Commands
/event for players and /aevent for admins, with 30 admin subcommands.
/event
Player only. Gated by alphaevent.join at the plugin.yml level, so a player without it cannot run /event at all, not even to leave.
| Command | Behavior |
|---|---|
/event | Opens the join menu while an event is joinable or running. Otherwise says no event is running. |
/event join | Joins as a participant during signup, or as a spectator if a round is already running. It joins whatever event is running; there is no event argument. |
/event leave | Removes you from the event (participant or spectator) and restores your state. |
/event vote <1-5> | Rates the build you are looking at in Build Battle. The announcement in chat has clickable buttons. |
Running events /aevent, /ae
Every subcommand requires alphaevent.admin. /aevent on its own opens the event menu for players (categories first, then the events; left-click starts one, right-click shows what it still needs).
| Command | Usage | Description |
|---|---|---|
/aevent start | <event> [arena] | Starts an event. With no arena name a random ready arena is used. Refuses to start while another event runs, the event is disabled, or the arena is missing something (it lists what). |
/aevent stop | Stops the running event with a broadcast and restores everyone. | |
/aevent forcestart | Ends the current join or waiting phase immediately. | |
/aevent skipcountdown | Brings whichever countdown is running (join, waiting or round start) to its last second. | |
/aevent pause / resume | Freezes or unfreezes the countdowns. | |
/aevent nextround | Ends the current round outside the normal flow: restores the arena, revives participants and moves on. Only works during an active or ending round. | |
/aevent reload | Reloads config.yml, events/, lang/ and the arenas. | |
/aevent reset | Emergency hard reset: stops any event and clears all internal state without restoring broken blocks. See FAQ. | |
/aevent menu | Opens the event menu (same as /aevent on its own). |
Arena setup
These edit the selected arena (see Arena setup). Nothing selected means spleef/main.
| Command | Usage | Description |
|---|---|---|
/aevent select | <event> [arena] | Creates the arena if it does not exist and selects it. The arena name defaults to main. |
/aevent arenas | [event] | Lists the arenas of an event and whether each is ready. |
/aevent delarena | <event> <arena> | Deletes an arena that is not currently in use. |
/aevent check | [event] [arena] | Lists what the arena needs, with a tick or a cross and the fixing command. |
/aevent events | Every event, its category and whether it has a ready arena. | |
/aevent setspawn | player only | Sets the lobby point to your position. |
/aevent setexit | player only | Sets where players are sent when the event ends or they leave. |
/aevent region | <key> <region> | Stores a WorldGuard region under a key (lobby, arena, finish, ...). Checks it exists in your world. |
/aevent point | <key> | Stores your position under a key (fight-a, flag-red, ...). |
/aevent addpoint | <list> | Appends your position to a list (spawns, checkpoints, ...) and prints its number. |
/aevent removepoint | <list> <id> | Removes an entry from a list; later entries move down. |
/aevent points | [list] | Shows the points and lists of the arena, or the entries of one list. |
Short forms kept from 2.x: spawnregion <r> = region lobby <r>, arenaregion <r> = region arena <r>, setarena = point center, addspawn = addpoint spawns, removespawn <id> = removepoint spawns <id>, listspawns = points spawns.
Info and debug
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
/aevent info | The running event, its state, round, arena and participant counts. |
/aevent debug | State, round, counts, the arena in use with its regions and list sizes, and how many events are loaded. |
