🌐 Website • 💬 Support

ChatGuard is a lightweight chat filter and anti-spam plugin for Spigot & Paper servers (1.13+). It allows server owners to automatically filter out undesirable words and phrases from in-game chat, with options to censor or block messages entirely.

One plugin. Clean chat. No spam. Configurable word filter, anti-spam detection, and bypass permissions — all with simple configuration.

✨ Features

📋 Configuration

ChatGuard uses a simple YAML configuration where you can define:

• A list of banned words and phrases
• Filter mode: censor (replace with asterisks) or block (prevent the message entirely)
• Anti-spam sensitivity settings

🔐 Permissions

📦 Installation

1. Download the latest version from this page
2. Place the .jar file in your server's plugins/ folder
3. Restart your server
4. Configure the banned word list in plugins/ChatGuard/config.yml

💡 Also Available in Prefix

All ChatGuard features are also being integrated into Prefix — our all-in-one chat management plugin. If you want chat filtering and chat prefixes, tablist management, group colors, and more, you only need Prefix. One plugin, everything included.

Tip: Using both plugins? Consider switching to just Prefix — it will include everything ChatGuard offers, plus much more.
