| alerts | /alerts [enable / disable / mute / unmute] [alert type] | This command will enable, disable, mute or unmute a specified alert, relative to the parameters you specify. |
| clear | /clear | This command clears all previous messages that have been received in the console. |
| color | /color [color name / rgba] | This command will change your color to the specified color (either the name of a color, e.g. 'white', or to an RGBA value). |

| help | /help [command] | If executed without an argument (just '/help'), it will send a list of all commands. If executed with an argument (e.g. '/help color'), detailed help about the specified command will be printed. |
| mute-programmable-speaker | /mute-programmable-speaker [setting] [scope] | This command can be used to both mute and unmute the programmable speaker.

| perf-avg-frames | /perf-avg-frames [tick amount] | This command can be used to define the tick sample size for the average performance counter. This means the amount of ticks that will pass before the performance counter calculates an average. By default, this is set to 100 ticks, so the performance counter would calculate an average based on the past 100 ticks (every 100 ticks). A lower number would mean that an average is calculated more often, and the average would have a lower sample size. |
