Welcome to BetterCommandSpy
BetterCommandSpy allows you and your staff to monitor the commands that are sent by users, and even fellow staff. You are able to customize and translate it to your liking; it's the exact command spy tool that your staff will benefit from to achieve their duties.
There are several command spy plugins on this platform, though they always have issues, which ends up affecting how well your staff team is able to operate. A plugin with a simple job, I've decided to produce this to solve the lack of a quality command spy plugin on the platform, aimed to be as simple, dependable, reliable, customizable and performant as can be.
If you're looking to give you or your staff the ability to spy on what commands your users or even your staff are running, BetterCommandSpy is what you are looking for. It's a simple step in improving your server's security.
BetterCommandSpy also pairs brilliantly with my other plugin BlackWidow to offer a total, dependable, and reliable command protection system on your servers.
New: Folia is supported on BetterCommandSpy (thanks yLeoft)
