10 questions players actually ask, answered.

What does the Privacy Mod do?
It prevents private messages from being shown in the server console. Commands like /msg, /whisper, and /tell still work normally for players, but their contents are hidden from console logs.
Which Minecraft versions does Privacy support?
It supports Minecraft 1.21.11, 26.1, 26.1.1, 26.1.2, 26.2, and 26.3.
What mod loaders does Privacy work with?
It runs on Bukkit, Paper, Purpur, and Spigot.
Does Privacy add new items or blocks?
No. It is a server-side plugin that only changes how messaging commands are logged, so it does not add any items, blocks, or mobs.
Which commands does Privacy hide from console?
By default it hides standard messaging commands such as /msg, /whisper, /tell, /w, /r, and /reply. The blocked command list is customizable in the config.
Can staff still see private messages with Privacy?
Yes. There is a permission-based bypass system and optional admin notifications when protected commands are used. An optional logging system is also available for administrative oversight.
Does Privacy change how /msg or /tell work for players?
No. Commands function identically and only the logging changes, so there is no change to gameplay or command behavior.
What permission does Privacy use?
The privacylock.admin permission grants access to plugin commands and configuration.
How do I apply config changes in Privacy?
Edit the config.yml file, then use /privacylock reload to apply the changes. A full restart is recommended when installing the plugin.
Does Privacy affect server performance?
No. The plugin is described as lightweight with no performance impact on the server.
