Iris replaces vanilla world generation entirely. Dimensions, regions, biomes, objects and jigsaw structures are authored as JSON data packs; Iris assembles them at generation time.
| Command | /iris (ir, irs) |
| Load | STARTUP — before any world loads |
| Folia | Supported |
| Permissions | iris.all, iris.treefeller |
| Integrations | WorldEdit, ItemsAdder, Nexo, CraftEngine, MMOItems, MythicMobs, MythicCrucible, EcoItems, ExecutableItems, SCore, MythicLib, eco, KGenerators, PlaceholderAPI |
Iris declares
loadbefore: Multiverse-Core. If you run Multiverse, Iris must initialise first or Multiverse will claim Iris worlds with the vanilla generator. {.is-warning}
| Node | Default | Covers |
|---|---|---|
iris.all |
op |
The full /iris tree — worlds, studio, pregen, packs, developer tools |
iris.treefeller |
op |
Lets survival players fell Iris-managed trees with an axe |
iris.all is deliberately coarse. There is no per-subcommand node, so anyone holding it can
create, unload, evacuate and delete worlds. Grant it to administrators only, and use
iris.treefeller for the one player-facing feature.
