Profanity Guard

Profanity Guard is a Minecraft mod designed to help server owners maintain a cleaner and more respectful in-game chat environment. By utilizing datapacks, Profanity Guard enables customizable and comprehensive filtering of profanity, ensuring a positive experience for all players.

Key Features:

• Customizable Word Filters: Server owners can easily expand or modify the profanity list using .json files. This allows for tailored filtering to suit the unique needs of each server.
• Flexible Word Management: The mod supports aliases and common misspellings, making it highly effective at identifying and blocking variations of offensive terms.
• Profanity Replacement: Words flagged as profanity are replaced with # (hashtags) to obscure offensive language while maintaining the flow of conversation.
• Simple Integration Path: To add new words to the filter, place the .json files in the following path:

  data/<id>/profanity/<filename>.json
  

  Replace <id> with your datapack’s namespace and <filename> with your chosen name for the file.

Example .json Configuration:

To add a new word to the filter, server owners can create a .json file in their datapack using the following structure:

{
  "this_is_the_main_profanity_word": [
    {
      "aliases": [
        "These_are_common_typos_or_aliases_of_the_word"
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Additional Notes:

• Add Multiple Words in a Single File: It's perfectly fine to include multiple profanity words and their aliases in the same .json file, making management efficient and organized.
• Naming Flexibility: The .json file names are unrelated to the parsing process. You can name them however you like, as long as they follow Minecraft's naming conventions (lowercase only).
• Automatic Loading: Any file placed in the profanity folder will automatically load, simplifying setup and updates.

With Profanity Guard, maintaining a respectful chat atmosphere has never been easier or more efficient. Customize your filters, ensure inclusivity, and create a welcoming community for all players.
