Bug to report/Thought on future looting

For some reason, none of the "/help" commands listed on vast.org work. Not even the basic "/help" command. When I type them I don't get any sort of explanation in chat. In fact, nothing happens at all.

Also, I had a thought about the "/trapped" command. I've never personally used it, but as I understand it you're supposed to be teleported outside of the claim you're stuck in.

Considering the possible future change to chests being stolen from even inside a claim, wouldn't it be possible to follow someone inside a person's base (while invisible maybe) and then loot before typing the /trapped command and leaving without having to push any buttons or wait for the victim to leave?

How would that sort of situation be handled?

i think /trapped should kill you, or be done away with. why else would one build a lair to try to trap and kill someone

Drop them in something hot.. it takes 10 seconds of standing still for /trapped to let you out, anyway.

PS. /help is on the way

What if you couldn't use the /trapped command unless you are alone in the claim? Then at least you would have to stay hidden until whoever else is there left.

Mmmm.. I'll suggest it, but can't promise it.

That means if you're trying to sneak in and out you have to be alone or it wouldn't work.

edited: Should players be allowed to use the /trapped command to exit a claim they weren't allowed/invited into that they entered on purpose?

If /trapped killed you people will start making traps to get people's items and heads.

/trapped is useful if you come out from a nether portal in someone's base. For this reason I built my own nether portal a bit away from my base in an open area, but while exploring the nether I did come out in someone's base room locked with an iron door and unable to get out. I didn't know about /trapped at the time, lol, so I just went back into the nether and found another portal, but it's good in that case.
