Player Commands
These commands are usable via the chat window by any player who is allowed to connect to the server.
- /tell playername message - Sends a message that only playername sees. It will appear in the chat window in grey in the form of "yourname whispers message".
- /me actiontext - Similar to the /emote or /action commands in IRC clients, the /me command sends a narrative message to the other players in the form of "* Yourname actiontext" (e.g., "* Yourname flips a table.").
- /kill - Inflicts 1000 damage points (500 hearts is utterly unsurvivable even when wearing a full set of diamond armor) to the user, killing them and returning them to their spawn point. Useful when lost or stuck.
Operator-only commands
These commands are usable by ops both from the server console as well as through the chat window when prefixed by the command character (forward slash, i.e., "/help" instead of "help"). Optional arguments appear in [square brackets].
Note that players do not normally see op commands being entered, but they are broadcast to the other ops on the server at the time.
- help - Shows a list of available server commands.
- ? - An alias for the help command.
- list - Shows the names of all currently-connected players
- give playername data-value [number] - Spawns number (defaults to 1) of the item defined by data-value at playername 's location.
- tp playername targetplayer - Teleports player playername to targetplayer 's location
- say freetext - Broadcasts freetext to all players on the server (in bright pink letters!)
- time set|add number - Set or increment (add to) the world time. number is an integer between 0 and 24000, inclusive, where 0 is dawn, 6000 midday, 12000 dusk and 18000 midnight (i.e. the clock is bisected; left side is night, right side is day).
- gamemode playername 0|1 - Changes the game mode for playername to Survival (0) mode or Creative (1) mode. Remember, this will only affect playername and no one else--it may confuse others.
- op playername - Grants playername operator status on the server.
- deop playername - Removes operator status from playername.

- pardon-ip ip-address - Removes ip-address from the IP blacklist, allowing players from that IP address to connect to the server.

- whitelist add|remove playername - Adds or removes playername from the whitelist.
- whitelist list - Displays the complete list of players who are in the whitelist.
- whitelist reload - Reloads the list of playernames in white-list.txt from disk.
