# HideCommands \u2728<\/p>\n
**HideCommands** gives you centralized command visibility control for **Velocity + Paper** networks.
\nIt is built for fast admin workflows, live updates, and a clean permission management experience.<\/p>\n
## \ud83c\udf1f Why Use It<\/p>\n
– Control command visibility with `none`, `all`, and `admin+` groups.
\n– Apply changes at backend, plugin\/category, subtree, or single-command level.
\n– Get live command-tree refresh after permission\/group changes.
\n– Use both chat tools and inventory GUI for management.
\n– Keep backend\/plugin icon customization persistent across restarts.
\n– Share plugin icons globally across backends, with command icons inherited from their plugin.
\n– Companion-aware behavior with clear runtime states in Paper.<\/p>\n
## \ud83e\uddf1 Architecture<\/p>\n
– `velocity`: filtering engine, persistence, permissions, bridge server, chat commands.
\n– `paper`: inventory GUI, admin interactions, bridge client, companion probes.
\n– `core`: shared bridge protocol and packet models.<\/p>\n
## \ud83d\ude80 Setup (Requirements + Installation)<\/p>\n
1. Put `hidecommands-velocity- ## \u2705 Important for GUI Operations<\/p>\n – The plugin must be installed on the **proxy** and on the **backend** servers. ## \ud83d\udd17 Companion Link States (Classic Mode)<\/p>\n Paper uses classic plugin-messaging bridge detection.<\/p>\n – `waiting-companion-link`: backend is running but no recent bridge response exists yet. Behavior summary:<\/p>\n – After backend restart, state begins at `waiting-companion-link`. ## \u2699\ufe0f Configuration<\/p>\n Velocity files:<\/p>\n – `plugins\/hidecommands\/global.yml` Paper file:<\/p>\n – `plugins\/HideCommandsPaper\/config.yml`<\/p>\n Example:<\/p>\n “`yml Notes:<\/p>\n – `plugin-icons` and `backend-icons` are saved automatically when changed from GUI. ## \ud83d\udee1\ufe0f Permission Management<\/p>\n There are two management paths:<\/p>\n – Chat management: command\/chat workflows from Velocity or Paper command relay. Both paths update the same backend configuration state.<\/p>\n ## \ud83c\udfa8 Icon Customization<\/p>\n – Backend icons are customizable and persistent. ## \ud83e\uddf0 Available Commands<\/p>\n ### Velocity<\/p>\n – `\/hc reload`: Reloads plugin configuration and refreshes command trees. ### Paper<\/p>\n – `\/hc`: Main admin entry command on Paper. ## \ud83d\udd10 Permission Node<\/p>\n – `hidecommands.admin`<\/p>\n ## \ud83d\udcc4 License<\/p>\n This project is licensed under the MIT License.

\n2. Put `hidecommands-paper-
\n3. Start or restart proxy and backends with matching plugin versions.
\n4. Verify from:
\n– Velocity: `\/hc status`
\n– Paper: `\/hcstatus`<\/p>\n
\n– You can use the GUI from the backend you want to edit, or from another backend.
\n– For changes to apply to a **target backend**, there must be at least **one player online inside that target backend**.<\/p>\n
\n– `connected`: bridge responses are arriving normally.<\/p>\n
\n– State switches to `connected` after a successful bridge roundtrip.
\n– If responses stop longer than timeout, it returns to `waiting-companion-link`.<\/p>\n

\n– If a backend is detected as companion-enabled and filtering is not explicitly set, filtering defaults to enabled.<\/p>\n
\n– GUI management: Paper inventory menus for backend\/plugin\/command actions.<\/p>\n
\n– Plugin icons are shared by normalized plugin name globally.
\n– If the same plugin appears in multiple backends, it keeps the same icon everywhere.
\n– Commands inherit the icon of the plugin\/category they belong to.<\/p>\n
\n– `\/hc status`: Shows runtime status, bridge state, and backend diagnostics.
