Private messaging can break gameplay by allowing hidden information to be shared between players. This module intercepts message commands before they execute to ensure fair play.

Commands such as /msg, /tell, and /w are blocked when the sender or at least one target is in an active game. They are allowed if neither player is in a game, or if the sender and target are the same person.

disabled: false
  • false → Command blocking is active.
  • true → No commands are blocked.
legacy: false
  • false → Automatically intercepts private message commands (recommended).
  • true → Only blocks the commands explicitly listed under commands:.

Only used when legacy: true. Lists the commands to block:

commands:
- msg
- tell
- w

Add any additional aliases your server uses.


Enables animated skin transitions when a player changes form (e.g. the Morphling role). A valid MineSkin API key must be set in secrets.properties. If disabled, skin changes happen instantly without any animation.

enabled: false
  • true → Animated morph transitions.
  • false → Instant skin switch.
blender: virus

The animation style used during a morph:

  • virus – Viral spreading animation.
  • fade – Smooth fade transition.
  • checker – Checkerboard blending.
visibility: auto

Controls the visibility of generated skins on MineSkin:

  • auto – Automatically selects the best option based on your plan (recommended).
  • unlisted – Accessible via direct link only.
  • private – Only visible to your MineSkin account.
  • public – Visible to everyone (not recommended).
