Commands

For commands Bosses can run on spawn/death/health threshold, see Boss Commands.

• [] = optional arguments
• <> = required arguments

TIP: The short variant for /boss is /b. Most subcommands have a one-letter alias too: butcher|b, egg|e, find|f, list|l, menu|m, tools|t, remove|rm, location|loc, region|rg, reload|rl.

You can view the required permission directly within the error message when you attempt to execute a command you don't have access to.
