Visit **[protectcord.com](https://protectcord.com)** 2. Create a free account 3. Generate an API key from **Dashboard → API Keys** 4. **Free tier includes 32 requests/minute** — enough for most servers ### 2️⃣ Install the Plugin 1. Download the correct JAR for your platform from Modrinth 2. Drop it into your `plugins/` folder (or `mods/` for Forge) 3. Start your server — config generates automatically 4. Add your API key to `plugins/ProtectCord/config.yml` 5. Run `/protectcord reload` or restart 6. ✅ Your server is now protected --- ## ⚙️ Full Configuration Reference The config file is auto-generated at `plugins/ProtectCord/config.yml` on first run. Every option is explained below. > Velocity uses `config.toml` (same structure, TOML syntax). Forge uses `config/protectcord-forge.toml`. --- ### API Settings ```yaml # Your ProtectCord API key — get one free at https://protectcord.com/dashboard/api-keys api-key: "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE" # How long to wait (ms) for the API to respond before giving up api-timeout: connect: 15000 # Time to establish the connection (default: 15s) read: 15000 # Time to wait for a response after connecting (default: 15s) # Automatic retry for failed/timed-out API requests api-retry: max-attempts: 3 # Max number of retries before allowing/denying the player (1–5) initial-delay: 1000 # Wait this long before the first retry (ms) max-delay: 5000 # Never wait longer than this between retries (ms) multiplier: 2.0 # Multiply delay by this factor each retry (exponential backoff) ``` --- ### Server Identity ```yaml # Used for player tracking and multi-server MySQL identification server: name: "My Server" # Friendly name — stored in MySQL as server_id on every row ip: "" # Your public IP — leave blank to auto-detect port: 25565 # Your server port type: "spigot" # Platform: paper / spigot / bungeecord / velocity / forge / folia ``` --- ### Player Tracking ```yaml # UUID-based tracking via the ProtectCord API player-tracking: enabled: true block-flagged-players: true # Block players flagged as malicious by the API block-inactive-players: false # Block players whose accounts are marked inactive ``` --- ### IP Protection ```yaml # Master switch — set to false to disable all IP checking (not recommended) enable-ip-check: true # Choose which connection types to block block-vpn: true # Virtual private networks (ban evaders, alt accounts) block-proxy: true # HTTP/SOCKS proxies and anonymizers block-tor: true # Tor exit nodes block-datacenter: true # Hosting provider IPs (common source of bots) block-bogon: true # Invalid, reserved, or unroutable IP ranges # Risk-based blocking (optional, runs in addition to the flags above) # Enable this to block by overall threat score instead of (or as well as) individual flags enable-risk-level-blocking: false blocked-risk-level: "HIGH" # Levels (each blocks itself and everything above it): # LOW — blocks LOW, MEDIUM, HIGH, CRITICAL (very strict) # MEDIUM — blocks MEDIUM, HIGH, CRITICAL # HIGH — blocks HIGH, CRITICAL (recommended if enabling) # CRITICAL — blocks CRITICAL only (very lenient) ``` --- ### Geographic Blocking ```yaml geo-blocking: enabled: false mode: "blacklist" # "blacklist" = block listed countries # "whitelist" = ONLY allow listed countries (everyone else blocked) countries: # ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country codes -

Two modes available: ### Simple Mode (default) | Warning | Action | |---------|--------| | 1st | In-game warning message | | 2nd | Kicked with "final warning" message | | 3rd | Permanent ban | ### Escalation Tiers Mode (configurable) Fully custom escalation — any combination of WARN → TEMPMUTE → TEMPBAN → BAN: ``` 1 warning → Warning message 2 warnings → Temp mute (1 hour) 3 warnings → Temp ban (1 day) 4 warnings → Temp ban (7 days) 5 warnings → Permanent ban ``` Warnings can optionally **expire** after a configured duration (`7d`, `30d`, etc.) so past behavior doesn't follow players forever. --- ## 🤖 AutoMod — Automated Chat Filtering Protect your chat without lifting a finger. Each AutoMod rule runs independently and can be configured to `BLOCK`, `WARN`, `KICK`, `MUTE`, or `TEMPMUTE` the offending player. | Rule | What It Catches | |------|----------------| | **Anti-Link** | URLs, with per-domain whitelist | | **Anti-Advertising** | Other server IPs, Discord invites | | **Anti-Spam** | Message rate and duplicate flooding | | **Anti-Swear** | Custom word list, with regex and exceptions | | **Anti-Caps** | Excessive uppercase by percentage | | **Anti-Flood** | Repeated character abuse | | **Anti-Unicode** | Zalgo text and invisible character abuse | --- ## 🔍 Alt Account Detection Find players evading bans or using multiple accounts with a single command: ``` /pc alts Notch → [ProtectCord] Alt accounts for Notch: - Notch2 (shared IPs: 2) - AltAccount99 (shared IPs: 1) ``` IPs are **never displayed** in alt output — staff see player names only, protecting privacy while identifying evaders. --- ## 🗄️ MySQL & Multi-Server Sync Store all data (warnings, bans, mutes, IP history, audit