Using the console and commands

The console is your live window into the server. It shows everything the server is doing, and it is where you type commands.

The server console

Reading the log

The main panel streams the server log in real time. Follow tail keeps it pinned to the newest line. You can Pause to read back, Search for a word, or Download the whole log if you need to send it to us.

Running a command

The command box

Type into the box at the bottom and press Enter. You do not need the leading slash, though it works either way. A few you will use a lot:

  • list shows who is online.
  • say Hello everyone broadcasts a message in chat.
  • time set day sets it to daytime.
  • weather clear stops the rain.
  • op YourName makes you an operator.

The quick buttons above the input drop common commands in for you.

Commands only run while the server is Running. If the box is greyed out, start the server first.
