# Commands

## Commands

Everything you can type as a member of Doge SMP. Commands work the same on Java and Bedrock, just type `/` in chat.

 Note

**How to read this page**`<value>` means you must fill it in, `[value]` means it is optional, and `a|b` means pick one.

 Tip

**New here? Start with these**`/sethome` to save your base, `/lobby` and `/smp` to move between worlds, `/tpa <player>` to visit friends, `/vote` for free diamonds, and `/discord link` to join the community.

---

### Teleportation

- `/lobby` or `/l` - Teleports you to the Main Lobby.
- `/smp` - Teleports you to the SMP Spawn area.
- `/spawn` - Teleports you to the spawn point.
- `/sethome` - Sets your home at your current location.
- `/delhome` - Deletes your home.
- `/home`, `/h`, `/base`, or `/b` - Teleports you to your home.
- `/tpa <player>` - Sends a teleport request to a player.
- `/tpahere <player>` - Asks a player to teleport to you.
- `/tpaccept` - Accepts a teleport request.
- `/tpdeny` - Denies a teleport request.

 Tip

Set your home as soon as you settle somewhere. Hidden bases survive longer!

 Warning

**Teleporting does not make you safe.**The Main Lobby is the only Safe Zone. Everywhere else you can still be hunted, and logging out in combat means instant death and dropped items.

### Chat & Social

- `/mail clear` - Clears your mail.
- `/nick <name>` - Sets a custom nickname. Use `/nick off` to remove it.
