Minecraft Command Console is a simple way to run basic commands on the console of the game and preform other basic tasks not available to a user with standard FTP access. It is a simple script that runs every minute. This guide is designed to teach you how to utilize this tool to your benefit.

Contents

Configuration

Minecraft command console is disabled by default. If you would like to use this exciting new feature, you will need to configure it.

Simply open the file: console.cfg

Add your email after email= :

  • Example
email=myemail@host.com

Properly Using the Command Console

The script will take each of your commands one by one (line by line) and run them. It is very important to use the proper syntax for commands, or they will not run properly. Once the commands run, the command list will automatically clear itself out.

  • Refer back to this document for information regarding the command console.

Command Syntax

We are going to use a string of commands for an example here. I want to use several commands before I turn off my server to make sure it was properly saved. I could also do an emergency backup in case I want to download a quick world file.

To do this, you would simply open the commands.txt file in the root directory ( / ) of ftp. If you do not see a commands.txt, simply create one and upload it (it should be there already). When you have commands.txt open, simply add each command you want to run line by line. Here is an example of an emergency backup and server shutdown (this is useful for updating minecraft).

Here is how you do it:

save-all
emergency-backup
stop

These three commands will be taken and interpreted by the command console script one by one. A report of the commands will be emailed to you.

Available Commands

Development commands may be shown here, but not available to your version. (Development commands will be featured here so you can prepare to use them) If you would like to see your current version, run the "about" command.

Script version 0.1

about
  • Displays information about the script
reload
  • This will reload Hey0's mod.

This is useful for installing new plugins or reloading a whitelist.

emergency-backup
  • This will run the backup script on demand.
stop
  • This command will stop the server.

If you are concerned about hard stopping your server via the game panel, run this first

save-all
  • This will save the current world file completely.
save-off
  • This will turn off world saving.

Make sure you turn it back on if you want to continue saving your world progress!

save-on
  • This will turn on world saving.

Script version 0.15

Changelog:

Added new function
Fixed a few typos
update
  • Saves, stops, and downloads a new minecraft_server.jar file

This does not automatically restart your server yet. You will have to do this by hand.

  • This is still in development.

More information on this coming.

install-plugin
  • This will install a plugin for Hey0's mod.

This will install a plugin from a list. In major development.
