Keys and commands

Common default keys

Several actions share a key by context. For example, Space's float action applies while swimming or levitating; the Controls screen is the authority for the context and your active binding.

Other shipped actions

Sneak (held, without crouching), TravelView, WalkMode and DebugOverlay ship unbound. C remains the default Crouch action, which also sneaks. TravelView is the separate Overworld view; V is TravelMap. A controller has separate mappings. You can rebind any supported action in Controls; do not assume a key described in an older guide is free.

Chat channels

Use a slash command or the chat tabs to select a channel:

Trade and LFG are opt-in channels: /join trade or /join lfg adds the tab, /leave removes it, and saying something on one joins it. Local chat is nearby in-character speech; /ooc sends a nearby out-of-character line. /lang [code|off] joins or leaves a language channel.

Useful commands

• /help lists commands. /lang lists language channels, and /emotes lists available gestures.

• /roll or /dice makes a dice roll; /me describes an action, /rp sends a roleplay line, and /wave, /bow and /nod are gesture commands.

• /ready explains party resting online; /leader travels to your party leader; /travel gets you ready for the leader's journey (the leader uses it to call the journey off). /mentor shows whether you are mentoring your party; mentoring switches on by itself.

• /mail or /mailbox opens mail. /find or /who finds players; /search [name] searches a name.

• /unstuck leaves by the door you came in, or outdoors takes you to the nearest town; /unstuck cancel stops it.

• /block, /unblock and /blocked manage your block list. /report <name> [category][: note] reports player conduct; /rules shows the Code of Conduct.

• /bug opens a private report form. It is different from /report.

• /breach opens Elite Breach commands; /breach help prints their help.

Unknown slash commands are refused rather than broadcast as ordinary chat; start a line with // to send text that begins with a slash. /event is a developer's live-event command, not a player utility.

Common mistakes

• Treating an old guide's suggested rebind key as unassigned can collide with a shipped mod action; check your live Controls list first.

• Sending a slash typo as chat will not broadcast it as text.

• Mixing up /bug and /report sends a private issue report when you meant to report a player, or vice versa.
