Update Checking

FrameProtect checks for new versions every now and then using the spiget API (check only, no download). You can disable this by setting settings.allowUpdateCheck in config.yml to false.

Metrics

FrameProtect sends statistics about the usage to bstats.org. You can disable this for all plugins by setting the option enabled in the YourServerFolder/plugins/bStats/config.yml file to false.
