The MCGalaxy commands a ClassiCube server owner needs most are /setrank [player] [rank] to hand out ranks, /newlvl [name] [width] [height] [length] [theme] to make worlds, /pervisit and /perbuild to lock them down, /kick, /tempban and /xban for trouble, and /zs start (or /ls, /ctf, /tw, /cd) for minigames. Start by running /setrank YourName owner in the server console, then set a verification password with /setpass, because MCGalaxy will not let staff use commands until they verify.

Every command below shows its own help in game with /help [command], and /help alone lists what your rank can use.

First: make yourself owner and verify

In the server console (not in game, since you have no rank yet):

/setrank YourName owner

MCGalaxy's default ranks, lowest to highest:

Rank Default use
Banned Cannot build or chat
Guest New players, can build in the main world
Builder Trusted players, can make their own plot worlds with /os
AdvBuilder Bigger draw commands, can /kick and /tempban
Operator Staff: /setrank, /ban, /mute, /restore
Admin Senior staff, /newlvl and server wide settings
Owner Everything

With admin-verification = true (the default), every Operator and above must set a password the first time:

/setpass yourpassword

and then verify every time they join:

/pass yourpassword

Until they do, MCGalaxy replies You must first verify with /Pass [password] to any command and blocks building. It feels like a chore, but it is what stops someone using a borrowed name from wielding your rank. An Operator can reset a forgotten password with /pass reset [player].

Ranks and permissions

Command What it does
/setrank [player] [rank] <reason> Promote or demote. Works for offline players too
/temprank [player] [rank] [timespan] Rank for a limited time, such as /temprank alex builder 7d
/viewranks [rank] Lists everyone who holds a rank
/rankinfo [player] That player's rank history
/cmdset [cmd] [rank] Changes the lowest rank that can use a command
/vip add [player] Lets that player join even when the server is full
/whitelist add [player] Adds to the whitelist (needs use-whitelist = true)

/cmdset is how you reshape the defaults. If you want Builders to kick griefers, /cmdset kick builder does it. If you think AdvBuilders should not tempban, /cmdset tempban operator. Changes are saved to the properties folder and survive restarts.

Worlds

Command What it does
/newlvl [name] [w] [h] [l] [theme] <seed> Generates a new world
/goto [world] or /g [world] Travel to a world
/main Back to the main world. /main [world] changes which world is main
/load [world] / /unload [world] Load or unload a world from memory
/save / /save all Save the current or all loaded worlds
/restore Lists backups of the current world. /restore [number] rolls it back
/deletelvl [world] Deletes a world
/physics [world] [0-5] Sets physics. 0 is off, higher levels run water, lava and special blocks
/map [world] [option] Per world options like /map build -fly to block flying

A typical build world:

/newlvl build 256 64 256 flat
/goto build

Sizes can be anything from 1 to 16384 on each side, but every block costs memory. A 256 by 64 by 256 world is a comfortable freebuild size. /help newlvl themes lists every terrain generator, from flat and empty to natural terrain.

Leave physics at 0 on freebuild worlds. A griefer with active water on physics 2 can flood a map in a minute, and /physics kill stops physics everywhere if it happens.

Who can visit and build

Command What it does
/pervisit [world] [rank] Lowest rank that can enter
/perbuild [world] [rank] Lowest rank that can build
/perbuild [world] +[name] Lets one player build regardless of rank
/perbuild [world] -[name] Blocks one player from building

Lock the spawn so new guests cannot wreck it, while still letting them build in a guest world:

/perbuild main operator
/newlvl guestbuild 128 64 128 flat
/perbuild guestbuild guest

Personal plots with /os

Builders and up can make their own worlds with the Overseer command, /os, without staff help:

Command What it does
/os add Creates a flat 128 cubed world named after the player
/os add [theme] Same, with a terrain theme
/os go Go to your own world
/os allow [player] Lets a friend build in it
/os pervisit [rank] Who can visit your world
/os kick [player] Kick someone out of your world

How many /os worlds each player can own is set per rank. By default Builders get 3, AdvBuilders 5, Operators 8, and Admins and Owners far more. It is a good way to reward regulars without giving them staff powers.

Moderation

Command Default rank What it does
/kick [player] <reason> AdvBuilder Removes them from the server
/warn [player] <reason> AdvBuilder Warning. Three warnings kick the player
/mute [player] <timespan> Operator Stops them chatting
/freeze [player] [timespan] Operator Stops them moving
/tempban [player] [timespan] <reason> AdvBuilder Ban for a set time, like 1d or 12h
/ban [player] <reason> Operator Permanent ban by name
/xban [player] <reason> Operator Bans the name and IP, undoes their blocks and kicks them, in one go
/undoplayer [player] <timespan> Operator Reverts a player's block changes
/unban [player] Operator Lifts a ban

For a griefer caught in the act, /xban name griefing is the one to remember: it bans, IP bans, undoes their changes and removes them in one command.

Minigames

MCGalaxy ships five round based games. Each command takes the same subcommands:

Game Command
Zombie Survival /zs
Lava Survival /ls
Capture the Flag /ctf
TNT Wars /tw
Countdown /cd
/goto zsmap1
/zs add
/zs start

add puts the world you are standing in into that game's map list, start begins rounds, end finishes the current round, stop ends the game, go sends a player to the running game, and set configures it. Build or import a few maps per game before starting so the rotation does not repeat the same arena.

Running these on a hosted server

On a GamezServers ClassiCube server you type console commands such as the first /setrank into the live console in the panel, with no remote desktop or SSH. Worlds in levels, rank files and server.properties are in the file manager, so you can back up before a big /restore or /deletelvl, and a one click backup covers everything. If you are still setting up, start with how to host a ClassiCube server, and if the server is missing from classicube.net, see ClassiCube server not showing on the server list.

FAQ

How do I make myself admin on a ClassiCube server?

Run /setrank YourName owner in the server console, then join and set a password with /setpass. After that, type /pass yourpassword each time you join.

Why does MCGalaxy say I must verify with /pass?

admin-verification is on, so Operator and above must verify each session. Set a password once with /setpass, then use /pass on each join.

How do I stop guests from building at spawn?

Use /perbuild main builder (or a higher rank). Guests can still visit, but only that rank and above can place blocks.

How do I roll back griefing?

/undoplayer [player] reverts one player's changes, and /restore rolls a whole world back to a saved backup.
