Command Whitelist Plugin FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I whitelist a command for a specific player?
Use `/whitelist add [player] [command]` where [player] is the username and [command] is the full command path (e.g., `/whitelist add Steve give`). The player will then be able to execute that command while others cannot.
Can I whitelist a command for multiple players at once?
No, you must add each player individually using separate `/whitelist add` commands. There is no bulk-add feature, so you'll need to run the command once per player per command.
What's the difference between blocking a command and blocking a subcommand?
Blocking a command prevents the entire command from running, while blocking a subcommand lets the parent command execute but prevents specific variations—for example, you could allow `/give` but block `/give enchant`.
How do I hide a command from tab completion without blocking it?
Use the tab completion blocking feature to prevent the command from appearing in the autocomplete list while still allowing players who know the command to execute it manually.
Can I change the 'command not found' message to something custom?
Yes, the plugin lets you overwrite the default 'no such command' message with your own text, allowing you to brand the message or provide custom instructions to blocked players.
Do I need to restart the server after adding a player to a whitelist?
No, whitelist changes take effect immediately without requiring a server restart.
Can I whitelist commands for permission groups instead of individual players?
Yes, the plugin supports permission-based whitelisting, allowing you to lock commands behind specific permissions that can be assigned to groups through your permission manager.
What happens if I whitelist a subcommand but not the parent command?
The parent command will be blocked, preventing access to both the parent and the subcommand unless you explicitly whitelist the parent as well.
Can players see whitelisted commands in their help menu?
Whitelisted commands may still appear in help menus depending on your configuration; use the tab completion blocking feature if you want to hide them from discovery.
How do I remove a player from a command whitelist?
Use `/whitelist remove [player] [command]` to revoke a player's access to that specific command.
