Chat & Communication

Chat channels, private messages, nicknames, prefixes, and everything about communicating on the network.

Chat Channels

When you type in chat, your message is sent to whichever channel you're currently in. You can switch channels at any time, and each channel has a different audience.

Channel	Audience	How to Switch
Global	Everyone in the same cluster	`/q setChannel global`
Local	Only players on your specific server	`/q setChannel local`
Guild	Only members of your guild (network-wide)	`/q setChannel guild`
Party	Only members of a specific party	`/q setChannel party <partyId>`
Universal	Everyone across the entire network	`/q setChannel universal`

Your default channel is Global. To check which channel you're currently in, use /q lookup.

Quick Send (Without Switching)

Don't want to change your active channel just to send one message? Use these shortcuts:

/uchat <message> — Send a single message to Universal chat.
/gchat <message> — Send a single message to your Guild chat.
/q sendparty <partyId> <message> — Send a single message to a party.

Messaging

Universal Chat

Universal chat reaches every player on every server in the network. Because of its broad reach, it's opt-in.

/uchattoggle — Toggle universal chat on or off. You must enable it before you can send or receive universal messages.
/uchat <message> — Send a message to universal chat without switching your active channel.

Tip

When enabled, universal messages appear with a [U] prefix so you can tell them apart from your local cluster chat.

Private Messages (Whispers)

Send private messages to any player on the network — even if they're on a different server.

/tell <player> <message> — Send a private message. Also works with /msg or /w.
/r <message> or /reply <message> — Quickly reply to the last person who whispered you.

Note

Private messages are only visible to you and the recipient. If you're messaging someone on another server, you'll see their server tag next to their name.

Guild Chat

If you're a member of a guild, you have access to a private guild chat channel that works across all servers.

/gchat <message> — Send a message to your guild.
/q setChannel guild — Switch your active channel to guild chat.
/gchannel — If you're in multiple guilds, lists them all. Click one to select which guild chat you want.
/gchannel <guildId> — Switch to a specific guild's chat by ID.

Guild messages appear with a [GUILD] tag and show your guild role.

Ignoring Players

/q ignore <player> — Ignore a player. You will no longer see their messages, whispers, or other communications.
/q unignore <player> — Stop ignoring a player and see their messages again.

Tip

Ignored players won't know they've been ignored — their messages simply won't appear for you.

Nicknames & Prefixes

Nicknames

Want to go by a different name in chat? You can set a custom nickname.

/nickname <name> — Set your nickname (3–16 characters, letters/numbers/dashes/underscores only).
/nickname — Remove your nickname and go back to your regular name.

Nickname Colour Gradients

If you have the nickname colour permission, you can add a gradient using up to 5 colours:

/nickname <name> <color1> [color2] [color3] [color4] [color5]

Colours can be Minecraft colour names (e.g. red, gold, aqua, dark_purple) or hex codes (e.g. #FF5733). Multiple colours create a smooth gradient.

Examples

/nickname CoolPlayer red blue — A red-to-blue gradient.
/nickname StarDust #FFD700 #FF69B4 #9400D3 — A gold-to-pink-to-purple gradient.

Prefixes

Prefixes are special tags that appear before your name in chat. They're earned through ranks, tickets, or other achievements.

/q setPrefix — Opens a menu to choose which of your unlocked prefixes to display.
