Commands

AirBrush adds a handful of commands. The table is a quick reference; each command is explained with examples below.

Command Purpose Permission Default
/color <color> Set the pencil color airbrush.color op
/undo [amount] Undo your last strokes airbrush.undo op
/drawitem <item> Give yourself a tool airbrush.drawitem op
(pencil, eraser, palette in hand) Use the creative tools airbrush.tools.use op
/airbrush reload Reload config & language airbrush.reload op
/glyphtest [particles] Analyze nearby glyphs (debug) airbrush.debug op

/color

Set the colour your pencil draws with. Accepts a named colour or a #RRGGBB hex value. Named colours auto-complete as you type.

/color red
/color light_purple
/color #1B2A4A

The # is optional — /color 1b2a4a works too. An unknown name or malformed hex returns an error and leaves your colour unchanged.

Note

This sets the pencil colour — an admin tool, hence the op-default airbrush.color permission. To pick a colour visually, use the palette instead. Quill colour comes from the ink you dip it in — see Inks & cauldrons.

/undo

Undo your most recent strokes. With no argument it undoes a single change; pass a number to undo several at once.

/undo        # undo the last change
/undo 5      # undo the last 5 changes

The amount must be 1 or greater. If there's nothing left to undo, you'll be told so.

Admin tool

/undo requires airbrush.undo (op by default) and reverts any change — pencil, quill and marker strokes, and even erases. Survival players fix mistakes the survival way: with the cloth, or by waiting for non-permanent ink to fade.

/drawitem

Give yourself one of the AirBrush tools. Requires the airbrush.drawitem permission (op by default). Valid items:

kit · pencil · eraser · palette · amethyst_dye · hammer · cloth · quill · quill_gold · quill_diamond · quill_netherite

/drawitem kit          # pencil + eraser + palette in one go
/drawitem hammer
/drawitem quill_netherite

Quills are handed out at full quality. For how the tools are normally crafted, see Craftings.

/airbrush reload

Reload config.properties and the language files without restarting the server. Requires airbrush.reload (op by default).

/airbrush reload

See Configuration for the settings this applies.

/glyphtest

A debug command for tuning glyphs. It analyzes the marker/quill strokes around you and reports the detected shape, modifiers and a quality breakdown (closure, regularity, smoothness, cleanliness). Requires airbrush.debug (op by default).

/glyphtest             # print the analysis
/glyphtest particles   # also highlight the detected corners and centre

Use it while practising glyphs to see exactly what the plugin recognises before you strike with the hammer.
