ContentGuard Guide

This page explains the permission-gated ContentGuard controls used by authorized staff. It is not a normal player feature.

What It Does

ContentGuard combines the read-only FilterLab simulator with FilterGuard enforcement for signs, books, anvils, item names, entity name tags, and CMI nicknames.

How Staff Use It

Authorized staff can inspect the parent lifecycle and both hosted modules with /contentguard status. FilterLab and FilterGuard keep their existing commands and configuration, while the parent command lets staff isolate either module without disabling the other one.

Available features include:

• Read-only FilterLab simulation, rule inspection, counters, and recent test results.
• FilterGuard monitoring and configurable enforcement across supported player-written text surfaces.
• Independent Lab and Guard lifecycle controls for safe testing or incident isolation.
• Compatibility with the existing FilterLab and FilterGuard commands, permissions, placeholders, and configuration.

Quick Start

1. Run /contentguard status to review the parent lifecycle and both module states.
2. Use /filterlab test this is a test message to simulate a chat-filter rule without sending or punishing.
3. Use /filterguard test sign example text to simulate one protected text surface.
4. Open the full reference before changing module state or reloading either hosted module.

Good To Know

• ContentGuard is permission-gated and intended for authorized staff.
• ContentGuard starts dormant on a fresh installation until staff deliberately activate it.
• Pausing Guard leaves the read-only FilterLab simulator available when Lab remains enabled.
• Do not load the former standalone FilterLab or FilterGuard jars beside ContentGuard.
