ROOTFinding commands
| Command | What it does | Status |
|---|---|---|
/help [page] or /cmds [page] | Lists the RootMC commands you can use, 8 per page, with their syntax | Confirmed |
/rules | Shows the server rules | Confirmed |
/motd | Shows the welcome message | Untested |
/help only lists commands you have access to, so it's the quickest way to check what's switched on for you. The footer tells you the next page number. Tab completion suggests the options each command takes.
Player information
| Command | What it does | Status |
|---|---|---|
/list | How many players are online and their names | Confirmed |
/seen <player> | Whether a player is online, or when they were last seen (in HST) and how long ago | Confirmed |
/near [distance] | Other players in your world within distance blocks (default 100, up to 256). Names only, never coordinates. It leaves out you and anyone you ignore | Untested |
/compass | Which way you're facing, as a word (for example north-east) | Confirmed |
/ping or /latency | Your connection latency in milliseconds, plus how the server is keeping up: TPS (20 is full speed) and milliseconds per tick (under 50 is fine) | Confirmed |
/getpos | Your world and block coordinates | Untested |
/depth | Your Y level | Untested |
/clock | The Minecraft day and time, the next dawn, server uptime and server time. See Root-Times. | Confirmed |
Players hidden by staff vanish don't show up in /list, /near or tab completion.
Chunk survey: /survey
Confirmed /survey is free and describes the chunk you're standing in:
- The world, the chunk's coordinates and its block bounds.
- The biome where you're standing, and the surface height at the chunk's centre.
- Sky light and block light where you're standing.
- How long players have spent in the chunk in total (Minecraft's inhabited time).
- Whether it's a slime chunk.
It reads only the chunk you're in and never shows the world seed. The old servers charged 25 gp for a survey; on RootMC it's free.
Ender Chest from anywhere
Confirmed /ec, /enderchest and /echest all open your own Ender Chest, wherever you are. It's the same Ender Chest you'd open by placing one, with the same contents, and the owner confirmed the contents are kept across a reconnect. Opening another player's Ender Chest is refused for players (QA X2); staff can view one with /enderchest <player> or /echest <player>.
Guides
/potionsis a brewing guide, and/recipe <item>lists crafting recipes. See Guides and cosmetics.
