SparkWord works by automatically monitoring chat, commands, books, signs, and player input to detect spam, abuse, or banned content in real time. It offers advanced word filtering, anti-spam protection, moderation tools, logs, and player mutes.

🔵 REQUERIMENTS

• Java-21
• Paper/Purpur-1.21.x

---

🔵 FEATURES

• Configurable word blocking and filtering via external text-based dictionaries with hot-reload support.
• Built-in persistence layer using SQLite by default, with optional MySQL or MariaDB backends for scalable environments.
• Advanced anti-spam system covering IP-based checks, domain detection, message flooding, excessive capitalization, numeric abuse, character repetition, and repeated word patterns.
• Injection prevention layer designed to mitigate malformed or malicious input affecting vulnerable plugins.
• Detection and sanitization of dangerous Unicode sequences, including Zalgo and invisible character abuse.
• Content limitations and validation applied to writable books to prevent exploits and abuse.
• Command input writing limits to reduce spam, injection vectors, and abuse through command execution.
• Automated mute mechanisms triggered by configurable violation thresholds across multiple detection systems.
• Comprehensive moderation logs tracking mutes, warnings, and staff command usage for auditing purposes.
• Suggestion and correction system to guide players toward acceptable message formats.
• Preventive staff notifications with contextual information before escalation actions occur.
• Unified filtering and anti-spam enforcement across chat, signs, anvils, books, and other player-input sources.

🔵 USAGE

• Word Filtering: The plugin does not rely on traditional regex-based filtering, which was intentionally avoided due to performance issues and server lag. Instead, it uses an Aho–Corasick pattern-matching engine optimized for high-throughput text analysis. Filtering is driven by plain-text wordlists categorized by purpose (Normal, Strong, WriteCommand), each providing a distinct level of enforcement.
  • Normal: Performs partial word blocking, matching standalone or contextual terms (e.g., blocking "cat" without affecting "category" or "education").
  • Strong: Applies aggressive matching, blocking terms regardless of whether they appear as substrings within larger words.
  • WriteCommand: Designed to prevent the use of administrator or staff names within writable commands such as /rename, /tag, /nickname, and similar features.
• Anti-Spam: This module is fully configurable via moderation.yml, allowing fine-grained control over thresholds, cooldowns, and enforcement behavior.
• Suggestions: The suggestion command sw-sg allows players to submit word suggestions, feedback, or staff reports. All entries are stored persistently and can be reviewed using sw list sg. By default, suggestion logs are automatically purged every 3 days; this interval is configurable via config.yml under suggestion.purge-hours.
• commands.yml: Provides centralized control for redefining or aliasing moderation commands exposed to helpers or regular users, enabling permission-based command abstraction.
• Notifications: Staff notifications are delivered using hover-based messages to minimize chat clutter and maintain readability on high-population servers.
