Sentry

New Module: Fog of War

Added a new module called "Fog of War" (inspired by anticheat-methods by the same name), this module allows Sentry to completely block and hide other players from getting information and packets about other players when they are hidden behind a wall or at out of sight. This completely removes any way of players that could use Wallhacks/PlayerESP/X-Rays to see and track other players behind blocks. - This module requires Sentry Prime. - In the plugin version, requires PacketEvents to be installed. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/5h1NxsRzeR8" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Small update bringing a new feature to Security Patches, following some recent exploits found by the "roote.rs" group, I have implemented a way where you can block command block minecarts from your server using Sentry. (this is enabled by default in 1.0.6+) Command Block Minecarts can be spawned by custom exploited NBT items and can be VERY harmful for your server (it is a literally a command block). Changes - Code improvements, now using way more static values for better performance

Small update adding some new commands and features to the plugin! Enhanced plugin main command with a new Tab Completer.

Added new commands
