Configuration Reference

This page documents every key in Verité's config.yml. Defaults shown are the values Verité ships with. Config keys, values, and code appear exactly as they are written in the file (ASCII), while prose uses the accented name Verité.

Verité's configuration is grouped into modules:

general: plugin-wide settings.
chat.filter: the chat filter, Veritédoux.
moderation: the moderation system, Veritésauver.
invsee: inventory viewing.
vanish: the vanish system, Veritévoiler.

Editing flags in game

Many of these keys can be read and changed from in game with /verite config, which patches the single key on disk and keeps every comment in the file. This command is gated behind the veritedoux.flag permission. Every true or false key and every numeric key in config.yml can be edited this way, using either its short name or its full dotted path. Free-text keys, the punishment tree lists, and config.language are not editable this way; change those in the file or from the web dashboard. Run /verite config with no arguments to list every editable key. Most edits apply live; the module gates (chat.filter.enabled, moderation.enabled, vanish.enabled) and the two auto-update flags require a restart to take effect.

General

The general section holds plugin-wide settings.

general:
  prefix: "<#808080>[<#B1C7F0>Verité<#808080>]<reset>"
  auto.update.config: true
  dashboard.url: "https://verite.gg"

Key	Default	Controls
`general.prefix`	`<#808080>[<#B1C7F0>Verité<#808080>]<reset>`	The public facing prefix on every Verité message, in the Verite tag format.
`general.auto.update.config`	`true`	Automatically appends new keys to the config when the plugin updates. Does not bypass tokenizer updates. Editable with `/verite config` as `auto.update.config`, but requires a restart to apply.
`general.dashboard.url`	`https://verite.gg`	Where `/verite dashboard` sends you. Only change this if you host the Dashboard yourself.
`config.language`	`en`	The language the whole plugin runs in. One of `en`, `es`, `fr`, `it`, `pt`, or `de`. Changing it requires a full restart, not a reload.

Chat Filter (Veritédoux)

The chat.filter section configures message filtering.

chat.filter:
  enabled: true
  auto.update.eve: false
  block.message: "@prefix Your message wasn't sent. Please keep chat friendly."
  repeat.message: "@prefix You've already sent that message. Please wait a moment before repeating yourself."

Key	Default	Controls
`chat.filter.enabled`	`true`	Enables the chat filter module. Editable with `/verite config` as `chat.filter.enabled`, but requires a restart to apply.
`chat.filter.auto.update.eve`	`false`	Automatically updates the `.eve` configuration files when new entries are added. When enabled, custom entries are overwritten or discarded when the `.eve` files are replaced with updated versions. Editable with `/verite config` as `auto.update.eve`, but requires a restart to apply.
`chat.filter.block.message`	`@prefix Your message wasn't sent. Please keep chat friendly.`	The notice shown when a message is blocked by the filter. Supports `&`-codes and `&#RRGGBB` hex. Use `@prefix` to insert your chosen prefix.
`chat.filter.repeat.message`	`@prefix You've already sent that message. Please wait a moment before repeating yourself.`	The notice shown when a message is blocked as a repeat. Supports `&`-codes and `&#RRGGBB` hex, and `@prefix`.

Self-harm message

The self-harm block message cannot be changed. This ensures users are always given the proper guidance and support when dealing with self-harm related content.

Languages

The chat.filter.general.lang block chooses which languages are content-checked and which detection categories run for each. Profanity detection is disabled by default so that servers which permit casual swearing are unaffected. Adjust these to match your server's tolerance.

Each language block supports these keys:

Key	Default	Controls
`allowed`	`true`	Whether the language is permitted in chat.
`self.harm.detection`	`true`	Detects self-harm related content in this language.
`abuse.detection`	`true`	Detects abusive content in this language.
`slur.detection`	`true`	Detects slurs in this language.

Profanity keys are per language. Each is false by default. Set one to true to flag profanity for that dialect or region.

Language	Profanity keys (all default `false`)
`english`	`profanity.global`
`spanish`	`profanity.spain`, `profanity.argentinian`, `profanity.chilean`, `profanity.colombian`, `profanity.mexican`, `profanity.peruvian`, `profanity.venezuelan`, `profanity.uruguayan`, `profanity.cuban`, `profanity.dominican`, `profanity.panamanian`, `profanity.global`
`french`	`profanity.france`, `profanity.canadian`
`portuguese`	`profanity.european`, `profanity.brazilian`
`german`	`profanity.global`
`italian`	`profanity.global`

Two additional entries cover text whose language could not be resolved:

Key	Default	Controls
`chat.filter.general.lang.unknown.lang.allowed`	`true`	Whether messages in a language Verité does not recognize are allowed.
`chat.filter.general.lang.undeterminable.allowed`	`true`	Whether messages whose language cannot be determined are allowed.

