What it does

Server owners can set which words are filtered through a BANNED WORDS list in the mod's config, and choose how each filtered word is handled. When a player sends a message containing a listed word, the word is censored before others see it, and the player receives a notice that the message was censored. The config can be edited to change the list and the replacement behavior.

The mod is server-side only, so players join without installing it and only the server needs the jar. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source. Files exist for NeoForge 1.21.1 only, with 1.0.1 as the latest beta build, published on 2026-02-06.

Key features

  1. Banned words list

    A BANNED WORDS list in the config sets the words that chat filtering watches for.

  2. Customizable filter type

    Server owners can choose the filter type applied to matched words, changing how they appear in chat.

  3. Censor notice

    A player whose message is censored receives a message saying so, which is configurable.
