Server Commands and Ley Meter

Server operator guide

Install the matching Sky’s Ley Lines build on the server and its clients. For a local world, place the JAR in the instance’s mods directory. Check the release requirements before choosing a build.

Survey a nexus

1. In the Overworld, run /skysleylines locate nexus. Click the reported coordinates in chat to copy them. The Y coordinate is the natural ground height, which can be below water.
2. Use /skysleylines vision on to see the crossing. Move to where you plan to put a machine and run /skysleylines sample and /skysleylines account. A visible line can have natural strength even when there is no eligible nexus account.
3. For a closer look, use the Ley Meter. In Creative, go to Options → Controls → Operator Items Tab, turn it ON, then reopen your inventory. The meter is in Operator Utilities. You can also use /give @s skysleylines:ley_meter. Right-click a block to inspect it or aim into empty space and right-click to sample your feet. Use it again for a fresh reading.

The meter shows field strength, the eligible nexus, and a read-only account snapshot. Inactive currencies are retained in the account. Use the account command for the full report if the meter truncates long values or a large currency list.

Command reference

Permission levels below are Minecraft command permission levels. Brackets mark optional arguments. Commands that accept a position use the source position when coordinates are omitted. An explicit position is in the source dimension.

Command	Level	Result
/skysleylines locate nexus or /skysleylines nearest	2	Finds the nearest Overworld nexus within the lesser of 4,096 blocks and twice the saved spacing.
/skysleylines vision [on|off]	2	Sets personal operator vision or toggles it when the argument is omitted. Run it as a player.
/skysleylines sample [x y z]	2	Shows field activity, strengths, vertical factor, resistance, and total charge if a nexus is eligible.
/skysleylines account [x y z]	2	Shows the eligible nexus’s raw and total charge, capacity, full refill time, and saved currency balances and rates.
/skysleylines profile	2	Shows the saved world profile, effective recharge interval, and capacity multiplier.
/skysleylines rates	2	Lists saved rates and which currencies are installed.
/skysleylines rates preview	4	Previews a currency rate migration for the issuing operator.
/skysleylines rates apply <revision>	4	Applies that operator’s matching preview and backs up the prior ledger.
/skysleylines account recover <currency> <units> [x y z]	4	Returns a positive whole-unit amount of an inactive currency to raw magic at one eligible nexus.

The operator vision toggle ends on logout, respawn, or loss of permission. Timed effects from other mods can continue independently. Ley Meter use requires permission level 2.

Add a named nexus

See Worldgen and nexus pins for preview, staging, retirement, and recovery commands. Locate shows authored Y for a pin and natural ground for a seeded nexus.

Balance a live world

Use Mods → Sky’s Ley Lines → Config in a private single-player session or edit the server TOML while the world is closed. Change rechargeTicksOverride to retune recharge for an existing world. A value of 72000 is three Minecraft days for a full refill. Set nexusCapacityMultiplier to tune how much raw-equivalent charge a nexus can hold. The default of 0.01 gives 70 raw capacity to a nexus that originally held 7,000. Reopen the world and check effectiveRechargeTicks and nexusCapacityMultiplier with the profile command.

Before changing currency rates, read the current account and run the rate migration preview. Changing a pack’s configured rate leaves existing balances at their saved rate until you apply a preview. If other transactions invalidate the preview, create a fresh one. See the configuration guide for config paths, backups, and save versions.
