️PlayerPrivacy
Ensure player privacy while retaining moderation control.
PlayerPrivacy is a lightweight plugin that hides all player IP addresses from the console and logs — perfect for privacy-conscious servers. Despite scrubbing IPs, staff can still issue IP bans when needed for rule-breaking players.

✨ Features

• Automatically hides player IPs from latest.log and server console
  
  
• Scrubs IPs in real-time using in-plugin log filtering and file editing
  
  
• Compatible with AuthMe, Essentials, Foila, and other login plugins
  
  
• Still allows /banip for staff moderation (does not block IP functionality)
  
  
• Configurable and minimal setup

How It Works

• On every server start and periodically, the plugin scrubs latest.log and removes all IPv4 addresses.
  
  
• Log filters prevent IPs from printing to console on join, disconnect, or login.
  
  
• The plugin ensures moderation commands like /banip still function as intended.

Installation

1. Drop PlayerPrivacy.jar into your /plugins folder.
   
   
2. Start the server. A default config will be created (if needed).
   
   
3. That’s it — logs and console are now IP-free!

Use Cases

• Privacy-first Minecraft communities
  
  
• GDPR-compliant or anonymized server environments
  
  
• Public/YouTube servers where console/logs may be shared

Example Log (Before → After)
Before:

[INFO]: player123[/123.45.67.89:25565] logged in with entity id 12

After:

[INFO]: player123[[IP HIDDEN]] logged in with entity id 12

Disclaimer
This plugin focuses on privacy, but IP bans are still effective. It only hides IPs from logs — not from the server’s internal use.
