Commands

/timer resume

Resumes the current timer.

/timer pause

Pauses the current timer.

/timer reset

Stops and resets the current timer to 0.

/timer create <name>

Creates a new timer with the given name. Timer names must be:

• Not empty
• ≤ 20 characters
• Contain only letters, numbers, _ or -

Example:

/timer create speedrun1

If successful, a clickable message appears allowing you to select the timer immediately.

/timer select <name>

Selects the timer with the given name and pauses it by default.

/timer name

Shows the name of the currently selected timer.

/timer rename <name>

Renames the current timer to the specified name. The same naming rules apply as for /timer create <name>.

/timer state <name>

Shows the current state (time) of the specified timer or the active timer if no name is given.

/timer list

Lists all available timers with their current times. Each entry is:

• Clickable: suggests /timer select <name>
• Hoverable: shows "Click to select"

Example output:

These timers exist:
- speedrun1 (0s)
- bossfight (1h 23m 51s)

/timer set <time>

Sets the current timer to a specific time.

The <time> argument can be either a simple number of seconds (e.g. 300) or a more detailed format combining days, hours, minutes, and seconds, e.g.: 13d2s, 78m12s, 15h7s, 12h, 465s, 484

Example:

/timer set 1d3h17m12s

/timer add <time>

Adds the given time to the current timer.

The <time> argument accepts the same formats as /timer set, for example: 300, 78m12s, 15h7s, 13d2s, 465s

Example:

/timer add 1h30m

/timer subtract <time>

Subtracts the given time from the current timer.

The <time> argument accepts the same formats as /timer set, for example: 300, 78m12s, 15h7s, 13d2s, 465s

Example:

/timer subtract 45m20s

/timer remove <name>

Removes the specified timer. If no name is given, removes the current timer. If the currently active timer is removed, no timer remains selected.

/timer reload

Reloads the configuration file from disk.

/timer save

Manually saves all timer data to disk. Otherwise, the data is saved with every server shutdown.
