CensorIt
How to use video by Samkio and Torrent
Tired of people cursing on your server and reading their immature messages or what they think of your family? Search no more! CensorIt is the plugin for you. CensorIt has been specifically designed to remove unwanted words no matter how they are spelt, let it be with special characters, repeated characters, spaces or capitals!
The plugin contains a list of censored words and a list of allowed words. This way you can censor for example ass without censoring glass, assassin, grass, etc. You only need to add the normal form of the word in lower case. For example if you censor only ass, the plugin takes care of preventing ass, AsS, @$$, a ss, a.ss, a s s or a_s_s.
The plugin also has a learning function with which verifies online for the existence of a word and automatically adds them to the allowed list. It makes censoring a little slower at first, but as words are added automatically to the allowed lists it will become faster.
The plugin also contains a public API which can be used by Other plugins to censor many different things involving text like signs, whispers, shouts (these features are not included in this simple plugin).
Installation
- Get the latest recommended build of CraftBukkit here.
- Download file CensorIt.jar and place it in your Plugins subfolder
- Start the server once and stop it.
- Go in folder Plugins\CensorIt
- Open file censored.txt and add the words that you want to censor. It is suggested to modify these files in Notepad++.
- Optional : Open file allowed.txt and add the words that you want to prevent from being censored. (e.g. assassin, grass, glass)
- Optional : Open file replacement.txt and add the words that you want to use as replacement words when /censorit replaceon is active. (e.g. cloud, hug, happy)
- Start your server
Commands
General commands (require CensorIt.word and/or CensorIt.admin permissions)- /censorit config - List configuration commands.
- /censorit word - List word management commands.
- /censorit enable - Server-wide enable censoring.
- /censorit disable - Server-wide disable censoring.
- /censorit reload - Reload configuration.
- /censorit verify - SLOW! Verify words online (added to allowed list). Currently using http://dictionary.cambridge.org/ dictionary. Other plugins can change this property through the API.
- /censorit unverify - Stop verifying words online.
- /censorit replaceon - Enable word replacement (e.g. bird, flower).
- /censorit replaceoff - Disable word replacement.
- /censorit censor|uncensor - Censor or uncensor a word. (e.g. ass, fuck)
- /censorit allow|unallow - Allow or unallow a word. (e.g. grass, assassin)
- /censorit replace|unreplace - Add or remove a replacement word. (e.g. bird, flower)
How to connect to the API from your plugin
- Add an external reference to CensorIt.jar
- Modify your onEnable event to verify if the CensorIt plugin is present like so : getServer().getPluginManager().isPluginEnabled("CensorIt")
- In the class you want to use the API in, import com.worldcretornica.censorit.CensorItAPI
- You do not need to instantiate the API, it is a static class and contains the same configuration as other plugins. Just type CensorItAPI.something to get the list of available commands.
- Basic usage : use the function CensorItAPI.censor(string) to receive the string censored
Things to do
- Save the censoring state configurations : verify, enabled, replace words. Currently only the word lists are saved.
- Add option to color censored words/replacement words.
- If possible, need to find a way to disable censoring for the current player. Best would be to leave this to other plugins to implement. If someone has a suggestion on how to implement this without breaking other plugins please tell me how.
- Check for 8 used as a b and () used as an o
- Fix incompatibility with SpamHammer. Censored text don't count as spam for some reason
- Put option to censor IPs
- Add other charset support (e.g. russia). I thought they would already work but I've been told otherwise.
Changelog
Version 0.1- Initial release
Please Update!
people can still swear witch color codes, like &fN&fo&fo&fb
is there a way to patch that? cuz ive tryed add &fN&fo&fo&fb and §fN§fo§fo§fb but it wont work, any sugestions how to patch that?
Can you add an option in the config to replace words by default? When I restart the server I always have to run the command /censorit replaceon
Although I've added some words to the allowed list, like "hello" and "grass," they still seem to be censored. Once I turn online verification on, however, the words are no longer censored.
Any fix?
@sir_brando
I've spoken with the creator of this plugin. He holds an excellent point. He says that there's no way to make a 100% censor. If you think about, no matter what game you're playing, you can always find a way to bypass. In the end, this plugin does all it can, and a good job at that!
@TraedpoD
I tried to find a way to fix it, with no luck. Although if any of my users get around the censor they get muted, jailed or banned, so typically I don't worry about it much. There are other unusual characters they can use to get around the censor as well, and with color codes. These things will have to be fixed by an update for the plugin. I'm not sure if the creator will work on this anymore though. I enjoy the plugin despite the minor issues though. Will continue to use it.
There is a major exploit. Placing an exclamation mark in the middle of a word prevents that word from being appropriately censored. It completely bypasses.
@Morini999 Do not use any punctuation in the words, or symbols and numbers possibly. It will break the list.
@BlockChunkWorld I can confirm this works with 1.7
Whens this going to be 1.7? Or is it for all versions?
I have this great plugin of yours but every time I reload my server the word lists wipe themselves. Could you help me please?
Suggestion: Can you also add a feature so you can also disable words in chat?
Thanks~

Any normal words that are entered into chat (word, hello, nice, ect…) have spaces between each letter (w o r d , h e l l o , n i c e , e c t) do you know what is causing this?

@lecraeman
Easy...disable the webchat to prevent random spam in the first place.
hey does anybody know how to use * as replacement?
@DetonatorAgent
It works in 1.6.2
I am having a HUGE problem. My Dynmap webchat is NOT being censored. What do I do to fix that??
Hi! Im back!
Can you update to 1.6.2? Its been a while since last updated.
Great progress with CloneMe btw!
Works with 1.6.2?
can u plllllzzz make it so when somebody says a censored word a certain amout of times it excecutes a command ex. I say ass 5 times and get muted or I say fuck 10 times and get bannedPlz that would make this the best censoring plugin ever!
@Panjinatof
yeahhh about those planned things... I don't have time and I don't feel the need at the moment to do them.
If anyone wants to continue this plugin (I'll still update it if it stops working) just give me a shout and I'll add you.
