Command Gate

Command Gate

Command Gate adds configurable per-player cooldowns to any vanilla or modded command on a Forge server. Players do not need to install the mod.

Features

• Works with vanilla and modded commands
• Per-player cooldowns
• Longest-prefix matching for precise subcommand rules
• Persistent cooldowns across server restarts
• Configurable operator bypass
• Live admin commands
• Server-side only

Requirements

• Minecraft 1.20.1
• Forge 47.4.10 or newer
• Java 17

Configuration

After the first launch, edit config/commandgate-common.toml.

Rules use command=seconds without a leading slash:

rules = ["home=30", "warp=10", "warp spawn=120"]
bypassPermissionLevel = 2

The most specific matching prefix wins. In the example above, /warp spawn uses 120 seconds while other /warp commands use 10 seconds.

Set bypassPermissionLevel = 5 if operators should not bypass cooldowns.

Admin commands

• /commandgate list
• /commandgate set <seconds> <command prefix>
• /commandgate remove <command prefix>
• /commandgate clearcooldowns

Admin changes take effect immediately and persist in the world. A removed config rule remains disabled until it is explicitly set again.

Installation

Install the JAR in the server’s mods folder. No client installation is required.
