Question Vanilla Commands don't work

  • After careful consideration and due to limited usage, we’ve made the decision to discontinue the PaperMC forums. Moving forward, we recommend using Hangar for plugin uploads, and for all other community discussions and support, please join us on Discord.

I am very new to paper servers and when i converted my server from a regular vanilla to a PaperMC server the default vanilla server commands stopped working. the main one I am having issues with is "/worldborder center" but all other commands seem to not work either in game or in the console. Every time I try using any command it just returns with the error message "Unknown command. Type "/help" for help."

I have also tried the /version command and it returns with the same error, but my server is currently running on 1.19.1

Well /worldborder center is an invalid command. Its missing some arguments, namely 2 position arguments.
The /version command should not print out that. Can you post your latest.log?

never mind I seem to have figured it out I was putting a "/" in font of the commands and that seemed to be the issue I apologize for the inconvenience

If you're exeucting a command from the console, they should not be prefixed with a '/'. If you're exeucting a command in-game, they should be prefixed with a '/'. For example, in-game you'd type /version, whereas in the console you'd type version.
