A strict whitelist system that stops unauthorized players from getting OP.<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

—<\/p>\n

## \ud83d\udc4b What is OPGuard?<\/p>\n

Server security shouldn’t be complicated. **OPGuard** does exactly one thing: it takes complete control over who gets OP (Operator) status on your Minecraft server. <\/p>\n

If a rogue admin, a hacked client, or a malicious plugin tries to give someone OP privileges without your explicit permission, OPGuard steps in, blocks it instantly, and sends you a direct alert on Discord.<\/p>\n

—<\/p>\n

## \u2728 Feature Deep Dive<\/p>\n

Here is exactly how OPGuard protects your server under the hood.<\/p>\n

### \ud83d\udee1\ufe0f Iron-Clad OP Whitelist
\nStandard Minecraft allows anyone with OP to give OP to someone else. OPGuard changes this. Only players explicitly added to the OPGuard database can hold operator status. If a hacker somehow forces themselves to be OP, the plugin strips their permissions instantly and punishes them based on your settings (Kick\/Ban).<\/p>\n

### \ud83d\udcf1 Real-Time Discord Webhooks
\nYou shouldn’t have to be online to know your server is under attack. OPGuard connects directly to your Discord server. It sends clean, color-coded alerts the moment someone is whitelisted, removed, or if a security breach is blocked.<\/p>\n

### \ud83c\udfa8 100% Customizable Branding
\nDon’t let the plugin ruin your server’s aesthetic. Every single message, prefix, and color\u2014both in-game and on Discord\u2014can be edited in the configuration files to match your exact server theme.<\/p>\n

—<\/p>\n

## \ud83d\udcda Documentation<\/p>\n

### Quick Setup
\n1. Drop `OPGuard.jar` into your `plugins` folder.
\n2. Restart your server.
\n3. Open `plugins\/OPGuard\/config.yml` and add your Discord Webhook URL.
\n4. From your server console, type `\/og add ` to whitelist yourself.
\n5. You are now fully secured.<\/p>\n

### Commands & Permissions
\nYou only need one permission node for your trusted admins: `opguard.admin`<\/p>\n

| Command | Description |
\n| :— | :— |
\n| `\/og add ` | Safely adds a player to the whitelist and grants them OP. |
\n| `\/og remove ` | Revokes OP status and removes them from the secure list. |
\n| `\/og reload` | Reloads all configs without creating memory leaks or security gaps. |<\/p>\n

*Note: Vanilla commands like `\/op` and `\/deop` are intentionally blocked by default to force the use of the OPGuard system.*<\/p>\n
