Commands and Permissions

The main command for EmakiCooking is /ecooking, alias /ec. All commands and permission nodes are listed below, along with the command to run first when a station (the block you cook with) goes wrong. Admins use it to reload station configuration, check the source of a held item or target block, rebuild the station index, and view runtime debug output

Command list

Command	Permission	Description
/ec help	emakicooking.use	Show help
/ec reload	emakicooking.reload or emakicooking.admin	Reload config, language, stations, recipes, GUI, and item adjustments
/ec inspect hand	emakicooking.inspect, emakicooking.use, or emakicooking.admin	Inspect the held item source and cooking match status
/ec inspect block	emakicooking.inspect, emakicooking.use, or emakicooking.admin	Inspect the target block within 6 blocks for station type, block state, TileState, PDC/YAML backend, and index status
/ec station reindex	emakicooking.admin	Rebuild the station coordinate index from legacy YAML and currently loaded PDC stations
/ec convert-legacy [confirm]	emakicooking.admin	Migrates old flat matcher keys to sibling item_sources + matcher fields or nested role nodes; fermentation-barrel inputs[] retains its legacy key for persisted slot-identity compatibility. Without an argument it performs a dry run; confirm (or --apply) writes files and keeps a backup
/ec debug [status|on|off|player <player>|module <module>]	emakicooking.debug or emakicooking.admin	Output runtime debug information, see the subcommands below

Running /ec with no arguments is equivalent to /ec help; both print the help. An unrecognized subcommand reports general.unknown_command

Nutrition commands

/ec nutrition queries and manages player nutrition values. See Nutrition System for the gameplay

Command	Permission	Description
/ec nutrition get [player] [type]	emakicooking.nutrition.use, emakicooking.nutrition.admin, or emakicooking.admin	Query nutrition values. Without a type it lists value / max for all types; with a type it returns the current value. The player can be omitted (defaults to self; the console must specify one)
/ec nutrition set <player> <type> <value>	emakicooking.nutrition.admin or emakicooking.admin	Set a player's nutrition value for a type
/ec nutrition add <player> <type> <value>	emakicooking.nutrition.admin or emakicooking.admin	Add to a player's nutrition value for a type
/ec nutrition remove <player> <type> <value>	emakicooking.nutrition.admin or emakicooking.admin	Subtract from a player's nutrition value for a type

• set, add, and remove require all four arguments, the target player must be online, and the written value is clamped to the type's min~max
• When the nutrition system is disabled, nutrition commands report that it is disabled

Which command to run first

Situation	Run first	Purpose
Changed stations, recipes, GUI, or language	/ec reload	Reload the Cooking runtime configuration
Materials, fuel, or containers do not match	/ec inspect hand	See which item source the held item resolves to
Station block, PDC backend, or index looks wrong	/ec inspect block	See whether the target block is a TileState, the active backend, PDC/YAML state, and the index record
Migrated old YAML, replaced blocks, or stations are missing after restart	/ec station reindex	Rebuild the data/stations/index/<world>.idx coordinate index
Station listener or display misbehaves	/ec debug	Inspect runtime state and debug output

Common operations

Inspect held item

/ec inspect hand

Use this to confirm whether the held item is recognized as a recipe input, container, fuel, tool, or station block; run it first when tracing custom item sources

Inspect target station block

/ec inspect block

Use this to inspect the target block within 6 blocks for station type, item source, block_state, tile_state, storage_backend, pdc_state, indexed, index_backend, and legacy_yaml. On servers with many stations, this confirms whether the anchor uses BLOCK_PDC and avoids standalone YAML-file IO

Rebuild station coordinate index

/ec station reindex

Use this to scan legacy YAML states and currently loaded PDC stations, rebuilding data/stations/index/<world>.idx. Run it first after migrating old data, replacing block entities, or seeing stations fail to restore on ChunkLoad

Reload cooking configuration

/ec reload

After reloading, check console output. If new station blocks, GUI, or recipe directories were added, verify state persistence and interaction flow on a test server first

Debug runtime state

/ec debug
/ec debug status
/ec debug on
/ec debug off
/ec debug player <player>
/ec debug module <module>

Subcommand	Description
no argument / status	Print the current debug switch, tracked players, and enabled modules
on / off	Enable or disable debug output globally
player <player>	Toggle tracking for that online player; omitting the name lists the available modules
module <module>	Toggle debug output for a single module. Modules available in EmakiCooking: recipe, stir, display, station, pdc (plus the shared CoreLib modules)

An unrecognized subcommand falls back to printing the status. Useful for troubleshooting station listeners, display entities, recipe matching, and persistence state

Troubleshooting

• Station not working: check block source, station permissions, and interaction type
• Station state/backend unclear: run /ec inspect block and check tile_state, storage_backend, pdc_state, indexed, and legacy_yaml
• Station missing after restart or chunk load: run /ec station reindex, then check console for lost_block_entity_replaced or mismatch reports
• Materials cannot be placed: check input_rules.only_recipe_items, recipe directory, and item source
• Juicer cannot collect: check fluid capacity vs container serving_ml, and confirm emakicooking.station.juicer.collect permission
• Fermentation barrel cannot start: check input matches recipe and start permission
• Oven not progressing: check heat is within recipe range and fuel is effective
