ClickCopyChat — make every chat line copyable, not just player messages.
This plugin adds a native copy_to_clipboard click action to all chat-bound text—player chat and most plugin/system outputs—so players can click any message to copy its exact plain text. Visual formatting/colors are preserved and a subtle “Click to copy” hover hint is added. If a chat packet can’t be modified in place, the plugin safely cancels and re-sends a decorated copy to guarantee copyability (no duplicates; action-bar overlays are excluded).

Highlights

• Works on player chat (Paper/Adventure renderer) and most plugin/system messages (via ProtocolLib packet interception).
  
  
• Deep application to child components → the entire line is copyable.
  
  
• Preserves colors/formatting; adds “Click to copy” hover.
  
  
• Built-in diagnostics: /cccdebug, /cccpackets.
  
  
• Graceful degrade: without ProtocolLib, player chat is still copyable.
  

Requirements

• Server: Paper 1.21.x
  
  
• Java: 17+
  
  
• Dependency (recommended): ProtocolLib to cover plugin/system messages

Installation

1. Install ProtocolLib (drop its jar in /plugins) if you want plugin/system messages covered.
   
   
2. Drop ClickCopyChat jar in /plugins.
   
   
3. Fully restart the server (don’t /reload).
   
   
4. (Optional) In-game:
   
   • /cccpackets → verify hooked packet types (e.g., SYSTEM_CHAT, CHAT).
     
     
   • /cccdebug → toggle debug logs during testing.
     

Limitations

• copy_to_clipboard is a Java client feature; Bedrock clients (Geyser/floodgate) won’t copy.
  
  
• Titles/subtitles/action-bar aren’t standard chat; mirroring can be added as an optional toggle if desired.
