# PluginSpoofer
\nReduces plugin detection and avoids exposing the real environment.
\n*Logo generated by Google Gemini (Nano Banana)<\/p>\n
PluginSpoofer is a Bukkit\/Paper plugin based on PacketEvents, used to intercept common probe commands, filter command tree completion, and return a configurable list of fake plugins.<\/p>\n
## Why Do This?
\nMany servers are probed for their plugin stack using methods such as `\/pl`, `\/plugins`, `\/version`, `\/about`, and command completion.<\/p>\n
PluginSpoofer’s goal is not “absolute security,” but rather to significantly increase the cost of detection and reduce the risk of script kiddies easily understanding the configuration.<\/p>\n
## Core Functionality<\/p>\n
– Supports intercepting blacklisted commands (e.g., `\/plugins`, `\/pl`, `\/about`, `\/version`, customizable)
\n– Supports high-version command tree filtering and Tab completion filtering
\n– Supports forging `\/plugins` \/ `\/pl` return results (distinguishing between Paper\/Bukkit styles)
\n– Non-plugin list blacklisted commands follow the server-side native Unknown Command process
\n– Retains the original command name in the Unknown prompt to avoid exposing “command replacement traces”
\n– Management commands `\/pluginspoofer` and `\/ps` are hidden from the command tree by default<\/p>\n
## Dependencies
\n– Required: PacketEvents<\/p>\n
## Commands
\n– `\/ps help` View help
\n– `\/ps reload` Reload configuration
\n– `\/ps version` View version<\/p>\n
## Permissions
\n– `pluginspoofer.admin` (default OP)<\/p>\n

## Compatibility
\n– Platform: Bukkit\/ Paper 1.20-1.21
\n– Velocity: Planned<\/p>\n
We have only tested versions 1.20-1.21.11 so far; it seems that version 1.12.2 also works in earlier versions.
\nWe welcome you to test more versions; we are committed to making it even better.<\/p>\n
## Notes
\n– This plugin is for “minimal information exposure” and is not an anti-cheating or intrusion protection solution.
\n– When used simultaneously with other plugins that forcibly modify the command system, please perform integration testing first.<\/p>\n
