Commands
All player commands, organized by category. The reference page when you forget the syntax.
This section is the command reference — every command organized by category. Use it when you forget the syntax or want to discover what's available.
For learning commands by use case, the gameplay sections are better entry points (e.g., Storage explains when to use each storage command). The commands section is the dictionary, not the textbook.
What this section covers
- Everyday — the basics:
/rules,/balance,/help - Storage —
/backpack,/unload,/chestlink,/aclist - Economy —
/balance,/pay,/trade,/loan,/baltop - Social & info —
/msg,/r,/list,/seen - Land & travel —
/ward,/caravan,/elevator - Brewing — why the tavern is deliberately command-free
- Shortcuts — every alias for every command
A note on travel
Travel is mostly in-world — Astral runes, ender pearls, Nether portals. The one exception is the /elevator helper, listed under Land & travel; the ride itself is still redstone. For the full picture, see Travel.
Quick fundamentals
A few commands you'll use constantly:
/help/balance/list/msg <player> <text>playertext
/msg Mothra are you online?If in doubt, /help shows you everything available, and this wiki has the detailed pages.
Permissions
Most commands are available to all players from day one. The exceptions:
- Painting/terraforming brush tools — staff only
- Moderation tools — staff only
If you try a command you don't have permission for, you'll see a "you don't have permission" message. No rank ladder is active — nothing is rank-gated.
Aliases
Most commands have short aliases:
/balance=/bal=/money/backpack=/bp/enderchest=/ec/list=/who/message=/msg=/tell=/w
The shortcuts page Shortcuts lists every alias.
Bedrock-specific notes
Bedrock players type commands the same way Java players do. Press T (or tap chat icon) to open chat, type /<command>, send.
Some commands open chest-style GUIs (like the trade window). On Bedrock, these render as native Bedrock GUIs. Same content, different render.
