CommandWorld
A plugin to seperate world chats with groups or per world, with staff chat and also command visibility and accessibility for players, with worldgroups and luckperms. Makes your server feel like a proxy
🌍 CommandWorld
Per-world command control and chat isolation for Paper, Purpur, Spigot, and Bukkit servers. Granular whitelist/blacklist rules per world, world group, and LuckPerms group — with a fully-featured staff communication suite. Built for networks, SMPs, minigame servers, and any multi-world setup.
🔍 Why CommandWorld?
Most Minecraft servers with multiple worlds suffer from the same problem — players can run any command from anywhere, chat bleeds across worlds, and staff have no clean way to communicate privately. CommandWorld solves all of it in one lean, zero-database plugin.
- 🔒 Granular command control — whitelist or blacklist any command per scope: global, world, world group, or LuckPerms group
- 🌐 World-isolated chat — players only see messages from their own world or world group
- 📢 Global chat override — prefix a message with ! to broadcast across all worlds instantly
- 👮 Staff chat — a dedicated private channel for your staff team, toggleable per session
- 🕵️ Chat spy — staff can silently monitor chat across every world at once
- ⚙️ Live config editing via commands — add/remove/list command rules without ever touching a file
- 🏅 LuckPerms integration — apply command rules directly to LP permission groups with highest priority
- 🔄 Hot reload — all changes apply live with /cw reload
🛡️ Command Control System
Block or allow any command anywhere on your server, down to the individual player rank.
🎯 Scope Priority (Highest → Lowest)
- LuckPerms Group — per-rank rules (e.g. admin, mod, vip, default)
- World Group — shared rules across linked worlds (e.g. survival, lobby, minigame)
- Individual World — override rules for a specific world
- Global Default — fallback rules applied everywhere else
✅ Whitelist / Blacklist Modes
- Whitelist — only listed commands are allowed and visible
- Blacklist — all commands are allowed except listed ones
- Each scope has its own independent mode, configurable at any time
🔕 Tab-Complete Suppression
- Command rules apply to both execution and tab-complete separately
- Players in restricted worlds won't even see blocked commands when pressing Tab
🚫 Default-Deny by Default
- Out of the box, the default LuckPerms group is set to whitelist with an empty list — players can use zero commands until you open them up
- Admins are set to blacklist with an empty list — full access to everything by default
💬 Chat System
Per-world chat isolation, cooldowns, filtered words, join/leave messages, and full MiniMessage formatting.
🌏 World-Isolated Chat
- Players only receive messages from their own world or world group
- Configurable join/leave messages scoped to each world group

📢 Global Chat
- Any player can prefix a message with ! to send it across all worlds

🎨 Chat Formatting

👮 Staff Tools
💬 Staff Chat (/staffchat, /sc)

- Or send a one-off staff message without toggling
- Optional sound on receipt
