Commands

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 permissions. 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.

Note

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.
