Old commands that are gone
Some commands from the old RootMC servers are not coming back, so the server answers "Unknown or incomplete command": the betting games (/gamble, /roulette, /hilo, /lotto, /coin, /dice), /torch, /ask, /blueprint, /explore and /questionnaire. /contract, /ptime, /more, /anvil and /jump are on hold. Vanilla commands such as /time, /tp, /give and /clear stay vanilla; clear your own inventory with /clearinventory or /ci. There's no /afk (AFK is automatic) and no /kill alias for /suicide. See Server systems.
