Unregistering Commands

Unregistering a command allows you to completely remove commands from the server.
Unlike hiding, unregistered commands cannot be executed by anyone.

Commands

Unregister a Command

Usage: /command unregister <command>
Completely removes a command from the server.

Examples:

# Unregister specific commands
/command unregister op
/command unregister deop
/command unregister stop

# Unregister all commands (use with extreme caution!)
/command unregister "*"

# Unregister all bukkit namespaced commands
/command unregister "bukkit:*"

# Unregister all namespaced commands
/command unregister "*:*"

Register a Command

Usage: /command register <command>
Restores a previously unregistered command, making it available again.

Examples:

# Register specific commands
/command register op
/command register deop

# Register all unregistered commands
/command register "*"

# Register all bukkit namespaced commands
/command register "bukkit:*"

# Register all namespaced commands
/command register "*:*"

Use Cases

Security Hardening

Remove dangerous commands that should never be used:

/command unregister op
/command unregister deop
/command unregister stop
/command unregister reload

Temporary Disabling

Unregister commands temporarily during events or maintenance:

/command unregister tpa
/command unregister home
/command unregister warp
/command unregister plotmenu

Server-Specific Commands

Unregister commands that don't apply to your server type:

/command unregister gamemode
/command unregister heal
/command unregister fly

Configuration

Unregistered commands are stored in a JSON configuration file.
The file contains a simple array of command names that should be unregistered.

[
  "op",
  "deop",
  "stop",
  "reload"
]

Tips

• Commands are unregistered without the / prefix in the configuration
• Both the main command and aliases should be unregistered if desired
• Use /command reload to reload the configuration if manually edited
• Use /command save to ensure changes are persisted to disk
• Consider using command hiding instead of unregistering if you still want administrators to use the command
