How to Stop the /list Command Spamming Your Console

Published 9 June 2026 · By Host Havoc Technical Support Team

Multicraft runs the /list command automatically to track player counts, which causes repeated messages in your server console. On Bukkit-based servers (Spigot, Paper, PurPur, and similar), you can suppress these messages with the Console Spam Fix plugin.

Before you start: This solution requires a Bukkit-based server JAR. It does not work on vanilla Minecraft servers.

Install Console Spam Fix

  1. Stop your server.
  2. Download the Console Spam Fix plugin from https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/console-spam-fix.18410/.
  3. In the Minecraft panel, click Files, then FTP File Access, and log in.
  4. Open the plugins folder. If it does not exist, create it (all lowercase).
  5. Upload the plugin JAR file to the plugins folder.
  6. Start the server to generate the plugin's config files.

Configure the plugin to hide /list output

  1. Stop the server.
  2. Click Files, then FTP File Access, and log in.
  3. Open the plugins folder, then open the ConsoleSpamFix folder.
  4. Open Config.yml for editing.
  5. Under the Messages-To-Hide-Filter: section, add the following line:
    - 'There are'

    ConsoleSpamFix Config.yml open in the Multicraft file editor showing the Messages-To-Hide-Filter section with the There are entry added
  6. Click Save.
  7. Start the server.

The /list output (which starts with "There are") is now filtered from the console.
