Commands and Permissions

Avvertimento

These docs have not been fully updated to SpongeAPI 8 and may be out of date. If you feel like you can help update them, please submit a PR!

Commands are one method in which server operators can administer their server, and in which players can interact with the server.

In Sponge, commands follow a system of Permessi. Permissions allow server operators to control who can access what commands. By default, all commands are granted to players with OP status. Players without operator status do not have access to administrative commands or commands that require an assigned permission node. A server operator can fine-tune who can access what commands by adding/negating permission nodes through a permissions plugin.

Nota

Sponge is not a permissions-management plugin. To add and negate permissions for individual players or groups, you will need to find a permissions-management plugin.

Operator Commands

These commands, in addition to regular player commands, are available to server operators.

Sponge

The following commands are available to players with operator status (or the correct permission node) on servers powered by Sponge.

Sponge Command Parameters

  • /sponge chunks [-g] [-d dim] [-w world]

  • /sponge config [-g] [-d dim] [-w world] key value

  • /sponge save [-g] [-d dim|*] [-w world|*]

  • /sponge reload [-g] [-d dim|*] [-w world|*]

Command Conflicts

In cases of command conflict, Sponge provides a primary alias mechanism to specify which command is to be used. For example, Minecraft provides the reload command and Sponge provides the reload command. To specify which command to use, prefix it with minecraft or sponge and a :. So, to use Sponge’s reload command above, type in /sponge:reload. This approach can also be used to handle conflicts between mods and/or plugins. Do the same thing, just use the mod-id or the plugin-id and a :. An example is /examplemodid:tp.

Furthermore, the primary alias mechanism can be used to overcome incompatibilities. Let’s say a plugin registers a command, but the command is incompatible with your mod. If you can configure your mod to use a Minecraft native command or another plugin’s command, you can restore the expected behavior or prevent unexpected behaviors.

Nota

The /sponge audit command forces loading of any classes which have not yet been loaded, allowing the full output from all mixin debugging environment variables to be captured. This also requires the mixins.checks variable, see the Mixin wiki for more information.

Suggerimento

Here are a few simple examples of the sponge config command in action. Note that at least one target flag must be specified. Please see Configurazione di Sponge for a more detailed explanation.

  1. /sponge config -d minecraft:nether logging.chunk-load true

Since a dimension type was specified, this would alter the nether dimension config (and hence all nether worlds).

  1. /sponge config -w DIM1 logging.chunk-load true

This would alter the config of world named DIM1.

Sponge provides two permissions for debugging purposes:

  • Allow using Sponge’s block and entity tracking message channel: sponge.debug.block-tracking This message channel is used by the client (if the SpongeForge mod is installed) to display the block and entity owner and notifier in the debug view.

  • Allow hovering of command execution errors to get the stacktrace: sponge.debug.hover-stacktrace

Forge

The following commands are available only when using the SpongeForge coremod on Forge. Other implementations of the SpongeAPI, such as SpongeVanilla, do not include these commands.

Command

Descrizione

Permission

/forge tps

Display ticks per second for each world.

forge.command.forge

/forge track

Enable tile entity tracking.

forge.command.forge


For any Forge mods that use the vanilla command API, command permissions are provided in the form <modid>.command.<commandname>.

Vanilla

There are several commands built-in to vanilla Minecraft that are also available on servers powered by Sponge. The list below is not comprehensive, but it includes the most commonly used commands. These commands are available to players with operator status (or the correct permission node). In general, permissions for vanilla Minecraft commands on a Sponge server are of the structure minecraft.command.<command>, as shown below.

Command

Sponge also creates permissions for these Minecraft features:

  • Allow player to use the entity-selector in commands: minecraft.selector

  • Allow player to bypass spawn-protection in all worlds: minecraft.spawn-protection.override

  • Allow player to bypass force-gamemode in all worlds: minecraft.force-gamemode.override

  • Allow editing an ordinary commandblock of the given name: minecraft.commandblock.edit.block.<name>

  • Allow editing a minecart commandblock of the given name: minecraft.commandblock.edit.minecart.<name>

Nota

These permissions use the actual name of the commandblock, which is normally @ by default.

There are also extra permissions managing the access to the server:

  • Treat the user as whitelisted: minecraft.login.bypass-whitelist

  • Allow this user to bypass the server’s player limit: minecraft.login.bypass-player-limit

Nota

Sponge offers improved multi-world support, such as per-world world borders. By default, Sponge only changes the world border (or other world options) of the world the player is currently in. The vanilla behavior of setting it for all worlds can be restored using the global configuration and setting sponge.commands.multi-world-patches.worldborder (or the corresponding entry) to false. See global.conf for details. Sponge assumes that multi-world plugins also provide optimized configuration commands for those options and thus does not provide its own variants.

Player Commands

The following commands are available as part of vanilla Minecraft to players without operator status.

Command

/help

minecraft.command.help

/me

minecraft.command.me

/say

minecraft.command.say

A full list of vanilla commands can be found at: https://minecraft.wiki/w/Commands#List_and_summary_of_commands. Permissions for vanilla Minecraft commands on a Sponge server are of the structure minecraft.command.<command>.

Command Features

Sponge and most Sponge plugins support additional command features such as auto completion and hoverable text. The image below shows the output using the /sponge plugins command (yellow box). The elements in that list can be hovered over to get addition information such as the current version number (red box). Some elements in the example below also have additional actions bound to them. For example, the plugin entries in that list can be clicked to show more detailed information (purple box) about that plugin. This is equivalent to sending the /sponge plugins <pluginId> command. The auto completion can be triggered by pressing tab. Entering /sponge plugins  (with a trailing space) and then pressing tab will show a list of possible values (turquoise box) that can be used in that context. Pressing tab again will iterate the possibilities, if any. Theoretically it is possible to write most commands by pressing only tab and space (and maybe the first letter of each segment).