An example language block:

chat.filter:
  general.lang:
    english:
      allowed: true
      self.harm.detection: true
      abuse.detection: true
      slur.detection: true
      profanity.global: false

Advanced

The chat.filter.advanced block holds tuning for readability, spam, and repeat detection.

chat.filter:
  advanced:
    keep.chat.readable: false
    block.possible.spam: false
    block.repeat.messages: false
    block.repeat.exact: true
    block.repeat.near: true
    block.repeat.history.size: 5
    block.repeat.window.ms: 5000
    block.repeat.similarity.threshold: 0.85
    block.unsupported.languages: false

Key	Default	Controls
`keep.chat.readable`	`false`	Blocks messages that may make chat unreadable, such as fancy font substitutions, even when the message would otherwise pass the filter. Emojis are not blocked. Editable with `/verite config` as `keep.chat.readable`.
`block.possible.spam`	`false`	Uses Verité's tokenizer to detect and block possible spam and advertisements. Editable with `/verite config` as `block.possible.spam`.
`block.repeat.messages`	`false`	Enables repeat message detection. Every key below only applies when this is enabled.
`block.repeat.exact`	`true`	Blocks a message identical to a recent one from the same user. Comparison ignores case, accents, and repeated letters, so `HELLO`, `hello`, and `helllo` all count as the same.
`block.repeat.near`	`true`	Blocks a message that is similar (but not identical) to a recent one from the same user. How similar counts as a match is set by `block.repeat.similarity.threshold`.
`block.repeat.history.size`	`5`	How many of each user's most recent messages are remembered and checked for repeats. Set to `-1` to remember all messages, or `0` to disable repeat detection entirely.
`block.repeat.window.ms`	`5000`	How far back in time (milliseconds) a remembered message still counts as a repeat. Messages older than this are ignored. Set to `-1` to ignore time and remember messages indefinitely, or `0` to disable repeat detection entirely.
`block.repeat.similarity.threshold`	`0.85`	For near-repeat matching, how alike two messages must be to count as a repeat. A value between `0` and `1`, where `1` means identical. Higher is stricter (fewer blocks); lower is more aggressive.
`block.unsupported.languages`	`false`	Blocks languages Verité does not yet support. The supported languages are English, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, and German. All other languages are blocked when this is enabled. Editable with `/verite config` as `block.unsupported.languages`.

Language Detection Weights

The chat.filter.advanced.language block tunes how Verité assigns a language to each word in a message.

chat.filter:
  advanced:
    language:
      known.word.weight: 50
      unknown.word.weight: 0.1

Key	Default	Controls
`known.word.weight`	`50`	Weight for a word a language's dictionary knows but the rate table does not list. Higher means dictionary membership counts for more.
`unknown.word.weight`	`0.1`	Floor weight for a word no dictionary knows and the rate table omits.

Evasion Passes

The chat.filter.advanced.evasion block toggles the passes that undo attempts to slip content past the filter. Each is true by default. Disabling passes may reduce latency slightly.

chat.filter:
  advanced:
    evasion:
      homoglyph: true
      entity: true
      deobfuscate: true
      segmentation: true
      fingerprint: true

Key	Default	Controls
`homoglyph`	`true`	Folds fullwidth, Cyrillic, and math-bold letter spoofs back to ASCII. Editable with `/verite config` as `evasion.homoglyph`.
`entity`	`true`	Strips HTML entities and similar encodings. Editable with `/verite config` as `evasion.entity`.
`deobfuscate`	`true`	Reverses character-inserted and spaced-out obfuscation. Editable with `/verite config` as `evasion.deobfuscate`.
`segmentation`	`true`	Splits run-together words back into separate words. Editable with `/verite config` as `evasion.segmentation`.
`fingerprint`	`true`	Catches transposed spellings. Editable with `/verite config` as `evasion.fingerprint`.

Profanity Confidence

The chat.filter.advanced.use.profanity.confidence block sets the minimum confidence before a message is treated as profane.

chat.filter:
  advanced:
    use.profanity.confidence:
      enabled: true
      profanity.confidence.threshold: 0.30

Key	Default	Controls
`enabled`	`true`	Enables the profanity confidence threshold. Editable with `/verite config` as `use.profanity.confidence.enabled`.
`profanity.confidence.threshold`	`0.30`	The minimum confidence required to consider a message profane. Editable with `/verite config` as `use.profanity.confidence.profanity.confidence.threshold`.

