/shard

Requires atlas.shard.admin.
/shard bar and /shard walls follow you across borders and geos, because the preference travels in the player record next to the inventory rather than living on one server.On the walls, blue is a border inside this geo, amber is another geo, and red is a region nobody is serving.

Reading /shard topology

A dash means no live owner. Players there are sent to the hub and the ground is frozen until something serves it again.

/shard time

Setting the time on one shard alone does not work: a follower is corrected back within the second. This sends an explicit set that every shard applies immediately. One shard is the clock — the lowest-numbered region that is alive — and it broadcasts the time and weather every second. The others follow. The leader is derived rather than elected, so there is no election to get stuck, and if it dies the next-lowest takes over within a heartbeat.

/audit

Covered in full under the change log.

/back

Registered on the proxy, not on a shard, and available to any player. A player stuck in the hub has no plugin of ours to talk to and no way to ask for anything. /back is the way out that does not depend on the automatic return being right. It sends them to wherever their record says they belong, or explains why it cannot yet.
