Hide which plugins your Minecraft server runs, and find out who goes looking.
PluginGuard blocks /plugins, /version, namespaced commands like
/essentials:home, TAB probing, the server brand, plugin channels and the query
answer. Every blocked command gets the same reply a made-up command gets, so
players can't tell what was hidden. Staff are warned in chat or Discord when
someone probes.
Read the guide to install and set it up.
| Your server | Download | Java |
|---|---|---|
| Minecraft 1.21.x | PluginGuard-<version>.jar |
21 |
| Minecraft 26.1 or 26.2 | PluginGuard-<version>-mc26.jar |
25 |
| Minecraft 26.3 | PluginGuard-<version>-mc263.jar |
25 |
Works on Paper, Purpur, Folia and other Paper forks. Spigot works too, without the brand, channel and query hiding.
Get it from Modrinth or GitHub Releases.
