Commands

All commands require the `worldrules.admin` permission (default: OP).

Chat

| Command | Effect | |---|---| | `/worldrules chat <true|false>` | Enable or disable chat globally | | `/worldrules chat <true|false> <player>` | Override chat for a specific player | | `/worldrules chat bypass <player> <true|false>` | Grant chat immunity (always allowed) |

Interact

| Command | Effect | |---|---| | `/worldrules interact <true|false>` | Toggle ALL interactions globally (shorthand for `all`) | | `/worldrules interact all <true|false>` | Same as above, explicit form | | `/worldrules interact <category> <true|false>` | Toggle one category globally | | `/worldrules interact <all|category> <true|false> <player>` | Per-player override | | `/worldrules interact bypass <player> <true|false>` | Grant interaction immunity |

Misc

| Command | Effect | |---|---| | `/worldrules reload` | Reload the config file | | `/wr` | Alias for `/worldrules` |

Interaction Categories

| Category | Blocks | |---|---| | `place_blocks` | Placing any block, hanging items, dumping liquid buckets | | `break_blocks` | Breaking any block | | `open_doors` | Doors, trapdoors, fence gates, levers, buttons, pressure plates, chests, furnaces, anvils, crafting tables, vaults, crafters, and every other openable/utility block | | `eat` | Food, milk buckets, regular potions | | `use_bow` | Bows and crossbows | | `use_projectiles` | Snowballs, ender pearls, splash potions, eggs, wind charges, fishing rods | | `all` | Everything above + entity interactions (milking, mounting, item frames, armor stands) |

How it Works

Priority order

1. Global `true` clears overrides. A bypassing player ignores all rules. 2. Global `true` clears overrides. Set someone's chat or interaction independently. 3. Global `true` clears overrides. Running `/worldrules interact true` (or `chat true`) wipes per-player rules so everyone returns to the global default.
