A modified and updated version of Evadez' Staff Chat Plugin ( https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/staff-chat.17706/)

(Console View)


Features:

• Send messages to all staff members online
• Toggle staff chat mode
  
• Configurable messages
• View a list of all staff online regardless of if they are vanished or not
  
• Very lightweight
• Custom join/leave message that is broadcasted to the console and other staff online for when you join in vanish or have the essentials permission essentials.silentjoin.vanish. Can be disabled in config
  
• No annoying telemetry/bstats

Added functionality over vanilla StaffChat:

• Chat with a # prefix rather than the /sc command (#message)
  
• View and log staff chat in console
• Send staff chat messages from console to staff in game (/sc)
• Code Cleanup/removal of unused code
• Removed VanishNoPacket hooks
• Ranks that cannot use SCR commands cannot tab complete them
• List all staff online

Commands:

• /sc <message> (send a message to staff and the console)
• /sct or /sctoggle (Toggle staff chat mode. All messages will now be sent to staff without having to type /sc beforehand)
• /scr or /screload (Reload the config file)
• /scwho (list all staff online)
  
• #<message> in chat to send it to staff chat

Example of /scwho


Permissions:

• staff.chat (default OP) - Send and receive staff messages
• staff.reload (default OP) - Reload the config

Why?
I modified and updated this plugin as I wanted a simple and lightweight way to talk to other staff without the bloat of channels or different chatgroups. The original staff chat plugin is pretty good but it lacked in some essential features such as sending and receiving staff messages from the console and the ability to quickly send messages by just starting a message with a #.
Also did some minor code cleanup and optimizations as the original plugin did not follow OOP well and had a bug where players could see the plugin's commands in tabcomplete even if they did not have permission to use them (which irks me endlessly).
