ClearChat: The Universal Chat Manager


A modern, stable, and highly configurable chat solution engineered to work flawlessly across Minecraft versions 1.8.8 to 1.21.x.

After a technical overhaul, ClearChat is back and built to solve all your server's chat management needs—from preventing spam to providing flexible moderation tools.



✨ Key Features




️ Universal Stability & Anti-Spam


ClearChat is built to handle high-traffic environments without issue.1

• Massive Version Support: Engineered to work reliably from 1.8.8 through 1.21.x, making it the ideal choice for server networks running diverse versions.
  
  
• Thread-Safe Core: Critical stability fixes ensure that high chat load will never cause server crashes or main-thread lag.
  
  
• Swear/Censor Filter: Blocks configurable words and replaces them instantly.
  
  
• Anti-Flood & Repetition Blocking: Stops players from spamming rapid-fire messages or repeating their last line.
  

Full Control & Moderation


Grant your staff the tools they need and keep chat clean.

• Global Chat Clear: Clear the entire chat history for all players (/cc all).
  
  
• Targeted Chat Clear: Clear the chat history for a specific player (/cc player <name>).
  
  
• PM Spy: Allows staff to monitor all private messages (/cc spy).
  
  
• Global Chat Mute: Instantly silence all non-admin players (/cc mute).
  
  
• Broadcasts: Send highly formatted, server-wide messages (/cc broadcast).
  

Customization & Integration

• PlaceholderAPI Support: Fully integrated to display player prefixes, ranks, world, and custom data in chat (requires PlaceholderAPI).
  
  
• Color Code Support: Allows players with the correct permission (clearchat.color) to use color and formatting codes (&a, &l, etc.).
  
  
• Zero Downtime Reload: Update configuration settings on the fly (/cc reload).
  

⚠️ Important Testing Notice


The Universal Version Goal (1.8.8 - 1.21.x) involved a complete rewrite of core systems. While commands and core messaging are validated, features like PlaceholderAPI integration and Anti-Spam logic require stress-testing across different Minecraft versions.

We highly encourage the community to test these features and report any bugs!
