Admin Commands

Admin Commands are designed for server administrators and staff members to manage Advanced Parkour arenas, player sessions, and plugin behavior.

All commands can be used through /advancedparkour or /ap. Unless otherwise stated, commands can also be executed from the console.


Displays basic plugin information and provides access to the help menu.

When executed without arguments, the command shows the current Advanced Parkour version and author. If the sender has administrative permissions, it also points to the help command.

Terminal window
/ap

Administrators with the advancedparkour.command.help permission can display a comprehensive list of available commands and their usage instructions.

Terminal window
/ap help

The help menu is dynamic. Depending on the sender’s permissions and whether debug mode is enabled in the configuration, it can automatically expand to include administrative and debugging commands.


Essential for server administrators with the advancedparkour.admin.reload permission to apply configuration changes without restarting the server.

Terminal window
/ap reload

This reload updates:

  • Chat and messages
  • Config options
  • Registered items
  • Event profiler configuration
  • Arena sign handling
  • Game-related caches dependent on configuration

Administrators with the advancedparkour.admin.stop permission can immediately terminate an ongoing parkour session without waiting for its natural conclusion.

Terminal window
/ap stop [arena]
  • If used by a player without an arena argument, it targets the arena they are currently in.
  • If used with an arena argument, it targets that arena directly.
  • If used from console, you should provide the arena name.

This command allows you to stop the run you are currently participating in by using it without arguments, or to stop a specific arena remotely by providing its name. Importantly, runs terminated via this command are considered cancelled, meaning they do not behave like normal completions.


Administrators with the advancedparkour.admin.kick permission can remove a player from an active parkour run.

Terminal window
/ap kick <player>

The target player is removed from the run and teleported to the arena’s configured end location if one exists.
