Changing Commands

If you want to change the name, aliases or permissions of an existing command or you want to disable it, you can do that by adding a “commands”-section to your “plugin”.json configuration file.

Example (mission.json):

{
  "commands": {
    "player": {
      "name": "jugadores",
      "commands": {
        "bans": {
          "roles": [
            "Admin"
          ],
          "name": "prohibiciones",
          "description": "mostrar una lista de todas las prohibiciones en sus servidores"
        },
        "afk": {
          "enabled": false
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

This changes the group name of “player” to its spanish name “jugadores”, the bans sub-command to “prohibiciones” and gives it some documentation. Only users belonging to the Admin group are allowed to run this command. The 2nd example disabled the afk sub-command at all. So nobody can see of use it anymore.
