GameTypes Guide

This page introduces GameTypes from a public server-docs point of view. It focuses on what the feature does in-game, how to get started when you have access, and which commands are useful.

GameTypes helps players find the correct menu for island-style game modes. Use it when you are in a BentoBox world or when you want the server to show the available game type menus.

Start in-game with /gametype. The sections below explain what GameTypes is for, which commands players can try, and what to expect when your account has access.

  • Open or view GameTypes with /gametype.
  • Check your own GameTypes progress or settings with /gametype status.
  1. Start with /gametype to open or view GameTypes.
  2. Use /gametype status to check your current progress, settings, or state.
  3. Use /gametype info when you want the in-game help or a short explanation.
  4. Try /gametype menu when you are ready to use one of the feature actions.
