Command Aliases

Create custom redirects and shortcuts for your favorite commands.

Command Aliases

The Alias system allows server administrators to create custom command names that point to existing bot commands. This is perfect for localizing commands or creating shorter, more convenient shortcuts for your community.

How it Works

Aliases act as direct redirects. When a user runs a custom alias, Veronica executes the target command with the exact same logic.

Configuration

Use the /alias command to manage your server’s custom mappings.

1. Add an Alias

   Map a new name to an existing command.

   /alias add command:userinfo alias:whois
   

   Command redirected! Running ,whois will now trigger the ,userinfo command.
2. List Existing Aliases

   View all active mappings in your server:

   /alias list
   

   Audit your custom shortcuts.
3. Remove an Alias

   Delete a mapping when it’s no longer needed:

   /alias remove alias:whois
   

   Alias successfully wiped from server memory.

Command Reference

Command	Description	Permission
/alias add	Create a new custom command redirect	Manage Server
/alias remove	Delete a custom alias	Manage Server
/alias list	View all active aliases in the server	Manage Server

Use Cases

• Localization: Rename commands to match your community’s primary language (e.g., mapping ban to proibir).
• Shortcuts: Create shorter versions of long commands (e.g., mapping moderationhistory to modhx).
• Custom Branding: Align command names with your server’s theme or lore.

Best Practices

Avoid Conflicts

You cannot create an alias that has the same name as an existing Veronica command or another active alias.

Keep it Memorable

Short, intuitive aliases are more likely to be used by your community.

Prefix Support

Aliases work seamlessly with both Slash Commands and Prefix Commands (,).

Custom aliases are server-specific. Aliases created in one server will not be available in another.
