# Helpful Commands
Commands are split into two types: client commands and server commands. Client commands are commands which are executed
by the client and do not affect the Archipelago remote session. Server commands are commands which are executed by the
Archipelago server and affect the Archipelago session or otherwise provide feedback from the server.
In clients which have their own commands the commands are typically prepended by a forward slash: `/`.
Server commands are always submitted to the server prepended with an exclamation point: `!`. <br/>
# Server Commands
Server commands may be executed by any client which allows for sending text chat to the Archipelago server. If your
client does not allow for sending chat then you may connect to your game slot with the TextClient which comes with the
Archipelago installation. In order to execute the command you need to merely send a text message with the command,
including the exclamation point.
### General
- `!help` Returns a listing of available commands.
- `!license` Returns the software licensing information.
- `!options` Returns the current server options, including password in plaintext.
- `!players` Returns info about the currently connected and non-connected players.
- `!status` Returns information about the connection status and check completion numbers for all players in the current room. <br /> (Optionally mention a Tag name and get information on who has that Tag. For example: !status DeathLink)
### Utilities
- `!countdown <number of seconds>` Starts a countdown using the given seconds value. Useful for synchronizing starts.
Defaults to 10 seconds if no argument is provided.
- `!alias <alias>` Sets your alias, which allows you to use commands with the alias rather than your provided name.
`!alias` on its own will reset the alias to the player's original name.
- `!admin <command>` Executes a command as if you typed it into the server console. Remote administration must be
enabled.
### Information
- `!remaining` Lists the items remaining in your game, but not where they are or who they go to.
- `!missing` Lists the location checks you are missing from the server's perspective.
- `!checked` Lists all the location checks you've done from the server's perspective.
### Hints
- `!hint` Lists all hints relevant to your world, the number of points you have for hints, and how much a hint costs.
- `!hint <item name>` Tells you the game world and location your item is in, uses points earned from completing locations.
- `!hint_location <location>` Tells you what item is in a specific location, uses points earned from completing locations.
### Collect/Release
- `!collect` Grants you all the remaining items for your world by collecting them from all games. Typically used after
goal completion.
- `!release` Releases all items contained in your world to other worlds. Typically, done automatically by the server,
but can be configured to allow/require manual usage of this command.
### Cheats
