Adds an extensive list of heavily customizable and programmable commands and features to modern minecraft servers.
The modern essentials replacement for Minecraft servers. One YAML file controls every utility — homes, warps, teleport requests, vanish, jail, mute, mail, kits, economy, chat formatting — toggleable per-module on Paper, Folia, and Purpur.
A single primitive — modules — runs every feature on the server. Each module is a self-contained feature with its own commands, listeners, config section, and data files. Toggle a module in config.yml, hot-flip it with /cmds enable|disable <module>, or /cmds reload to apply edits. No restart, no listener leaks, no half-Adventure half-legacy output.
23 modules ship by default. 124 commands. Drop the jar in, set your Discord invite, /cmds reload, done.
modules.homes.enabled: false. Don't want chat formatting? Turn off the module. Most plugins force everything on./msg, /r, /me, /mail. Jail blocks every teleport command (and re-checks at TPA delay execute). Vanish hides from /players, /lastseen, /whois, /getpos, join/quit broadcasts, and lastseen updates. Most plugins half-implement this./cmds reload actually unregisters listeners. Most plugins quietly leak handlers and double-fire events after reload.teleportAsync everywhere. No legacy Bukkit.getScheduler() anywhere.&-codes still work — auto-detected. Zero MiniMessage knowledge required to start.audit.log with timestamp + actor + target. Most essentials plugins have nothing equivalent./support, the welcome message, and /cmds version. Useful on boot with zero edits.modules:

Every module has the same shape: enabled plus its own keys. New defaults from plugin upgrades merge in without overwriting your edits.
| Command | Effect |
|---|---|
/cmds modules | List every module + its current state |
/cmds enable <module> | Turn it on, run its onEnable immediately |
/cmds disable <module> | Turn it off, unregister its listeners + cancel its tasks |
/cmds reload | Re-read config + messages, re-enable modules |
/cmds update | Manual Modrinth check |
Where Commands++ goes deeper than per-command Essentials checks.
Mute — blocks chat, /msg, /r, /me, /mail send. Every text path checks PlayerStatus.isMuted from a single helper, so adding a new command picks up muting for free.
Jail — blocks /spawn, /home, /warp, /tpa, /tpahere, /back, /randomtp, /jumpto, /top, /tphere, /tppos, /world. The TPA delay re-checks at execute time, so jailing during the countdown actually stops the teleport.
Vanish — hides from /players, /list, /lastseen, /whois, /getpos, /near. Suppresses join/quit broadcasts. Skips lastseen.yml updates on quit. Cancels item pickups + entity targeting. Persists through rejoins.
AFK — auto-detected from movement and chat. Optional auto-kick after configurable idle. [AFK] tag prepends to the chat that breaks the idle, not the next one.
Per-permission gradient styles for chat AND nicknames. Players run /chatcolor list or /nick list to see a click-to-apply gallery.

Single hierarchy: commandsplus.<module>.<command>[.other|.bypass|.list|.see]. Defaults match intent.
| Node | Default | Grants |
|---|---|---|
commandsplus.admin | op | Wildcard — every operator-level node, including all gradient presets |
commandsplus.<utility> | true | /home, /spawn, /msg, /help, /randomtp, etc. |
commandsplus.<admin> | op | /heal, /mute, /jail, /vanish, /sudo, etc. |
commandsplus.<command>.other | op | Target another player |
commandsplus.<command>.bypass | op | Skip cooldown / restriction |
commandsplus.homes.limit.<n> | false | Tiered home cap — grant commandsplus.homes.limit.10 for ten homes |
commandsplus.chat.style.<name> | false | Per-preset chat gradient |
commandsplus.nick.preset.<name> | false | Per-preset nickname gradient |
Grant commandsplus.admin to your staff LuckPerms group — every operator command works, every gradient preset unlocks.
Every integration is a soft-depend. Commands++ runs cleanly with all of them missing.
