Voting: /vote

Off by default /vote lists the sites you can vote for RootMC on, how many times you've voted and when you last voted. Until staff open voting it says Voting for RootMC isn't open yet.

When voting is open:

  • Vote sites send each vote to the server, and it's recorded against your name. A vote that's sent twice is only counted once.
  • If you're online, you get a thank-you message.
  • There are no vote rewards yet. Votes are counted, and rewards will be decided later. Rewards can't be switched on until they're decided and built.

Announcements: /announcer

Off by default When staff switch announcements on, the server shows a rotating list of up to 20 short messages, one at a time, every few minutes (5 minutes by default), only while players are online.

The world border

Confirmed Staff manage the world border with a tool that always does a dry run first:

  1. /border [world] shows the border's centre, radius, warning distance and damage, and how many claim areas lie outside it.
  2. /border set <world> <radius> is a dry run. It shows the change and how many claim areas and online players would end up outside.
  3. /border set <world> <radius> confirm within 60 seconds applies it. It's refused if any online player would end up outside, and the change is recorded in the audit log.

The radius must be at least 500 blocks.
