config/commands.json

A BDS file that overrides the permission level required to see and execute individual commands. Because Endstone-registered commands share the same command registry, the override applies to vanilla and Endstone commands - useful for hiding noisy or unsafe commands from non-operators, or for re-leveling a command without writing a plugin.

The file lives at <server>/config/commands.json. It isn't created automatically - add it yourself when you want to override defaults. Without it, every command keeps its default level.

Sample

{
  "permission_levels": {
    "tell": "internal"
  }
}

The example raises /tell to internal, which no real player can hold - the command effectively disappears from chat autocomplete and is rejected if typed.
