Best Practices

  • Test Commands: Always test commands on a test server first
  • Use Variables: Utilize %player% and other variables for dynamic actions
  • Error Handling: Consider what happens if a command fails
  • Performance: Avoid commands that could lag the server
  • Documentation: Keep track of what each command does
Important: Be careful with commands that could affect server stability. Always test thoroughly before making packages available to players.
