Custom Commands

Creating Custom Commands

Allows you to register and handle custom commands in scripts

---

Method

addCommand(commandName: String, commandHandler: Object, permission?: String)

Parameters:

• commandName (String) The name of the command (without /)

• commandHandler (Object) Contains methods like onCommand and optionally onTabComplete

• permission (optional) (String) The permission string required to execute or tab-complete this command. If there is no permission given, the command is available to all players (and ops by default)

---

commandHandler Methods

• onCommand(sender, args) (required) Called when the command is executed.

  • sender: The player or console who executed the command.

  • args: A Java array of arguments.

• onTabComplete(sender, args) (optional) Called to provide tab-completion suggestions. Must return a Java List.

---

Example Without Permissions

addCommand("hello", {
    onCommand: function(sender, args) {
        args = toArray(args); // Convert Java array to JS array
        sender.sendMessage("Hello, " + sender.getName() + "!");
    },
    onTabComplete: function(sender, args) {
        args = toArray(args);
        if (args.length === 1) {
            return toJavaList(["world", "everyone"]);
        }
        return toJavaList([]);
    }
});

---

Example With Permissions

addCommand("adminhello", {
    onCommand: function(sender, args) {
        sender.sendMessage("Hello from the admin command!");
    },
    onTabComplete: function(sender, args) {
        return toJavaList(["secret", "adminzone"]);
    }
}, "openjs.command.adminhello"); // <-- Optional permission

🛡️ Players without openjs.command.adminhello will not see the command in suggestions or tab-complete. Ops do have all permission by default, unless restricted by permission plugins.

---

Notes

• You can manage permissions via /lp editor in LuckPerms or other permission systems
• Permissions must be valid strings (e.g., pluginname.command.commandname)

• If onTabComplete is missing, tab completion is disabled for this command
