How commands work

Warring Nations registers every command as its own top-level root (/nation, /war, /claim, and so on). There is no single /wn mega-command by default. If a server operator enables the commandNamespacePrefixEnabled config option, every root on this page becomes reachable only as /wn <root> ... (e.g. /wn nation create, /wn war declare) - a single global toggle applied uniformly to all roots, not a special admin-only grouping. This page writes every command without the optional prefix; mentally prepend wn to all of them if your server has the toggle on. See configuration reference for that and related config keys.

Where a command checks both, the server permission gates whether the command may be attempted at all, and the nation permission then gates whether the acting player's in-nation role allows it.

/nation

Bare /nation shows your nation's info (or help, if you're in none). This is the largest command root: everything from founding and membership to roles, regions, treasury, and diplomacy.

Player commands

/nation capital, only if the capital feature is enabled

Admin commands (attach onto the same /nation root)

nation list and nation info are not duplicated by the admin file - the player-facing versions above are already console-safe.

Examples

/nation create Ironhold
/nation invite Steve
/nation accept Ironhold
/nation role create Officer
/nation role assign Steve Officer 60
/nation ally request Ashenreach

/bloc

Multi-nation alliance blocs.

/bounty, only if the bounty feature is enabled

Post and claim bounties on players.

/claim and /unclaim

Bare /claim claims the chunk you're standing in; bare /unclaim unclaims the chunk you're standing in.

Examples

/claim
/claim grant Steve
/claim grants
/claim grants all
/unclaim

Admin commands

Protection and force-loading

Four one-liner roots: /protect, /unprotect, /forceload, and /unforceload all act on the chunk you're currently standing in.

/pvp

Personal and nation-wide PvP opt-out controls.

Staff chat

/helpop pages online staff and only registers if SEF's own /helpop is not installed. /adminchat broadcasts to staff and only registers if SEF integration is not installed.

/village, only if the village feature is enabled

A village is a settlement tier independent of nations - its own root, not under /nation.

/rebellion, only if the rebellion feature is enabled

Internal nation rebellions get their own root so a rebelling member isn't forced through their own nation's command namespace.

/war

Declaring, fighting, negotiating, and ending wars. Many of these gameplay gates interact directly with a nation's chosen war preset.

Admin commands

war end is the one player-facing-shaped leaf gated directly by a server permission (ADMIN_WAR) rather than a nation permission - registered inline in the main command file, not merged from the admin file.

Examples

/war declare Ashenreach
/war declare confirm
/war status
/war propose-peace Ashenreach
/war bet Ironhold Ashenreach 500

/gov

The government-framework subtree: entities, memberships, proposals/votes, and procedure hooks. The id argument used throughout is a government-entity id (UUID), tab-suggested from the caller's own nation's entities.

Admin commands

/preset

Mixed-audience root: the root itself is open to everyone, read/browse leaves are unrestricted, applying to your own nation needs the PRESET_APPLY server permission, and library management or force-applying to other nations needs ADMIN_PRESETS.

Standalone admin-only commands

None of these have a player-facing counterpart - each is its own bare root registered by the admin command file. All still respect the global /wn prefix toggle described above.

/banner

/inactive and /purgeinactive

/diplomacy, /player, /stats, /features

/config and /reload

Config keys these commands touch are documented in full at Configuration: Core.

/season

/koth, only if the koth feature is enabled
