AdminGuard
by BlazeyCrazey
AdminGuard is a Forge server mod that blocks commands server admins should not run casually, such as gamemode, op, fill and WorldEdit commands.
What it does
When a server admin types a command on the blocklist, AdminGuard stops it and shows a red BLOCKED message next to the disabled commands in the help listing, which is paginated. Each blocked attempt is written to the log with the player name, the command and a timestamp. Bypass attempts that use namespace forms such as minecraft:give are caught automatically as well.
The list of blocked commands lives in adminguard.toml, which is generated in the config folder on the first run. Commands can be added or removed there, and changes take effect without restarting the server. The blocklist covers more than 40 vanilla commands, including time, weather and execute, and it also covers single-slash WorldEdit variants such as brush and schematic.
Players join without installing anything, since only the server needs the mod. AdminGuard targets Minecraft Forge 1.16.5 and is released under the Apache License 2.0. It is not open source. The optional WorldEdit CUI (Unofficial Forge Port) dependency is listed for players who use the client-side WorldEdit tools.
