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
  • /jc 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 /tell command which has autocompletion: /tell LongPlayerName message

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.

Mail

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.