logs) in MySQL instead of local YAML files. - **All servers share one database** — ban on Factions, blocked on Survival - **HikariCP connection pooling** — high-performance and thread-safe - **Auto table creation** — tables are created on first startup - **server_id tracking** — every row records which server the action came from - **Live migration** — move from YAML to MySQL (or back) with `/pc migrate mysql` ``` /pc migrate mysql → Migrated 47 players, 12 IP bans, 203 audit entries. → Update database.type in config.yml and run /pc reload. ``` --- ## 🧹 Data Purge Keep your database clean with fine-grained purge commands: ``` /pc purge warnings 90 — remove warnings older than 90 days /pc purge bans 30 — remove expired bans older than 30 days /pc purge mutes 30 — remove expired mutes older than 30 days /pc purge iplogs 365 — remove IP history older than 1 year /pc purge auditlog 90 — trim the audit log /pc purge inactive 180 — remove player records unseen for 6 months /pc purge all 90 — run all of the above ``` --- ## 📢 Discord Integration ### Connection Webhook Get a rich Discord embed every time a player is blocked, accepted, or whitelisted: - Country with flag emoji, city, VPN/proxy/tor/datacenter/bogon flags, risk level, company - Per-event toggle — only receive the events you care about - Rate limiting to stay within Discord's limits - Automatic retry with exponential backoff ### Staff Alert Webhook Separate webhook for moderation events: bans, unbans, warns, kicks, mutes, AutoMod actions — so your mod team always knows what's happening. ### Setup in 30 seconds 1. Discord → Server Settings → Integrations → Webhooks → New Webhook → Copy URL 2. Add to `config.yml`: ```yaml discord-webhook: enabled: true url: "https://discord.com/api/webhooks/YOUR_WEBHOOK" ``` 3. `/pc reload` --- ## 🛡️ How IP Detection Works Every connecting player's IP is sent to the ProtectCord API for evaluation: | Check | What It Detects | |-------|----------------| | **VPN** | Virtual private networks used to hide location | | **Proxy** | HTTP/SOCKS proxies and anonymizers | | **Tor** | Tor exit nodes | | **Datacenter** | Hosting providers (common bot source) | | **Bogon** | Invalid or reserved IP ranges | | **Risk Score** | AI-powered score from UNKNOWN to CRITICAL | | **Geo** | Country of origin (for geo-blocking) | ### Automatic Bypasses No API call is made for: - Localhost (`127.0.0.1`, `::1`) - Private networks (`192.168.x.x`, `10.x.x.x`, `172.16–31.x.x`) - Whitelisted players, UUIDs, or IPs --- ## ❓ FAQ **Is this free?** Yes. The free API key includes **32 requests per minute**, enough for most servers. **Will it lag my server?** No. All IP checks are **fully asynchronous** and never block the main thread. **Can legitimate players get blocked?** Rarely. Use `/pc check ` to see why, then `/pc whitelist add player `. You can also raise `blocked-risk-level` to `CRITICAL` for less aggressive blocking. **Does it work with offline mode?** Yes. The plugin functions in both online and offline mode. **What about proxy networks?** Install **only on the proxy** (BungeeCord or Velocity). All backend servers are automatically protected with one plugin and one API key. **What if the API is down?** Players are allowed to connect by default during API outages. This prevents lockouts and can be changed in config. **Do you store player data?** Only IP addresses are sent to the ProtectCord API. No usernames or UUIDs are transmitted externally. See our [privacy policy](https://protectcord.com/privacy). **Can I sync bans across servers?** Yes — enable MySQL storage and point all servers at the same database. Bans and mutes are enforced network-wide automatically. --- ## 🔧 Troubleshooting **"API KEY NOT CONFIGURED!"** Get your key at [protectcord.com/dashboard](https://protectcord.com/dashboard), add it to `config.yml`, run `/pc reload`. **Player blocked incorrectly** Run `/pc check ` to see the reason. Whitelist with `/pc whitelist add player ` or lower `blocked-risk-level`. **Rate limit hit** Free tier: 32 req/min (~1 player every 2 seconds). Solutions: whitelist regulars to skip API calls, or install only on your proxy instead of all backends. **Discord webhook silent** Verify URL is correct, `enabled: true`, events are enabled, and check console for errors. **MySQL connection failed** Check host/port/credentials in config. Ensure the MySQL user has `CREATE TABLE` privileges. Check console for the HikariCP error message. --- ## 🌐 Links & Support - 🌍 **Website:** [protectcord.com](https://protectcord.com) - 📖 **API Docs:** [api.protectcord.com](https://api.protectcord.com) - 🎫 **Dashboard:** [protectcord.com/dashboard](https://protectcord.com/dashboard) - 💬 **Discord:** [protectcord.com/discord](https://protectcord.com/discord) --- ## 💖 Support the Project - ⭐ Follow on Modrinth - 💬 Join the [Discord community](https://protectcord.com/discord) - 📝 Leave a review and share your experience - 🐛 Report bugs or suggest features on Discord --- *Made with ❤️ for the Minecraft community — **ProtectCord**, because prevention is better than moderation.*
