CommandAllow
CommandAllow gives you precise control over server commands with a clean allowlist. Define exactly which commands each group may use; everything else is denied by default. Groups can inherit from one another, so you can build simple or advanced rank ladders without repeating lists.
When a command is denied, players get instant, customizable feedback: MiniMessage chat text, actionbar notifications, and optional sounds. With ProtocolLib, tab-complete and the client’s command list update immediately on reload—no relog required. Built for performance, CommandAllow caches results and automatically invalidates them when permissions or groups change. Simple configuration, /commandallow reload (or /ca reload), and sensible defaults make it easy to drop in and use.
