Admin Commands

Admin Commands are designed for server administrators and staff members to manage TNT Run games, arenas, and plugin behavior.

All commands can be used via /tntrun or its alias /tr. Unless otherwise stated, all 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 TNT Run version and authors. If the sender has administrative permissions, it also points to the help command.

Terminal window
/tntrun

Administrators with the tntrun.admin.start permission can use this command to bypass waiting timers and immediately begin a match.

This command allows you to force-start the match in the arena you are currently joined to by using it without arguments, or to start a specific arena remotely by providing its name. Note that a match cannot be started if there are no players currently joined to the arena.

Terminal window
/tntrun start [arena]

Administrators with the tntrun.admin.stop permission can use this command to immediately terminate an ongoing match without waiting for its natural conclusion.

This command allows you to stop the match you are currently participating in by using it without arguments, or to shut down a specific arena remotely by providing its name. Importantly, matches terminated via this command are considered cancelled, meaning player statistics and game progress will not be saved.

Terminal window
/tntrun stop [arena]

Administrators with the tntrun.admin.kick permission can use this command to remove a player from their active TNT Run arena.

The player is safely removed from the match and teleported to the arena’s configured end location.

Terminal window
/tntrun kick <player>

Administrators with the tntrun.command.help permission can use this command to display a comprehensive list of available commands and their usage instructions.

This command provides an organized overview of the plugin’s functionality. The help menu is dynamic; depending on the sender’s specific permissions and whether debug mode is enabled in the configuration, it will automatically expand to include administrative and debugging commands.

Terminal window
/tntrun help

Essential for server administrators with the tntrun.admin.reload permission to apply changes made to configuration files without requiring a server restart.

This command performs a comprehensive synchronization, updating the plugin’s internal state. It reloads the messages, config options, custom items, sounds, signs, events, and game manager data.

Terminal window
/tntrun reload

When command blocking is enabled, active players can only use allowed commands unless they have the tntrun.commandblock.bypass permission.

Use this for staff groups that need access to moderation or admin commands during a match.
