Commands

LandWard keeps the public command surface deliberately small. Players manage land through the GUI; /land and /landward are aliases for /claim and every one of its subcommands. For example, /landward info is the same as /claim info, and /landward update is the same as /claim update.

Player commands

Command Description
/claim Opens the LandWard GUI. If you do not own a land, it opens the create-land flow and also shows lands where you are a member.
/claim menu Opens your owned land’s management GUI.
/claim help Shows the short in-game command reference.
/claim info Shows the installed version, author and update status.
/claim bypass Turns the temporary admin protection bypass on or off. It requires landward.bypass and resets when you log out.
/claim update Downloads the latest verified release so you can install it after stopping the server. Requires landward.admin.

From 1.0.2.0: /claim info and /claim update, including their /landward aliases, are not restricted to active claim worlds. Both refresh the official GitHub release information. The clickable update status targets LandWard's namespaced command to avoid conflicts with other plugins using /claim.

For the complete player flow—creating a land, the native anvil screen, chunk-map colours, membership and owner controls—see Claim Management.

Administration

Command Description
/claimadmin Opens ClaimAdmin: player claims, purple Safe Zones and active-world controls. Requires landward.admin.
/claimadmin reload Reloads configuration, language files and map layers. Requires landward.admin.
/claimadmin migrate <sqlite|mysql> confirm Live migration to the configured, empty target backend. Players stay online; LandWard briefly pauses claim changes. Requires landward.dbadmin.
/claimadmin storage status <sqlite|mysql> Checks the configured backend and whether its LandWard tables contain data. Requires landward.dbadmin.
/claimadmin storage clear <sqlite|mysql> confirm Clears LandWard tables in the selected backend. Requires landward.dbadmin; use only after reading Storage.

GUI-first: creating, claiming, unclaiming, renaming, member management and administration maps are handled through the in-game GUI. This keeps confirmations and permissions consistent.
