This spell creates an Invisible, mindless, shapeless, Medium force that performs simple tasks at your command until the spell ends. The servant springs into existence in an unoccupied space on the ground within range. It has AC 10, 1 Hit Point, and a Strength of 2, and it can't attack. If it drops to 0 Hit Points, the spell ends.

Once on each of your turns as a Bonus Action, you can mentally command the servant to move up to 15 feet and interact with an object. The servant can perform simple tasks that a human could do, such as fetching things, cleaning, mending, folding clothes, lighting fires, serving food, and pouring drinks. Once you give the command, the servant performs the task to the best of its ability until it completes the task, then waits for your next command.

If you command the servant to perform a task that would move it more than 60 feet away from you, the spell ends.

Unseen Servant 5e 2024 vs. 2014 edition differences

The 2024 version allows casting as an action or ritual, whereas the 2014 version only as an action. The 2024 version specifies "Bonus Action" for commands, while the 2014 version states "as a bonus action." The 2024 version changes "pouring wine" to "pouring drinks," and the description wording is slightly updated; otherwise, mechanics are the same.
