mIRC Raw Numeric Codes Reference

IRC servers respond to commands using numeric codes. These raw numerics appear in mIRC's status window and are essential for scripting, debugging connections, and understanding server responses. Parameters shown in orange italics are variable values returned by the server. This reference covers all standard IRC numeric codes used by InspIRCd and compatible servers.

In mIRC scripting, you can catch raw numerics using on *:RAW:001:*:{} syntax. Replace 001 with any numeric below to handle that specific server response in your script.
