Options and how to configure config.yml:


===== BASIC SETTINGS =====
Hide Mode Options:

• "unknown-command": Shows "Unknown command" message (most realistic)
• "empty": Shows "Plugins (0):"
• "fake-list": Shows configured fake plugins below
• "permission-denied": Shows permission error message

Fake plugins to display when hide-mode: "fake-list" (Use vanilla-sounding names to appear legitimate)
Permission node to bypass all plugin hiding (staff/admin only)
===== COMMAND PROTECTION =====
Commands to intercept and hide (supports bukkit: and minecraft: prefixes)
Block all bukkit: and minecraft: prefixed commands (prevents probing)
Redirect bukkit: commands to show spoofed list instead of blocking Only works if block-bukkit-commands: true
===== TAB COMPLETION PROTECTION =====
Remove plugin commands from tab-completion suggestions Prevents discovery through /[tab] probing
===== ADVANCED PROTECTION =====
Block unknown commands with permission errors Returns "Unknown command" even if the player lacks permission Prevents probing for plugin existence via permission responses
Common plugin commands to block (case-insensitive) Add popular plugin commands that users might probe for
Block common plugin commands from the list above
===== SERVER METADATA PROTECTION =====
Hide server software in query responses and MOTD ping Prevents protocol-level discovery
Fake server brand to display (e.g., "vanilla", "1.21.1", "custom")
===== AGGRESSIVE MODE =====
AGGRESSIVE MODE: Block ALL plugin commands for players without explicit permission
WARNING: This will hide even beneficial plugin commands for regular players.
Use only if you want maximum security and manually grant command permissions
Requires players to have <command>.use permission to use any plugin command
