Configuration

CommandGuard generates its config automatically on first start. The backend and proxy have separate config files.

File Locations

plugins/CommandGuard/config.yml           ← Paper / Spigot
plugins/CommandGuard/velocity-config.yml  ← Velocity
plugins/CommandGuard/bungee-config.yml    ← Waterfall / BungeeCord

config.yml — Backend (Paper / Spigot)

# Language file to use. Files are located in the lang/ folder.
# Bundled languages: en_EN, ru_RU
lang: en_EN

`lang`

Language used for all plugin messages.

Available values: en_EN, ru_RU (or any custom file you place in lang/)

`tab`

Groups that define which commands appear in a player's tab-complete list.

tab:
  default:
    priority: 0
    commands: []

  vip:
    priority: 1
    extends: default
    commands:
      - "/home"
      - "/tpa"

Each group has the following options:

Option	Type	Description
`priority`	integer	Which group wins when a player has multiple. Higher = wins
`commands`	list	Commands shown in tab-complete for this group
`extends`	string	Inherit all commands from another group
`servers`	list	(Proxy only) Limit the group to specific backend servers

к сведению

The default group applies to all players automatically. Do not remove it.

`blocked_command_default_actions`

Actions executed when a player tries to use a blocked command.

blocked_command_default_actions:
  - "message: &cYou can't use that command."
  - "playsound: BLOCK_NOTE_BLOCK_PLING;10;0.1"
  - "title: 20;40;20;&cBlocked!;&7Don't use that command!"

Available actions:

Action	Format	Example
`message`	`message: <text>`	`message: &cNo permission!`
`title`	`title: fadeIn;stay;fadeOut;title;subtitle`	`title: 20;40;20;&cBlocked;&7Stop`
`playsound`	`playsound: SOUND;volume;pitch`	`playsound: BLOCK_NOTE_BLOCK_PLING;10;0.1`
`console_command`	`console_command: <cmd>`	`console_command: kick %player% Bye`
`give_potion_effect`	`give_potion_effect: TYPE;duration;level`	`give_potion_effect: BLINDNESS;100;1`

Color codes (&a, &c...) and hex colors (#ff5555) are supported in messages and titles.

Available placeholder in actions: %player%

`update_notify`

Show update notifications to OP players on join.

update_notify: true

`is_network`

Enable TabSync — proxy pushes its allowed commands to this backend.

is_network: false

Set to true on both the proxy and backend when running a network setup. See Cross-Server Setup.

`legacy_support`

Enable tab-complete packet filtering for 1.12 and older clients.

legacy_support: false

Requires ProtocolLib. Restart the server after changing this option.

`use_commands_as_whitelist`

Flip the commands list from a blacklist to a whitelist.

use_commands_as_whitelist: false

Value	Behavior
`false`	Commands in the list are blocked
`true`	Commands in the list are allowed, everything else is blocked

`commands`

The list of commands to block (or allow, if use_commands_as_whitelist: true).

commands:
  - "/plugins"
  - "/pl"
  - "/version"
  - "/ver"
  - "/about"
  - "/bukkit:version"
  - "/bukkit:plugins"

подсказка

Commands must start with /. Use lowercase — the plugin matches case-insensitively.

`block_colon_commands`

Block all commands that contain : (e.g. /minecraft:gamemode, /bukkit:ver).

block_colon_commands: false

`custom_commands_actions`

Override the default blocked-command actions for specific commands.

custom_commands_actions:
  example1:
    commands:
      - "/ver"
      - "/version"
    actions:
      - "console_command: kick %player% You can't check the server version!"

Each entry under custom_commands_actions is a named group with:

commands — which blocked commands trigger these actions
actions — same action format as blocked_command_default_actions

The commands listed here must also be present in the main commands list.

velocity-config.yml / bungee-config.yml — Proxy

The proxy configs have the same options as the backend, plus two additional ones:

# Same as backend config
lang: en_EN
tab:
  default:
    priority: 0
    commands:
      - "/server"
      - "/hub"
      - "/skin"

blocked_command_default_actions:
  - "message: &cYou can't use that command."

use_commands_as_whitelist: false
update_notify: true
is_network: false
commands:
  - "/velocity"
block_colon_commands: false

Extra proxy-only options

`tab_sync_delay`

Delay in milliseconds before sending TabSync to the backend after a player connects.

tab_sync_delay: 500

Increase this if players connect to slow backend servers and see incomplete tab-complete on join.
