Features
Command Blocking
Featuring a comprehensive command blocker, supporting blacklist/whitelisting, regex, powerful custom command rule chains, colon syntax blocking (
/plugin:command), and more.The default configuration blocks common commands used by players to check installed plugins and versions.
Secure Defaults
The default configuration of BlackWidow provides immediate drag-and-drop security improvements for most servers.
Unit Testing
Standard component logic, such as the Command Blocking logic, is unit-tested to ensure it is working correctly before any version can be shipped out.
Simple & Reliable
BlackWidow is built to be robust and lightweight, and doesn't mash half-baked features together to seem appealing (..only to break next update).
Plenty more to come!
There are a variety of other features planned, some major, such as command spying. It has the goal of being a pretty comprehensive security suite.
However, we currently have no plans for BlackWidow to become an 'anticheat' plugin in the usual sense, which seems to be fulfilled by existing solutions well enough.
Feel free to see a variety of screenshots below:
Get Started
Compatibility
Firstly, make sure your software setup is compatible with BlackWidow.
Please reference the Requirements page for the most up-to-date and descriptive information on the requirements of running BlackWidow.
The best-case scenario to run BlackWidow is:
- Minecraft 1.21.3 or newer
- PaperMC or SpigotMC server software
- Java 21 or newer
Please be advised:
We are considering adding future support for Velocity, BungeeCord, and Minestom. Let us know if you're interested!
Derivatives of Spigot/Paper, such as Purpur or Pufferfish may work fine, but we don't support these setups. That being said, still give it a shot and see if everything works. :)
Please note that we are not interested in backporting BlackWidow to older versions of Minecraft/Java/etc. Please update your software, or feel free to fork BlackWidow and backport it.
We do NOT recommend using any server software like Magma, Mohist, and Arclight which try to make Forge mods work with Bukkit plugins. Bukkit was never designed to work with Forge/Fabric/etc mods. Trying to mix the two often causes lots of unusual issues which burden server owners and plugin maintainers.
Projects Used
Thank you to the following projects for making BlackWidow possible:
-
Used to conveniently create and manage Brigadier commands.

Used to seamlessly handle YAML configuration files.
-
Used to format chat messages with lovely chat component features.

Thanks to all the other projects used, such as SpigotMC, IntelliJ, etc.
