Server commands
Server commands are typed in chat. Press Enter to open the chat
input, type a message starting with /, and press Enter again to
send. Anything that doesn't begin with / is a normal chat
message visible to other players.
If you type a command that doesn't exist (or get the arguments
wrong) the server replies in your chat with an [system] line —
no harm done.
Available commands
/nick <name> — set your display name
Aliases: /nick, /name.
Sets the name that appears above your character to other players.
Names are limited in length and can't be empty. Setting a name
doesn't interrupt whatever you're doing — you can /nick mid-fight
without dropping your attack.
/nick Elsy
/avatar <name|variant> — change appearance
Picks an appearance variant for your character sprite. The
argument is either an avatar name or a 0-indexed integer. Names
are the friendly form; integers are accepted for convenience.
Current names: catgirl, nomad, merchant, tinkerer,
beastkin, herbalist. If you ask for a name or index that
doesn't exist, the server says so.
/avatar nomad
/avatar 1
/spawn <name> — drop a creature or item near you
Spawns a single creature or ground item on a free tile within 6 tiles of your position. Useful for testing builds, demos, or seeing how the AI reacts to specific creatures.
A few categories are blocked: you can't /spawn another player,
an NPC, a tree, or a placeable (those have to be crafted and
placed normally).
/spawn wolf
/spawn iron
/spawn raw meat
Names are matched against the blueprint's display name, case-insensitive.
/time <preset|HH|HH:MM> — set the world clock
Jumps the in-world time to whatever you ask for. Affects every player on the server.
Presets:
| Preset | Time |
|---|---|
day, noon | 12:00 |
night, midnight | 0:00 |
dawn, sunrise | 5:00 |
twilight, dusk, sunset | 19:00 |
You can also pass an hour (/time 14) or HH:MM (/time 18:30).
/time night
/time 6:00
