Sponge: Help command doesn't follow Vanilla usage

Created on 9 Mar 2017  路  4Comments  路  Source: SpongePowered/Sponge

In Minecraft we have the help command which follows this syntax for page traversal /help [page]. So /help 2 works fine and as expected.

If you try to do this in Sponge you are met with a "Unknown command. Try /help for a list of commands". Instead you must do /page 2 to traverse the pages. This completely breaks what people would expect from this command.

I'm not exactly sure why we even replace the vanilla help command with our... worse version.

This is the same with other sponge commands afaics.

Its particularly bad if you call it from the console as there is no prompt or any indication of now to get to the next page.

This is beyond bad. It breaks one of the core assumptions of how the game works, ... accessing the help system.

Why isn't in documented where it belongs, in the /help command itself?

I almost uninstalled, except one of the mods I'm using requires sponge.
