ChatBridge

ChatBridge is a Minecraft plugin that bridges chat messages between multiple servers using WebSockets. It can operate in both server and client modes, allowing for flexible configurations.

Demo:


Features

- Server Mode: Acts as a WebSocket server to broadcast messages to connected clients.
- Client Mode: Connects to a WebSocket server to send and receive messages.
- Configurable: Easily configurable through `config.yml`.
- Event Handling: Uses an event bus to handle incoming messages.
- Message Formatting: Customizable message format with placeholders for player names and messages.

Installation

1. Download the ChatBridge plugin jar file.
2. Place the jar file in the `plugins` directory of your Minecraft server.
3. Start the server to generate the default configuration file.

Configuration

Edit the `config.yml` file in the `plugins/ChatBridge` directory to configure the plugin:


Usage

- Server Mode: When isServer is set to `true`, the plugin will start a WebSocket server on the specified port.
- Client Mode: When isServer is set to `false`, the plugin will connect to the specified WebSocket server address.

Commands

- `/chatbridge reload` - Reloads the plugin configuration and restarts the WebSocket connection.