Moderation (Veritésauver)

The moderation section configures the moderation system.

moderation:
  enabled: true
  use.rank.weights: true
  auto.ban.alts: false
  expire.warns.after: 7d
  shared.ip.scan.limit: 20

Key	Default	Controls
`moderation.enabled`	`true`	Enables the moderation module. Editable with `/verite config` as `moderation.enabled`, but requires a restart to apply.
`moderation.use.rank.weights`	`true`	Compares LuckPerms group weight so staff cannot punish equal or higher ranks. Operators are always treated as the highest rank, regardless of LuckPerms weight.
`moderation.auto.ban.alts`	`false`	Automatically bans alts of a banned player, regardless of whether the player was IP-banned. Discouraged on servers that share IP addresses between distinct users. Editable with `/verite config` as `moderation.auto.ban.alts`.
`moderation.expire.warns.after`	`7d`	How long a warning counts as active before it lapses.
`moderation.shared.ip.scan.limit`	`20`	The maximum number of accounts shown in a duplicate IP-scan. Editable with `/verite config` as `moderation.shared.ip.scan.limit`.

Muted Command Blacklist

moderation.muted.command.blacklist lists commands a muted player may not use.

Proxy injection

On a network with proxy injection, these commands may not be blocked by Verité, meaning a muted user could still use them.

The shipped list is:

moderation:
  muted.command.blacklist:
    - "me"
    - "say"
    - "tell"
    - "whisper"
    - "reply"
    - "pm"
    - "message"
    - "msg"
    - "msgall"
    - "tellall"
    - "speak"
    - "emsg"
    - "epm"
    - "etell"
    - "ewhisper"
    - "w"
    - "m"
    - "t"
    - "r"
    - "mail"

Exempt

The moderation.exempt block controls how rank weight comparisons treat equal-weight targets.

moderation:
  exempt:
    use.group.weights: false
    permit.same.weight: true

Key	Default	Controls
`use.group.weights`	`false`	Allows acting on an equal-weight target when group weights are in use. Editable with `/verite config` as `moderation.exempt.use.group.weights`.
`permit.same.weight`	`true`	Permits acting on a target of the same weight. Editable with `/verite config` as `moderation.exempt.permit.same.weight`.

Punish Message Templates

moderation.punish.message.templates sets the text shown to punished players and to staff. Templates support \n (newline) and the quantifiers @duration, @enforcer, @target, @reason, @punishment, @total.warns, and @remaining. If no reason was set, @reason is replaced with No reason provided.

moderation:
  punish.message.templates:
    ban.template.temporary: {You have been banned for @duration.\n@reason}
    ban.template.permanent: {You have been permanently banned.\n@reason}
    mute.template.temporary: {You have been muted by @enforcer for @duration.\n@reason}
    mute.template.permanent: {You have been muted by @enforcer.\n@reason}
    mute.notice: {You are muted. Time remaining: @remaining}
    mute.notice.permanent: {You are muted.}
    warn.template: {You have been warned by @enforcer. Active warnings: @total.warns\n@reason}
    kick.template: {You have been kicked by @enforcer.\n@reason}

`kick.template`	`{You have been kicked by @enforcer.\n@reason}`
`admin.receipt.template`	`{@target was @punishment by @enforcer.\n@reason}`

Punishment Tree

The moderation.tree block defines the punishment categories, the escalation steps within each category, and which staff groups may enact which categories. Each category applies its punishments in order. Supported punishment types are warn, mute, kick, and ban. A duration after a colon (for example ban: 14d) makes that step temporary; the same type with no duration is permanent. The final minecraft: entry in each category is the item shown for that category on the punishment GUI.

moderation:
  tree:
    enabled: true
    use.fields: true

Key	Default	Controls
`moderation.tree.enabled`	`true`	Enables the punishment tree.
`moderation.use.fields`	`true`	Uses Minecraft 1.21.7+ Fields for punishment completion rather than chat.

Permissions

moderation.tree.permissions.luckperms maps LuckPerms group names to the categories they may enact. Hierarchy is supported top-down: if your groups go helper then mod then admin, admin inherits the mod and helper categories, and mod inherits the helper categories. Replace the group names with your own.

moderation:

    permissions:
      luckperms:
        helper: {harassment, threats, spam, advertising, macroing, misinformation, inappropriate.content}
