Chat tutorial
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. 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.
