CommandAllow

CommandAllow gives you precise control over server commands with a clean allowlist. Define exactly which commands each group may use; everything else is denied by default. Groups can inherit from one another, so you can build simple or advanced rank ladders without repeating lists.

When a command is denied, players get instant, customizable feedback: MiniMessage chat text, actionbar notifications, and optional sounds. With ProtocolLib, tab-complete and the client’s command list update immediately on reload—no relog required. Built for performance, CommandAllow caches results and automatically invalidates them when permissions or groups change. Simple configuration, /commandallow reload (or /ca reload), and sensible defaults make it easy to drop in and use.

Features:

• Simple Command Allowlist: Only allow the commands you want. Deny everything else.
• Group System with Inheritance: Create ranks that inherit commands from each other.
• LuckPerms & Permissions Support: Automatically uses LuckPerms groups or falls back to standard permission nodes (commandallow.group.vip).
• Custom Feedback: Full MiniMessage support for chat and actionbar messages.
• Custom Sounds: Set unique sounds for denied commands.
• Secure Tab-Complete: Players only see commands they can actually use.
• Easy to Use: Clean config and a simple reload command.
