Getting Your Current Coordinates
/de getposWarp Signs
Operators can place warp signs to allow players to teleport to predefined coordinates. Create a sign with the following format:
[Warp]
<x>
<y>
<z>Each of lines 2–4 must contain an integer coordinate. Requires the de.placeWarpSign permission to create and de.usewarpsign to use.
New Player Welcome
When a player joins the server for the first time, everyone online is sent Welcome <name> to the server!. This happens automatically and has no permission or configuration switch.
