Some commands use multiple words in their name (like /locate and /locatebiome), and if the command parser allows it, it could make them more easily understandable. Here is the list of suggested command changes on Java edition:

ban (ip <target> [<reason>]|list [ips|players]|player <targets> [<reason>])

• ban <targets> [<reason>] replaced with ban player <targets> [<reason>]
• ban-ip <target> [<reason>] replaced with ban ip <target> [<reason>]
• banlist [ips|players] replaced with ban list [ips|players]

gamemode <mode> [<target>|default]

• gamemode <mode> [<target>] unchanged
• defaultgamemode <mode> replaced with gamemode <mode> default

locate (biome <biome ID>|structure <StructureType>)

• locate <StructureType> replaced with locate structure <StructureType>
• locatebiome <biome ID> replaced with locate biome <biome ID>

save (all [flush]|off|on)

• save-all [flush] replaced with save all [flush]
• save-off replaced with save off
• save-on replaced with save on

spawn (player [<targets>]|world) [<pos>] [<angle>]

• spawnpoint [<targets>] [<pos>] [<angle>] replaced with spawn player [<targets>] [<pos>] [<angle>]
• setworldspawn [<pos>] [<angle>] replaced with spawn world [<pos>] [<angle>]

  I agree with the changes to:

  • /ban: This will make more sense in the banning system, similar to how /scoreboard has all its operations in one command.
  • /locate: This will make more sense for sure in how location works.

  I disagree with the changes to:

  • /spawnpoint and /setworldspawn: They need to be two distinct commands. While they both work in the same department, they are not the same and should have clear distinction between setting defaults and setting personal preferences.
  • /gamemode and /defaultgamemode: Just like above, there should be clear distinction between setting defaults and setting personal preferences.

  I would modify the changes to:

  • /save: I agree with merging /save-off and /save-on, but I don't agree with merging that with /save-all. There needs to be clear distinction between setting an autosave to on/off and saving itself. Because of this, I would make two distinct commands: /save to save, and /autosave <off|on> to set the preference of autosaving.
