PluginHider+ | Plugin Hider Plus [HIDE YOUR PLUGINS] + [ANTI TAB COMPLETE] + [ALL MESSAGE REPLACE]

PluginHiderPlus (v6.0.0+)
Preserve the uniqueness of your ideas by completely concealing your server software and plugin signatures.

PluginHiderPlus is a lightweight, clean solution designed to protect your server’s identity. It filters command suggestions, blocks administrative commands, customizes your server brand, and intercepts outgoing messages to replace recognizable plugin signatures—keeping your technical stack private.

Key Features (v6.0.0+)

• 100% Modular & Toggleable: Every single feature, filter, and customization listed below can be easily enabled or disabled individually within config.yml to fit your exact server needs.

• Plug & Play Out-of-the-Box: Designed to be dropped straight into your folder. The default configuration includes a comprehensive player-focused command whitelist.
  
  
• Complete Command Blocking: Easily block default plugin-probing commands (such as /plugins, /ver, /about) or define your own custom blocked commands with customized messages.
  
  
• Granular Suggestion Whitelist/Blacklist: Control exactly what commands are visible in the client's tab-complete menu. If a player does not have permission for a command, it remains hidden.
  
  
• Platform-Agnostic Message Replacements: Intercept outbound messages from other plugins and rewrite hardcoded messages with support for wildcards and %player% placeholder. This is fully compatible with both Spigot and Paper.
  
  
• F3 Server Brand Customization: Customization of the server brand displayed on the client's F3 debug screen (e.g., displaying "Vanilla" or your Network Name instead of "Paper/Spigot").
  
  
• Real-Time Command Tree Sync: Running /ph reload or /ph disable instantly forces currently online clients to refresh their command suggestions and network handlers without requiring them to reconnect.

Commands & Permissions

• /ph help | (No Permission) | Displays the plugin help menu.
  
  
• /ph dev | (No Permission) | Displays plugin developer credits.
  
  
• /ph disable | (Permission: pluginhider.disable) | Temporarily disables all plugin features and restores default server completions.
  
  
• /ph reload | (Permission: pluginhider.reload) | Reloads configuration files and dynamically reapplies network pipelines.

Permissions

• pluginhider.view.message: Allows players to execute and view default blocked commands (e.g. /plugins).
  
  
• pluginhider.view.suggestions: Allows players to bypass command suggestion filtering entirely and view all available server suggestions.
  
  
• pluginhider.bypassbc: Allows players to bypass configured custom user blocked commands.

Technical Highlights & Code Safety
The v6.0.0 release is a complete ground-up rewrite targeting Minecraft 1.21.11. It has been designed with maintainability in mind:

• Verified by Automated Testing: Every feature, command, and boundary case is fully covered by automated unit and integration tests (built with JUnit 5 and MockBukkit). This development workflow ensures that the plugin will be very fast to be updated according to the latest Minecraft releases.
• Zero ProtocolLib Dependency: Unlike older versions, version 6.0.0+ does not require ProtocolLib to intercept outbound chat packets. It is completely lightweight and self-contained, greatly reducing server overhead and dependency-related update delays.

⚠️ Legacy Versions & Discontinued Support Notice
For servers running legacy Minecraft versions (from 1.8.8 to 1.15.2), older builds of this plugin (versions 5.x.x and lower) are archived and available for download in the Version History tab.

Versions from 1.16 to 1.20 are not officially supported and will never be, we strongly encourage you to update your server version.

Please note the following before downloading legacy builds:

1. Dependencies: Unlike modern versions, older builds (v5.x and lower) will require ProtocolLib to function.
   
   
2. Feature Discrepancy: Modern features could not be present in legacy versions.
   
   
3. Support Policy: Active development, updates, and support are free of charge and strictly limited to version 6.0.0 and above. Legacy versions are provided as-is, with no active support or maintenance.
