IP filter chat

🛡️ IPFilter

Seamlessly protect player privacy by automatically hiding IP addresses from your server. IPFilter is a lightweight, invisible, and highly efficient utility plugin designed for server administrators who want to stop accidental or intentional leaks of IP addresses in chat and command outputs. Whether a player accidentally pastes an IP or a staff member uses a command like /banip in a public channel, IPFilter catches it before it ever reaches other players.

✨ Features

• Intercepts Everything: By utilizing ProtocolLib, IPFilter operates at the packet level. It successfully filters:
  • Regular player chat messages.
  • System messages & command outputs (e.g., /banip, /seen).
  • Disconnect and kick messages.
• Completely Autonomous: There are absolutely no in-game commands to manage. Just drop the plugin in your folder, configure it once, and it runs silently in the background.
• Universal Compatibility: Works seamlessly across almost all versions (from 1.8 up to 1.21+).
• Fully Customizable: You can configure the exact Regular Expression (Regex) used to detect IPs, as well as the replacement string (defaults to **.***.**.**).

⚙️ Configuration

The plugin generates a simple config.yml on first boot.

# The regular expression used to detect IP addresses.
regex: "\b(?:\d{1,3}\.){3}\d{1,3}\b"
# The text that will replace the detected IPs in chat and commands.
replacement: "**.***.**.**"
