I have seen people new to MineRealm see the response ./COMMAND, ex. ./home ./sethome ./spawn, in chat and then type ./Command in themselves. Minor issue but I had an idea...

WARNING: This post may become very technical and confusing skip to the bottom for a simpler explanation.

Maybe use the Listener set up for helpbot to intercept chat messages containing "./" as the first two chars and then cancel the message and rebroadcast cast as just "/". Simplest way would probably be to concatenate PlayerName + ":" + message and display that in global chat.

TL;DR / Non-Bukkit-Techie Speak: if you say "./home" into chat it looks like you said "/home" which is currently impossible to say.

or just say

Example 1:

Type /home

Example 2:

Type "/home" without the quotes.

Example 3:

./home without the period

I can say /home.

I like being able to put a period in front of my commands. Sometimes I do ./afk, if this was implemented the server would receive it as /afk, which is not a valid command. Also, when someone asks for a command, it's easiest to just type: "./_____" instead of: You type: "/______"

Therefore, It is my opinion that this should not be implemented.

EDIT

I misread the OP, this would be nice, but it is hardly necessary.

I really don't think this would be worth the effort...

Guys, while we're at it lets make it so we can type /wheat to get an inventory full of bread too!

That's totally not what the proposal is. All he was suggesting is that typing ./xyz into the chat bar and pressing enter makes it appear as /xyz in the chat box. No impact on gameplay, just a different way of informing people of the commands.

I don't think it's necessary though; as mentioned by several others, there are plenty of ways of getting the idea across.
