Been using dev builds for a while. Great dev work for a great plugin!
The bot config is overly complex, and if it were up to me, would be much more simple... but then I remember my days of running eggdrop bots and their configs, and this is butter in comparison.
I use this on a private IRC server to monitor my MC servers, and player chat / requests for help.
With the right IRC client, highlighting specific words and names to push notifications to the IRC user... great for help requests and for those who are being obscene too. Can't monitor all your servers at once? With PurpleIRC, you too can!
Seriously though, I've never had stability or available issues caused by PurpleIRC and it does what I need and ooooh so much more.
This is by far the best IRC Plugin available on spigot to this day!
after 1.5.2 i switched from CraftIRC to Purple IRC Years ago and since then it has just made Everything much more manageable and usable in general, everything is configurable and i have never experienced an issue with this, Defiantly recommend you give this a try!
Need to point out my BungeeCord network is now using cnaude's BungeeCord version of PurpleIRC, but we was using his Spigot version recently and the plugins share most of the same codebase.
cnaude is a plugin author that you don't come across very often. His support and dedication is what I would describe truely amazing! If something isn't working he'll be there to fix the issue straight away and make a build for it. Feature requests are implemented. This is someone that care for his plugins and those using it!
The Spigot version of PurpleIRC is very good and runs extremly well. We had no issues whatsoever with this plugin. Would highly recommend it to anyone that would like to either:
(a) give their players the ability to talk to those in-game from IRC instead of using badly done Android apps.
(b) would like to moderate their Minecraft server chat without having to be in-game all the time.
Been using this plugin for more than a year now. When I first installed this plugin I was amazed with all the features. It hooks into the plugins we use for example grief-prevention, and venturechat. It also works perfectly with chatcontrol. This plugin is very mature and the developer is very helpful. If you are into linking your minecraft chat to IRC, this is the no1 plugin you need.
Been using PurpleIRC for over a year. Great plugin, so many useful and powerful features, author is very nice and always responds to my questions politely and quickly, and almost always takes suggestions and implements them. I highly recommend this plugin.
By far the best and most feature rich Minecraft-IRC bridge out there. I should have made the switch ages ago. Would recommend to anyone who wants a Minecraft-IRC bridge!
After 9 hours of learning about IRC, I have successfully setup this bot. Documentation is a little lacking however - at least the FAQ covers some of the basics.
Great plugin, even greater developer. cnaude is super fast and really helpful whenever I had a problem or question with the plugin. 10/10 would use again.
