-In vanilla Minecraft, they are usually used as method references, such as static methods named ''register'' under classes named ''XXXCommand''. 
  
 The integer can be considered the result of the command. Typically negative values mean a command has failed and will do nothing. A result of ''0'' means the command has passed. Positive values mean the command was successful and did something. The integer can be considered the result of the command. Typically negative values mean a command has failed and will do nothing.

 **Please ensure you import the correct static method.** The method ''literal'' is ''CommandManager.literal''.

-In the ''sendFeedback'' method, the first parameter is the text to be sent, which is a ''Text'' in versions below 1.20, or a ''Supplier<Text>'' since 1.20. The second parameter determines whether to broadcast the feedback to other operators. If the command is to //query// something without actually affecting the world, such as query the current time or some player's score, it should be ''false''. If the command actually //does// something, such as changing the time or modifying someone's score, it should be ''true''. If game rule ''sendCommandFeedback'' is false, you will not accept any feedback.+In the ''sendFeedback'' method, the first parameter is the text to be sent, which is a ''Text'' in versions below 1.20, or a ''Supplier<Text>'' in 1.20 and above (this is used to avoid instantiating ''Text'' objects when not needed, so please do not use ''Suppliers.ofInstance'' or smiliar methods). The second parameter determines whether to broadcast the feedback to other operators. If the command is to //query// something without actually affecting the world, such as query the current time or some player's score, it should be ''false''. If the command actually //does// something, such as changing the time or modifying someone's score, it should be ''true''. If game rule ''sendCommandFeedback'' is false, you will not accept any feedback. If the sender is modifed through ''/execute as ...'', the feedback is sent to the original sender.
  
 If the command fails, instead of calling ''sendFeedback'', you may directly throw a ''CommandSyntaxException'' or ''<yarn class_2164>''.

-* **Issues with generics:** You may have an issue with generics once in a while. If you are registering server command (which is most of the case), make sure you are using ''CommandManager.literal(...)'' or ''CommandManager.argument(...)'' instead ''LiteralArgumentBuilder.literal'' or ''RequiredArgumentBuilder.argument'' in your static imports.+  * **Issues with generics:** You may have an issue with generics once in a while.

 +  * **Check ''sendFeedback'' method:** You may have forgotten to provide a boolean as the second argument. Also remember that, since 1.20, the first parameter is ''Supplier<Text>'' instead of ''Text''
 +  * **''Command'' should return an integer:** When registering commands, the ''executes'' method accepts a ''Command'' object, which is usually a lambda. The lambda should return an integer, instead of other types.

 You can also do this, however it is much less stable than registering commands and could cause unwanted side effects. To keep things simple, you need to use reflection on brigadier and remove the nodes. After this, you need to send the command tree to every player again using ''sendCommandTree(ServerPlayerEntity)''. If you don't send the updated command tree, the client may think a command still exists, even though the server will fail execution. You can also do this, however it is much less stable than registering commands and could cause unwanted side effects.

 +===== Can I execute command without typing in game? =====
 +Yes! You can. Before trying the next code, take note it works on Fabric 0.91.6+1.20.2 and it was not tested in other versions.
 +
 +Here is the code example
 +
 +<code java>
 +    private void vanillaCommandByPlayer(World world, BlockPos pos, String command) {
 +        PlayerEntity player = world.getClosestPlayer(pos.getX(), pos.getY(), pos.getZ(), 5, false);
 +        if (player != null) {
 +            CommandManager commandManager = Objects.requireNonNull(player.getServer()).getCommandManager();
 +            ServerCommandSource commandSource = player.getServer().getCommandSource();
 +            commandManager.executeWithPrefix(commandSource, command);
 +        }
 +    }
 +</code>
 +
 +First, you need a CommandManager<ServerCommandSource>.
 +Second, you need the ServerCommandSource.
 +Then, u can call some CommandManager public methods like commandeManader.execute. (.execute need ParseResults<ServerCommandSource>)
 +But commandeManader.executeWithPrefix allow you to use String. You can also put the slash (/).
 +
 +So... have fun!
