# Commands

## <mark style="color:blue;">Introduction</mark>

The Commands configuration file (`commands.json`) allows you to enable or disable any command across all Athena Bot plugins. This gives you complete control over which features are available in your server.

***

## <mark style="color:blue;">How to Disable Commands</mark>

Each command has a boolean value that determines whether it loads when the bot starts:

```json
config: {
    core: {
        ping: true,      // ✅ Command is enabled
        debug: false,    // ❌ Command is disabled
    }
}
```

**To disable a command:**

1. Set the command to `false` in the configuration file
2. Save the file
3. **Restart the bot** - changes only apply after a full restart

**When a command is disabled (`false`):**

* The command will not load on bot restart
* It will not be available to anyone, including admins
* It will not appear in the `/help` command
* It behaves as if it doesn't exist

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Important:** Changes require a bot restart to take effect. Simply saving the configuration file is not enough.
{% endhint %}

## <mark style="color:blue;">Protected Commands</mark>

Two commands cannot be disabled by default and require the **Watermark Addon** to disable:

### <mark style="color:yellow;">botinfo</mark>

The `botinfo` command displays information about Athena Bot (version, credits, uptime, etc.).

**To disable this command:**

1. Purchase the **Watermark Addon**
2. Use the `/claim` command in the Athena Support Discord
3. Set `botinfo: false` in this configuration
4. Restart the bot

Without the Watermark Addon, this command will remain active regardless of the configuration setting.

***

### <mark style="color:yellow;">devstatus</mark>

The `devstatus` command displays the current system status of Iynx Development's services.

**To disable this command:**

1. Purchase the **Watermark Addon**
2. Use the `/claim` command in the Athena Support Discord
3. Set `devstatus: false` in this configuration
4. Restart the bot

Without the Watermark Addon, this command will remain active regardless of the configuration setting.
