TL;DR
Read whole text to learn tricks that will save your time in the future.
- @playername private message text
- $ whisper text (<32 blocks away)
- /create_channel local_communication
- /join_channel local_communication
- #local_communication message text
- #local_communication without any text to write all further messages to the channel by default.
- /mail for offline communication.
PM
Private messages can be sent by prefixing your message with @ playername. Or just @ if you want to address previous recipient. Message prefixes require space after them. If the recipient has a long name you can use /msg command which has auto completion:
/msg LongPlayerName message
Private messages cause an audible sound at recipients end, so once you have their attention, please use whisper.
Whisper
Prefix with $ if you want to talk only to people around you (< 32 blocks).
Channels
Usually channel names are prefixed with a # but not in commands to join, leave or create. Avoid creating channels with space in their names. To join a channel and listen to the chat there type:
/jc channelname
To speak on a channel you can either:
- Type #channelname message to speak once in the channel
- Type #channelname and press enter to make channel your default target: all further messages go to that channel until you switch it again.
If you want to speak in some other language join or create a channel named by ISO 639-1 language code. To leave a channel use lc command: /lc channelname
"main" is the default channel. Type "#main" to switch back to it.
If a player is offline use /mail. This command will open a mail UI. Next time target player will login there will be a notification in the center of the screen until the player reads the message.
