The following are all the server commands either a server administrator or admin in-game can enter with CraftBukkit out-of-the-box. In addition to the original vanilla SMP commands there are 4 additional commands which are specific to CraftBukkit. CraftBukkit provides built-in permissions which can be used in a permissions manager. Defaults are also observed for the permissions. In places where the Bukkit command overrides the Vanilla command you can select which one to use via adding a minecraft: or bukkit: prefix to the command.

History

Up until 1.8 Bukkit provided its own implementation of all the Vanilla commands. This was removed with the 1.8 release of CraftBukkit alongside the Bukkit permissions of these commands. The old permission syntax of bukkit.command.<command name> is now only valid for commands added by Bukkit itself.
