This plugin is a comprehensive chat and content management tool designed to help server owners maintain a family-friendly and clean environment. It automatically filters inappropriate language from multiple sources and gives administrators easy-to-use tools to manage the word list in-game.



Core Features:

1. Real-time Chat Filtering:
   • The plugin actively scans every message sent in the server chat.
     
     
   • If a message contains a word from the configurable banned-words list, the message is blocked completely.
     
     
   • The player who sent the message receives a private error telling them their message was inappropriate.
     
     
2. Sign Censoring:
   
   • When a player creates or edits a sign, the plugin scans all four lines for banned words.
     
     
   • Instead of blocking the sign, it automatically censors the bad word by replacing it with asterisks (e.g., ****).
     
     
   • The filter is smart and only censors whole words, preventing mistakes like censoring the "ass" in "grass".
     
     
   • The player receives a private warning that their sign was censored.
     
     
3. Book & Quill Censoring:
   
   • When a player signs a Book and Quill, the plugin scans every page for banned words.
     
     
   • Just like with signs, it censors any inappropriate words with asterisks.
     
     
   • The player is notified that their book has been censored.
     
     
     
4. Admin Management Commands:
   
   • The plugin includes a powerful /chatfilter command for administrators.
     
     
   • /chatfilter add <word>: Instantly adds a new word to the filter list.
     
     
   • /chatfilter remove <word>: Removes a word from the filter list.
     
     
   • /chatfilter list: Shows all currently banned words.
     
     
   • /chatfilter reload: Reloads the banned words from the config.yml file without needing to restart the server.
     
5. Permission Support:
   
   • chatfilter.admin: Grants access to the /chatfilter command. (Default: OP)
     
     
   • chatfilter.bypass: Allows players with this permission to use banned words in chat, on signs, and in books without being blocked or censored. (Default: OP)
     
6. Auto-Capitalization:
   
   • A small cosmetic feature that automatically capitalizes the first letter of every player's chat message, making the chat look cleaner and more uniform. This does not affect commands.
