-Changing the commands or breaking the command block is only possible in Creative Mode. Directly after placing, a command block does not have any commands and does nothing. Rightclick the command block (in Creative Mode!) to edit its commands. Refer to the help entry about server commands to understand how they work. Each line contains a single command, the commands will be executed from top to bottom. The commands DO NOT require a leading slash.
+To place a command block and change the commands, you need to be in Creative Mode and must have the “maphack” privilege. A new command block does not have any commands and does nothing. Rightclick the command block (in Creative Mode!) to edit its commands. Read the help entry “Advanced topics > Server Commands” to understand how they work. Each line contains a single command. You enter them like you would in the console, but without the leading slash. The commands will be executed from top to bottom.
 
 You can optionally use the following placeholders in your commands:
 • “@nearest” is replaced by the name of the player nearest to the command block
 • “@farthest” is replaced by the name of the player farthest away from the command block
-• “@random” is replaced by the name of a random player currently connected]],
+• “@random” is replaced by the name of a random player currently connected
+
+Example 1:
+    time 12000
+
+Sets the game clock to 12:00
+
+Example 2:
+    give @nearest mcl_core:apple 5
+
+→ Gives the nearest player 5 apples]],
