🏒 Server Commands
Type these in the in-game chat (open chat, type the command, press Enter). They work on Ponce’s Puck servers thanks to our server mods. Most are open to everyone. A few only work in warmup, during a vote, or affect only your own screen.
Team Scramble
VoteScramble
Call a vote to randomly reshuffle both teams mid-game. Goalies keep their team; only skaters get mixed.
/sc
[y | n | s] also /scramble, /votescramble
Start a scramble vote, or cast your vote on one already running. Bare /sc (or /sc y) = YES, /sc n = NO, /sc s = show the tally. Needs 60% of on-team players to pass within 30s. Min 4 players; 3-minute cooldown after a scramble.
/y
Quick YES on the active scramble vote, so you don't have to type the whole command.
/n
Quick NO on the active scramble vote.
/s
Privately show the current vote status (yes/no counts and how many YES votes are still needed).
Shootout Vote
Shootouts
Vote to trigger a full hockey shootout mode. Each team then ranks its shooters in a quick on-screen order vote.
/vso
[y | n | s] also /voteshootout, /shootoutvote
Start a shootout vote, or vote on one that's running. Bare /vso (or y) = YES, n = NO, s = tally. Needs 60% of on-team players. Spectators can't vote.
/y
also /n, /s
Global shortcuts while a shootout vote is running: /y = yes, /n = no, /s = status.
/order
Shooting order is set by the Order Vote panel that pops up for about 15 seconds at the start of each shootout. Use the on-screen arrows to rank your team, then hit Submit. This command just reminds you of that.

MuteMod

Add a video or page to the shared queue that plays on the in-world screens for everyone. No URL just opens the queue panel. (Needs the server's queue enabled.)
/motd webview

Ruleset
Ruleset
The Ruleset mod calls offsides, icings, and penalties automatically. Players only get a couple of display commands; referees and admins have the rest (see below).
/refscale

/help
Show the Ruleset commands in chat.
Goalie Pull
PoncePuck.GoaliePull
There's no command to pull your goalie; it's automatic. If your team is trailing in the 3rd period, your goalie skates into the strip along their own blue line and holds there for about half a second to get pulled for an extra skater. Skate back into that same zone to return to net. If the score ties up or the period ends, the goalie is sent back automatically.
Player QOL menu
PoncePlayerInput
Most of the Player QOL mod isn't chat commands; it's a menu. Open the PLAYER QOL button on the main menu or the pause menu for:
- Sound sliders for music, goal horn, faceoff, warmup, goal, period break, game over, scenery, and @mention-ping volumes (these are the sound-mod controls, shown as sliders rather than commands), plus a mention-sound picker.
- Per-position settings like FOV, camera angle, handedness, stick and look sensitivity, and minimap layout that auto-apply when you play each position.
- Chat extras including an emoji / kaomoji picker (right-click the chat box), Discord-style markdown (
**bold**,*italic*,~~strike~~,||spoiler||,`code`), and a rich-text toggle. - Keybinds that instantly send a chat command, or open chat pre-filled (for example
/won U and/ron R by default). - Scoreboard menus where a left-click on a player lets you save them, view their profile, or block them (a local mute).
No commands match "".
