Profanity Guard is a Minecraft mod designed to help server owners maintain a more respectful in-game chat environment. By using datapacks, Profanity Guard enables customizable filtering of profanity.

Features:

• Customizable Word Filters: Server owners can easily expand or modify the profanity list using .json files.
• Flexible Word Management: The mod supports aliases and common misspellings, making it possible to easily blocking variations of offensive terms.
• Profanity Replacement: Words flagged as profanity are replaced with # (hashtags) by default, but server owners can customize this replacement character.
• Customizable Replacement Characters: Using the "replacement" tag, server owners can specify a custom character to replace profanity words instead of the standard #.
• Simple Integration Path: To add new words to the filter, place the .json files in the following path:

data/<id>/profanity/<filename>.json

Replace <id> with your datapack’s namespace and <filename> with your chosen name for the file.

Example .json Configuration:

To add a new word to the filter, server owners can create a .json file in their datapack using the following structure:

    {
      "this_is_the_main_profanity_word": [
        {
          "aliases": [
            "These_are_common_typos_or_aliases_of_the_word"
          ],
          "replacement": "*"
        }
      ]
    }

Additional Notes:

• Add Multiple Words in a Single File: It's perfectly fine to include multiple profanity words and their aliases in the same .json file.
• Naming Flexibility: The .json file names are unrelated to the parsing process. You can name them however you like, as long as they follow Minecraft's naming conventions (lowercase only, no spaces, etc etc).
• Automatic Loading: Any file placed in the profanity folder will automatically load.
