The Official Chat Plugin of VENTUREMC
VentureChat is a do-it-all chat plugin rated as the #1 Bukkit chat resource on Spigot. Much of what makes VentureChat so great is its versatility. VentureChat functions extremely well on all types of servers - big or small - Bukkit or Bungee. The plugin also has a bunch of configurable and toggleable special features, including a Moderation GUI, mute management, JSON hovers, channels, Bungee/network channels, grouped server channels, private channels, placeholders (lots of placeholder capabilities) and much more. If it involves chat, VentureChat can do it.

Not sure what to do with the new "offline_mode_acknowledgement" setting? Read this detailed explanation!
Code (Text):
IP Forwarding covers the Spigot servers (which is discussed in the config if you're not using it for some reason)
You'd know if you're running a cracked server... You'd have a separate auth plugin requiring a new player to register a password and a skins restorer, etc.
If you enable the setting when you don't need to, you're disabling the protections against offline mode data. You don't want offline mode data and online mode data in the same folder. So basically, if you have the setting enabled, you're on your own for any strange errors that may result from intermingling the two data types. And my solution to those people would be to wipe the data and start over.
The plugin will work perfectly fine in offline mode IF you don't mix the data types. But what's more likely is a noobie server owner forgets to enable IP Forwarding on their network and then the servers start generating offline mode data. They then correct the issue and now the servers start generating online mode data. Can you see the problem here? Which is why I have built in protections so you can't accidently save offline mode data without acknowledging that you want to do so, because most of the time, you don't want to!
Long story short... you should have that setting OFF to leave the protections in place unless you are running a "cracked" server.
