Commands for Minqlx Modders & Admins
Posted: Sun Apr 05, 2026 1:52 pm
Hi all, for those who are Modders on the Quake Live servers will need to know these commands below.
Remember never press the Pause key on your Keyboard as this will freeze/pause the server! If you do then type this;
****!unpause if you press Pause Key****
Below are some commands that can be used within the Server running Minqlx, meaning some for Mods only and some Admins,
The ones Modders need are the following;
!kick
!ban
!unban
!mute
!unmute
!warn
To get the players <steam id> you need to type in the console \players to get there ID but it is very important that you make sure you are typing the correct ID when kicking or banning/muting someone. Always double, triple check it before you type the command/id and hit enter!
Any issues just ask me, it is fairly simple for example;
!mute <id number 1 to 20> 99
This will mute the player from in game chat and mic for 99 years, do not use anymore than 99 years as this will mess things up, but from 1 to 99 is ok.
As a moderator in Quake Live, you have control over vote outcomes using the F1 and F2 keys:
F1 + F1 → Pass (approve the vote)
F2 + F1 → Pass (approve the vote)
F2 + F2 → Deny (reject the vote)
F1 + F2 → Deny (reject the vote)
This allows you to quickly decide whether to approve or reject votes during gameplay.
****Commands****
The command system is based on permission levels. A player will have a permission level of 0 by default. A player with level 1 can execute commands for level 1 and below. A level 2 player can execute level 2, 1 and 0 commands, and so on.
Permission level 0
!getrating (alternatively !getelo, !elo) from balance

Ex.: !id min cool would list all players with those two tokens in their name. "Mino", "COOLLER" and "^5I A^2M MI^6NO" would all be possible candidates.
You can always do /players in the console, but this can save you some time if you're only looking for a player or two, especially since it can be done from chat too.
