Commander

Commander is a powerful Minecraft server plugin that gives you complete control over command visibility, permissions, and registration. Clean up your command list, enhance security, and customize your server's command experience.

Features

Command Management

• Hide Commands: Control which commands appear in tab completion
• Unregister Commands: Completely remove commands from the server

Permission Control

• Override Permissions: Set custom permissions on any command
• Query Permissions: Check current permission settings
• Add Security: Restrict commands that originally had no permissions

Configuration

• JSON Configuration: Simple, human-readable configuration files
• Hot Reload: Apply changes without server restart
• Manual Editing: Direct configuration file access

Quick Start

Basic Usage

The main command of Commander is /command (or /commandv on the proxy),
and requires the permission commander.admin:

# Hide commands from players
/command hide plugins
/command hide pl

# Add permissions to unrestricted commands
/command permission set luckperms luckperms.use

# Remove dangerous commands entirely
/command unregister op
/command unregister deop

# Save your changes (not required)
/command save

Common Scenarios

Clean Command List

Hide administrative commands from regular players:

/command hide plugins
/command hide version

Security Hardening

Remove dangerous commands:

/command unregister op
/command unregister deop

Plugin Integration

Add permissions to plugin commands that lack them:

/command permission set luckperms luckperms.use
/command permission set eco economy.admin

Permission System

Required Permissions

• commander.admin - Access to all Commander commands
• commander.bypass - See hidden commands (wildcard permissions ignored)

Permission Override

Commander can override permissions on (almost) any command, even those from other plugins.
This allows you to:

• Add permissions to unrestricted commands
• Change existing permissions
• Create world-specific or group-specific command access

Wildcard Support

Commander supports powerful wildcard patterns for bulk operations on commands:

Wildcard Patterns

• * - Matches any command name
• *:* - Matches any namespaced command (commands with colons)
• prefix:* - Matches all commands with a specific namespace prefix
• *suffix - Matches all commands ending with a specific suffix

Configuration Files

Commander stores settings in three JSON files:

• hidden-commands.json - List of hidden commands
• unregistered-commands.json - List of unregistered commands
• permission-overrides.json - Command permission overrides

Use Cases

• Clean up command clutter for players
• Remove dangerous commands like /op and /deop
• Add security layers to plugin commands
• Create context-specific command access
