PwnFilter
Update: 2023-04-20 - PwnFilter EOL Statement
Major changes to chat from Mojang that include chat reporting and signed messages may render PwnFilter no longer usable. The developers of PwnFiilter have not maintained the plugin since 2016, and it has continued to work up until now. We don't see a new version coming out anytime soon and urge server owners to find an alternative. We hear good things about VentureChat - https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/venturechat.771/

About PwnFilter
PwnFilter is way more than just your average word-blocking plugin, PwnFilter uses the power of Regular-Expressions ("RegEx") to give you a highly effective and highly configurable plugin to filter anything you want from chat! Matching words can be rewritten, logged, blocked, and managed, depending on the rules you define. Use PwnFilter for:
- Extremely effective chat/command filtering: Filter anything you want with RegEx!
- Extremely effective curse/swear word filtering, warn users who use bad language, turn their profanities into harmless language, or just deny their message entirely!
- Assign appropriate punishment levels based on severity.
- Anti-Advertisement: IP/URL filtering
- Make fun chat replacements for your server's inside-jokes.
- Single line spam filtering: Remove repetitive characters like hiiiiiiiiiiiii to hi.
- CAPS Blocking capability
- Typo correction: Replace common and annoying typos like "teh" to "the" or "u" or "you"
- Customizable warning messages
- Command aliases: Automatically recognize a !command and change to /longer command, Stop yourself from accidentally sending those embarrassing .commands to chat for everyone to see.
- A few built-in punishments like burn, kill, fine (charge money!), warn, kick, and ban. Or simply utilize the "then console" action to make your server console execute almost any command from any other plugin as if you typed it yourself in the console window, especially if you use a plugin that adds a plethora of punishments, like PunishMental, or use it to make PwnFilter send the appropriate commands to your favorite ban-management system to let it handle what to do!
Think of this plugin as a platform for the power of RegEx, the matching rules are 100% entirely up to you, and there are a hundred ways to do something. The possibilities are endless, the power is as dynamic as you want it to be depending on how much effort you put into having the best RegEx rules.
PwnFilter is a revival and complete rewrite of the RegexFilter plugin by FloydATC. Thanks to DreamPhreak for helping with this Bukkit page, to Sage905 for taking over the latest branch of development making PwnFilter even better than ever, and to EpicAtrain for developing comprehensive regex rules for server owners to use.
Features:
- Filter Chat! (of course)
- Filter Item Names! (Anvil)
- Filter Signs!
- Filter Commands!
- Filter Console!
- Filter Books! (Coming in next version!)
- Filter Nametags!
- Built-in anti-spam feature can be enabled in config.
- Commands for OP or by permission node.
- Supports color message replacement.
- Globally clear all player's chat windows with "/pfcls".
- Global mute with "/pfmute" - stops all server chat and commands for making admin announcements.
- Command typos beginning with certain characters can be stopped (like . and 7, accidentally instead of / and &).
- Optionally recover those typos and execute the command as intended.
- Define your own macros or command aliases.
- Simple but powerful configuration with built-in debugging.
- Each regular expression is compiled only once => very fast.
- Able to reload all your PwnFilter rules & config files without needing to restart the server with "/pfreload".
- Optionally kick or warn players on rule matches AND/OR:
- Execute commands from console or other plugins.
- Use randrep action to replace swears with a random multiple option.
- Use lower action to replace text to all lowercase (great for those CAPS chatters).
- True command aliases, link faux commands like /wave to /me waves at you.
- Customizable 'permission denied' messages
Issues & Conflicts
Plugin Conflicts: If you notice that PwnFilter conflicts/interferes with another chat-related plugin, edit your config.yml, go to the "ADVANCED" section at the bottom, unhide the priority you want to change (by removing the # in front of the line), and change the priority from the default setting "Lowest" to another setting like "Highest". This can sometimes resolve conflicts, otherwise ask on our forum or create a ticket.
Permission Bypass: The permission node pwnfilter.bypass is automatically granted to OP and players with * permission nodes. If you do not want these players bypassing the filter at all, you must negate this permission node for them in your Permissions Plugin's files.
Plugin Metrics
This plugin utilizes Hidendra's plugin metrics system, which means that some information is collected and sent to mcstats.org. If you wish to disable this feature, you can do so by opting out, which you can do in the PluginMetrics' config file under /YourServer/plugins/PluginMetrics/

1.8.3 Spigot
Never stopping this msg:
Can help me?
I might have forgot to, but I have to say:
THIS IS ABSOLUTELY MY MOST FAVOURITE PLUGIN IN ALL TIME! (Not counting WorldEdit :P)
It's freaking amazing and I use it for almost everything, whether it's to correct English, to prevent curses and commands, or to create my own Commands. I love this Plugin, keep at it! :D
@Liger_XT5
Uhh, the easiest solutions are often the hardest ones to get to! Should have thought that one out myself, thank you so much! :)
@Marium0505
Use a command that gives them the permission, such as pwnfilter.ignorebasicfilters, and have the filters you want to be checking for the permission to ignore the user, if they have the permission.
Spigot with API-Version 1.8-R0.1
PWNFilter v. 3.3.1
command /pfreload dont run.
Serverstart are no problem
How could I make it so playes can toggle certain rules of the filter for them, while others won't be affected?
I want to give players the ability to decide whether they want the chat filtered or not, ie, when a player does /mature, will it toggle swearing words being shown to the players.
@madtomic
its supportive with 1.8 so i don't see the point of updating it unless there is a new feature to add.
I hope update for 1.8 soon. :)
I've been dead for over a year...
Can you make it so people with offensive usernames are blocked?
(Make usernames filterable)
I am using this plugin and also essentials. My question, how can i block so that users cant spam /tpa NICK, i want it so you cant spam the same command twice. Useing 1.8 and latest version and build of pwnfilter.
@Sage905
That build does not work fully on 1.8 without creating errors. Hope all is well!
Sorry for the delays in updating, folks. Lots going on, and just not enough time for Minecraft stuff.
Latest builds can always be found on the CI server, below, even if an update hasn't been made here.

I just install this plug in on Spigot 1.8 Build #27 and it runs with no errors, I would like to allow URLs but can't seem to find the location on where it is filtered. There is just one part of filter don't work the itemfilter don't seem to work at all, gives no errors so I decide to let it run on my server anyways. Looking forward to the updated version that will allow addons and the itemfilter to work.
Been getting this just the last few days.
@tremor77
Any ideas?

Please update for spigot 1.8
spigot 1.8 development tools have been out for quite some time now. Time to update, there is no choice better then this.
Does any one know in the command.txt how to match "/?"
Is there a way to make some words bypass filters? For example, we have a filer for rape, therefore the word 'trappers' is blocked.
