Creating custom commands is not difficult with Skript, but remember that Skript is not suitable for creating aliases of other plugins' commands, only for creating completely new commands, as arguments are parsed differently than how most other plugins do it.

The basic syntax of a custom command definition is a follows:

A command's arguments look like <argtype> or <argtype = default value>, e.g. <item> or <item=water bucket>. The default value can also be an expression, in which case it has to be put into percent signs: <item=%tool%>.

Arguments can also be mixed with text, e.g. a /give command definition can look like the following: command /give <items> to <player>: This command could then be used like /give a diamond to Njol.

You can make parts of the arguments of a command optional by putting them into [square brackets], e.g. a command that finds mobs of a certain type within a given radius can look like command /find <entity type> [in radius <integer=100>]. This command can be used like /find creepers or /find zombies in radius 20, where the radius will default to 100 if omitted.

In the likely case that this was confusing here's a simple example command:


Custom commands can be defined anywhere in a script file; the command basically replaces the event a trigger would normally need. If a command is related to some triggers I recommend to put the command into the same file as the triggers, otherwise put it into whatever file fits best. You could e.g. create a big file that contains all standalone commands, or create a separate file for every command.

The following is an example of a combined trigger/command script which allows you to spawn a healer villager that can heal players for gold:
