One of the best reasons to own a Murder Mystery 2 (MM2) private server is the access to commands that let you control the game experience for everyone in your lobby. MM2 private server commands allow the owner to assign roles, change maps, skip rounds, and manage players — turning what would otherwise be a random public experience into something fully customisable for you and your friends. This guide covers every command and how to use them correctly.
How to use MM2 private server commands
Commands in MM2 private servers are entered through the in-game chat. As the private server owner, type the command with the correct prefix and syntax directly into chat. Commands are only available to the person who owns the private server — regular players cannot use them.
The general format is:
:commandname [argument]
Some commands require a player username as the argument. Use the exact Roblox username (case-sensitive may vary by command).
Full MM2 private server command list
| Command | Syntax | What It Does |
|---|---|---|
| :murderer | :murderer [username] | Forces the specified player to be the murderer next round |
| :sheriff | :sheriff [username] | Forces the specified player to be the sheriff next round |
| :innocent | :innocent [username] | Sets a player as innocent for next round |
| :skip | :skip | Skips the current round immediately |
| :map | :map [mapname] | Forces a specific map to load next round |
| :random | :random | Resets role assignments to fully random |
| :kill | :kill [username] | Eliminates a specific player in the current round |
| :revive | Not available | No revive command exists in MM2 private servers |
| :kickall | :kickall | Kicks all players from the server (owner stays) |
Note: The exact available commands can change with game updates. Always verify against the current MM2 changelog or community documentation if a command is not working.
Tips for running MM2 private server sessions
Assigning roles for fun modes
One of the most popular uses of private server commands is setting up custom game modes. For example:
- Murderer vs everyone: Assign one player as murderer every round using
:murdererand let others be innocents with no sheriff. - Sheriff practice: Assign yourself or a friend as sheriff every round using
:sheriffto practice gunplay. - Free-for-all murder rounds: Assign multiple players as murderer (note: game mechanics may have limits on this depending on the current version).
Controlling map rotation
Using :map lets you keep your group on a favourite map or cycle through maps your friends enjoy. Map names are typically the in-game name of the map — check the MM2 wiki for the exact string the game accepts.
Managing disruptive players
The :kick and :kickall commands are useful for managing your lobby if someone is being disruptive. Note that kicked players can rejoin unless you lock the server or maintain a friends-only invite.
Getting a MM2 private server
Private servers in MM2 are purchased using Robux. The monthly cost is set by the MM2 developer (NikilisRBX) and may vary — check the MM2 game page for the current price. Once purchased, you keep the server as long as your Robux subscription payment continues.
Private servers are particularly valuable for traders who want a safe, controlled environment for high-value trades, as well as for friend groups who want to play without random players.
FAQ
Can other players use commands in my MM2 private server?
No. Private server commands in MM2 are restricted to the server owner. Other players, even friends you invite, cannot use the command list.
What happens if I type a command wrong?
Nothing happens — the chat message just appears as a normal chat line. Double-check the syntax and try again.
Can I ban a specific player from my MM2 private server permanently?
MM2 does not have a built-in permanent ban list for private servers. You can kick players, but they can rejoin. To prevent re-entry, you would need to control invites manually or rely on Roblox's block feature.
Do private server commands work in every MM2 game mode?
Commands generally apply to the standard MM2 game loop. Certain limited-time event modes may override or restrict some commands.
Is there a command to give players items or Robux?
No. MM2 private server commands cannot grant items, knives, or Robux. Item distribution only happens through the in-game trade system or the Roblox shop.
