the command:

```
/scoreboard teams option redTeam deathMessageVisibility <true/false>

```

If set to *true*, players in the *redTeam* will see death messages (*E.G.: Notch was burnt to a crisp*).

If set to *false*, players in the *redTeam* will no longer see death messages.

## **friendlyfire**

Use the command:

```
/scoreboard teams option redTeam friendlyfire <true/fase>

```

If set to ''true'', players in the ''redTeam'' will be able to hurt teammates.

If set to ''false'', players in the ''redTeam'' will no longer be able to hurt teammates.

## **nametagVisibility**

Use the command:

```
/scoreboard teams option redTeam nametagVisibility <true/fase>

```

If set to *true*, players in the *redTeam* will be able to see teammates' usernames.

If set to *false*, players in the *redTeam* will be able to see teammates' usernames.

## **seeFriendlyInvisibles**

Use the command:

```
/scoreboard teams option redTeam seeFriendlyInvisibles <true/faslse>

```

If set to *true,* players in the *redTeam* will appear a little transparent to other teammates, and teammates only.

If set to *false,* players in the *redTeam* will no longer appear a little transparent to other teammates.
