Commands

Commands are a mechanic in Tradelands that allows players to take various gameplay actions through typing text in the chat box.

Regular commands are typed into the chat, starting with the slash (/) character. Many commands require additional arguments (words) to work properly.

Tradelands staff and private server owners have access to a much wider range of commands to assist in development and moderation. These are typed into a command bar instead and are not listed on this page.

Essential commands (trade and invite) may also be done by clicking on a player directly.

Player names may also be shortened, ie. typing "/trade nahr" would still invite Nahr_Nahrstein so long as there's no other player in the server who's username begins with "nahr".
