Learn how to switch between talking, whispering and shouting, send messages, choose professions and ask for help. Simple commands with examples you can follow.
Start with these three commands
These are the commands to help you settle in. Type a command into Minecraft chat and press Enter.
- Choose your character: When you first load into Uros, you will be met with the character creation screenOnce you have your Character created, to view details or settings of your character, use: /profile
Open the character menu to create another character or change details.
- Start roleplaying: /rp
This puts you into roleplay chat. After that, type your messages normally.
- Choose your trades: /professions
Open the professions menu to choose your Primary and Secondary professions.
Talking in game
Choose how you want to talk, then type normally. You only need to enter another chat command when you want to change how you are speaking.
/rpPuts you into RP chat. Your next messages are your character speaking. You do not need to put /rp before every message.
/wChanges your text to become a whisper, so only people close by can hear you.
/sChanges your text to shouting so people farther away can hear you.
/looc or prefix your text with ( - Example: (Can you see these lock settings?Switches to local out-of-character chat. Use it for things such as asking to pause a scene. Type /rp when you are ready to return to roleplay.
/ooc or prefix your text with (( - Example: ((Welcome to Uros!Sends an out-of-character message to the server. Replace the example message with your own.
/chatOpens the chat menu.
Show what your character does
In RP chat, normal text is speech. Start with * to describe your character’s action, or ** to describe the environment. You only need the asterisks at the beginning.
| What you want to do | What you type |
|---|---|
| Speak as your character | Hello <character>, have you been waiting long? |
| Describe your character's action | *smiles and offers <character> a seat. |
| Describe the environment | **Rain taps against the tavern windows. |
| Follow an action with speech | *waves to <player> "There you are! |
| Shout using a message prefix | ! or /s <player>! Over here! |
| Whisper using a message prefix | ? or /w |
| Local out of Character Text | ( or /looc One moment, I need to step away. |
Helpful chat options
/settingsOpen the Chat section for optional punctuation, capitalisation and word-filter display settings.
/conversationFocus up to 10 nearby characters. Other RP becomes darker but stays visible. You can also use /convo. Focusing does not stop other people from hearing you.
Optional roleplay effect: /drunk 25 Adds a level of drunken speech effects. The introduction describes /drunk as temporary, with a range of 0–100.
