TabWhitelist! - Command Management

TabWhitelist is a powerful and lightweight Minecraft server plugin designed to give administrators total control over player command visibility and execution. It allows you to hide sensitive server information, block unwanted commands, and create custom rank-based access, ensuring a clean and secure experience for your community. By filtering the tab-completion list and overwriting default system messages, you can fully brand your server's "Unknown Command" response and keep your plugin list private.
