What is McChatSetup?
McChatSetup is a lightweight, feature-rich Java library that lets you
create seamless chat-based input systems using fluent builder pattern - perfect for Spigot plugin developers who want elegant, readable, and powerful player input collection.
Forget complex event handling. Use expressions like:
Code (Java):
McChatSetup.
empty
(plugin
)
. addPlayer (player )
. append ( "&aEnter your message within <time> seconds!" )
. setTime ( 30 )
. onInput (input -> player. sendMessage ( "You said: " + input ) )
. build ( ) ;
. addPlayer (player )
. append ( "&aEnter your message within <time> seconds!" )
. setTime ( 30 )
. onInput (input -> player. sendMessage ( "You said: " + input ) )
. build ( ) ;
Why McChatSetup over Manual Chat Listeners?
Traditional Bukkit:
Code (Java):
// Messy, error-prone, memory leaks everywhere!
Map <UUID, Long > waitingPlayers = new HashMap <> ( ) ;
@EventHandler
public void onPlayerChat (AsyncPlayerChatEvent event ) {
UUID uuid = event. getPlayer ( ). getUniqueId ( ) ;
if (waitingPlayers. containsKey (uuid ) ) {
// Handle timeout manually
// Clean up manually
// Validate manually
// What a mess!
}
}
Map <UUID, Long > waitingPlayers = new HashMap <> ( ) ;
@EventHandler
public void onPlayerChat (AsyncPlayerChatEvent event ) {
UUID uuid = event. getPlayer ( ). getUniqueId ( ) ;
if (waitingPlayers. containsKey (uuid ) ) {
// Handle timeout manually
// Clean up manually
// Validate manually
// What a mess!
}
}
With McChatSetup:
Code (Java):
McChatSetup.
empty
(plugin
)
. addPlayer (player )
. append ( "&eWhat's your favorite color?" )
. setTime ( 20 )
. withValidator (input -> input. length ( ) > 2 )
. onInput (color -> player. sendMessage ( "&aYour favorite: " + color ) )
. onFail ( ( ) -> player. sendMessage ( "&cTime's up!" ) )
. build ( ) ; // Automatic cleanup, validation, timeout handling!
. addPlayer (player )
. append ( "&eWhat's your favorite color?" )
. setTime ( 20 )
. withValidator (input -> input. length ( ) > 2 )
. onInput (color -> player. sendMessage ( "&aYour favorite: " + color ) )
. onFail ( ( ) -> player. sendMessage ( "&cTime's up!" ) )
. build ( ) ; // Automatic cleanup, validation, timeout handling!

player. sendMessage ( "&cMust be between 1-100!" ) ;
return false ;
}
return true ;
} catch ( NumberFormatException e ) {
player. sendMessage ( "&cPlease enter a valid number!" ) ;
return false ;
}
} )
. onInput (input -> {
int number = Integer. parseInt (input ) ;
player. sendMessage ( "&aYou entered: " + number ) ;
} )

}
return true ;
} catch ( NumberFormatException e ) {
player. sendMessage ( "&cPlease enter a valid number!" ) ;
return false ;
}
} )

int number = Integer. parseInt (input ) ;
player. sendMessage ( "&aYou entered: " + number ) ;
} )
