Admin Commands

Admin Commands are designed for server administrators and staff members who want to prototype edible items, inspect Paper food data, distribute configured consumables, and manage Eat Everything without restarting the server.

All commands can be used through /eateverything or its alias /ee. Unless otherwise stated, the editing commands are intended for in-game use because they operate on the item held in the sender’s main hand.

Main Command

Displays basic plugin information and confirms that Eat Everything is loaded correctly.

When used without arguments, this command shows the running plugin version and acts as a quick sanity check that the plugin is active.

/eateverything

Item Editing Commands

These player-only commands read or update the food data on the item held in your main hand.

Nutrition Command

Administrators with the eateverything.nutrition permission can use this command to read or change how many hunger points the held item restores.

When used without a value, the command displays the current nutrition of the item in your main hand. When a numeric value is provided, the plugin writes the new food value directly onto the held item.

/ee nutrition [value]

This command is commonly used while balancing custom consumables before moving the final values into food-components.yml.

Saturation Command

Administrators with the eateverything.saturation permission can use this command to read or change how much saturation the held item restores.

Without a value, the command displays the current saturation amount. With a decimal value, it updates the held item’s food data directly.

/ee saturation [value]

This command is especially useful when fine-tuning whether an item should feel like a light snack or a stronger recovery consumable.

Eat Seconds Command

Administrators with the eateverything.eatseconds permission can use this command to read or change how long the item takes to consume.

This edits the consumable timing directly, which makes it useful for fast-use combat items, slower roleplay consumables, or anything in between.

/ee eatseconds [value]

Edible Command

Administrators with the eateverything.edible permission can use this command to control whether the held item can always be consumed, even when the player is not hungry.

This is useful when you want an item to behave like a true utility consumable instead of a hunger-gated food item.

/ee edible [true|false]

Effect Command

Administrators with the eateverything.effect permission can use this command to add status effects to the held item or clear existing status-effect consume entries from it.

This is the command you use when a consumable should do more than restore hunger, such as granting regeneration, speed, or another potion-style effect after use.

/ee effect <clear|add> <effect> <duration> <amplifier> [probability]

In practice, this command is mostly used while prototyping special consumables before the final behavior is moved into food-components.yml.

Info Command

Administrators with the eateverything.info permission can use this command to inspect the held item’s current food properties and consumable effects.

This is one of the most important commands for debugging because it shows the final state of the item after multiple edits and also provides a clickable component-string-based /give command for copying the exact result.

/ee info

Component Testing and Distribution

Once a component is defined in YAML, use this command to create clean test items from the latest configuration.

Item Command

Administrators with the eateverything.item permission can use this command to generate a fresh item from a custom component ID defined in food-components.yml.

This makes it the cleanest way to test a component after /ee reload, especially when you want to avoid reusing an older item that may already contain previously applied data.

/ee item <id> [amount]

Help and Configuration

Help Command

Administrators with the eateverything.help permission can use the help command to display an organized overview of the Eat Everything command set.

For players, the help output is interactive: commands can be hovered for descriptions and clicked to insert their usage text into chat. The optional --general flag also explains terminology such as nutrition, saturation, consume time, and effect probability.

/ee help
/ee help --general

Reload Command

Essential for server administrators with the eateverything.reload permission to apply changes made to Eat Everything’s configuration files without requiring a full server restart.

This command reloads the main config, messages, and custom food component definitions. In practice, it refreshes the in-memory rules used for future component matching and future item generation.

/ee reload
