  prefix: "&8[&aGM&8]&r "
  usage: "&cUsage: /gm <0|1|2|3|survival|creative|adventure|spectator|reload>"
  only-players: "&cOnly players can use this command."
  no-permission: "&cYou do not have permission to use that gamemode."

Just use Essentials!

Does it have Discord webhook support?

Not yet, but I will add it in the future

That's also available on the Download page, even though its less maintaned it should work perfectly
