Commands & Permissions

Commands

/chatty reload

Reloads all configuration files (config.yml, formats.yml, channels.yml, rules.yml, messages.yml) and re-registers channel shortcut commands.

Permission: chatty.command.reload

---

/channel join <channel_id>

Joins a channel or switches to it if you're already in a different channel. Tab completion suggests channels you have permission to join.

Permission: chatty.command.channel.joinArguments: channel_id — the channel's ID as defined in channels.yml

---

/channel leave

Leaves your current channel, returning you to global chat.

Permission: chatty.command.channel.leave

---

/channel spy <channel_id>

Toggles spying on a specific channel. When spying, you can see messages sent in that channel without being a member. Tab completion suggests channels you have permission to spy on.

Permission: chatty.command.channel.spyArguments: channel_id — the channel to spy on

---

/channel spyall

Toggles spying on all channels you have permission to spy on.

Permission: chatty.command.channel.spy

Auto-spy on join: Players automatically begin spying on every channel they have chatty.spy.channel.<channel_id> permission for when they join the server. This mirrors the effect of /channel spyall and does not require players to opt in manually.

---

Shortcut Commands

Each channel can define shortcut commands in channels.yml. These let you send a message directly to a channel without joining it.

Example: If staff_chat has shortcut_commands: ["sc", "staffchat"], then:

• /sc hello sends "hello" to the staff chat
• /staffchat hello sends "hello" to the staff chat

Permission: chatty.channel.<channel_id>
