This guide covers all admin and console commands available for your Necesse dedicated server on Legion Hosting. Learn how to manage players, configure server settings, and use cheat commands to administer your world. For initial server setup and configuration, see our Necesse Server Setup Guide.
Permission Levels
Necesse uses a tiered permission system that determines which commands each player can access. There are four permission levels:
| Level | Description | Access |
|---|---|---|
| User | Default permission for all players | Basic chat, gameplay, team management |
| Moderator | Can manage players and perform basic server tasks | Kick players, save the world, broadcast messages |
| Admin | Full world and player control (requires cheats enabled) | Teleport, give items, modify world time, ban players, manage buffs |
| Owner | Highest level with full server authority | Set permissions, change passwords, enable cheats, shut down server |
Setting Admin Permissions
Setting the Server Owner
The server owner is set at server startup using the -owner startup parameter. This grants full Owner-level permissions to the specified player name.
-owner YourPlayerNameYou can configure this in GPanel under Startup Variables. The owner has access to all commands, including the ability to promote other players.
Assigning Permissions to Players
Once you are the server owner (or already have Owner permissions), you can assign permissions to other players using the /permissions command:
/permissions set PlayerName admin
/permissions set PlayerName moderator
/permissions set PlayerName ownerTo check a player's current permissions:
/permissions get PlayerNameTo list all players with special permissions:
/permissions list
Note: Players can check their own permission level using the
/mypermissions command.
Enabling Cheats
Many admin-level commands (such as /give, /tp, /hp, /time) require cheats to be enabled on the server. Only the server owner can enable cheats.
/allowcheats
Warning: Enabling cheats is irreversible. Once enabled, cheats cannot be disabled, and all characters that join the server will be permanently locked to cheat-enabled worlds. Consider carefully before enabling this feature.

Server Management via Console
For quick server management, these are the most commonly used commands from the GPanel console:

# Safely stop the server

/say Server restarting in 5 minutes!
# Check connected players
/players
# Change the difficulty
/difficulty adventure
# Disable raids
/raids never
Restarting the Server: Necesse does not have a built-in
/restart command. To restart, use /stop to safely shut down the server, then start it again from GPanel. Alternatively, use GPanel's Restart button which handles this automatically.
Tips and Best Practices
- Use
/help [command]to get detailed information about any specific command, including required parameters and examples - Many commands support a
listparameter to show available options (e.g.,/difficulty list,/deathpenalty list) - Always
/savebefore making significant changes or shutting down the server - Consider the implications carefully before enabling cheats, as it is a permanent and irreversible change
- Use authentication IDs instead of player names for bans to prevent circumvention
- Assign Moderator permissions to trusted players who can help manage the server when you are offline
