CommandGuard
A cross-platform command blocker and tab-complete manager for Paper/Spigot, Velocity, and Waterfall.
Control exactly which commands each player can execute and see in tab-complete — using a flexible permission group system with inheritance, priority, and per-server rules.
Features
- Tab-complete filtering — players only see commands they're allowed to use
- Command blocking — block commands with fully customizable actions (message, title, sound, kick, potion effect, console command)
- Whitelist mode — allow only specific commands, block everything else
- Permission groups — define groups with different command lists, assign via LuckPerms
- Group inheritance — groups can extend other groups recursively
- Group merging — groups with equal priority are merged automatically
- Per-server groups — restrict a group to specific backend servers (proxy only)
- Cross-server sync — proxy pushes its allowed commands to backend via plugin messaging so tab-complete is consistent across the network
- Spy-client protection — blocks tab-complete packet responses for hidden commands
- Multi-language —
en_ENandru_RUbundled, add your own lang file - Configurable prefix — change the plugin prefix in the lang file, no restart needed
/cg check <player>— inspect which group and commands a player has/cg updategroup <player>— push updated tab list to a player instantly

Network Setup
Install CommandGuard on both the proxy and each backend server, set is_network: true on both sides. The proxy will automatically push its allowed command list to the backend on every player connection — no relog needed after /cgv reload.
