Clean chat. No spam. Full control.
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.
| 🚫 Word Filter | Automatically filters out undesirable words and phrases from in-game chat. |
| 🔇 Censor or Block | Choose between censoring banned words or blocking the entire message. |
| 🛡️ Anti-Spam | Automatically blocks spam messages and sends a warning to the offending player. |
| 🔑 Bypass Permission | chatguard.bypass permission allows trusted staff to bypass the filter. |
| 🚀 Lightweight | No performance impact — does not slow down the server or cause lag. |
ChatGuard uses a simple YAML configuration where you can define:
| Permission | Description |
|---|---|
chatguard.bypass |
Bypass the chat filter and anti-spam system |
.jar file in your server's plugins/ folderplugins/ChatGuard/config.ymlAll 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.
