SIR - Modular Chat Plugin [1.8 - 1.21] -----

A modular chat plugin that have a lot of functions to customize your server.




Version: 3.1
I don't usually give bad reviews to plugins, but this was a special case.

I had great expectations from this plugin, but it was a total mess. Poor documentation, not working reload command, commands not shown in the /sir menu, I wasn't even able to modify the default format for the chat due to the non helpful comments in the configs.

This requires a serious redesign and provide at least a minimum of information in the documentation. The wiki for the chat channels is completely empty.

Thanks for the review and your honesty about the old SIR version.

Sorry it was a hot mess—broken reload, missing commands, bad docs, empty wiki.

But, in v1.3 we’ve fixed it all.

Solid /sir reload that actually works
Clear config comments so you can tweak chat formats
Fully stocked wiki with examples and guides

If you run into anything else or have suggestions, please drop by our Discord or open an issue on GitHub. Thanks again for helping us make SIR better!

Version: 3.0.13

With a wide range of features, including advanced chat settings, mentions, profanity filters, tag management, and much more, it's the ultimate solution for server administrators who want to offer a seamless gaming experience to their players.

What truly sets this plugin apart is the attention to detail provided by its developer. The availability and kindness with which the developer engages with the community's requests are impressive. They're always ready to step in to fix any bugs or make custom changes, ensuring a smooth and cutting-edge experience.

This plugin is the perfect choice to take your Minecraft server to the next level.

Version: 3.0.13
It is a very good plugin, the only thing it would lack is that you can switch between a staff chat and that it has the /helpop and /report commands, but everything else is fine :D

Version: 3.0
Announce doesn't work for 1.20.1 ! fix this and i will change my review! !

You can go to our Discord server instead of reviewing the plugin negatively.
Common sense young man.

Version: 2.2-R10
CroaBeast's support was fantastic. Everything works, but incase you're getting fancy with this plugin it's great to know you will have high quality support, and I got many same-day responses!

** works on 1.20.1 spigot/paper **

SIR is more versatile than most, if not ALL chat handling plugins (saving your server's resources and lowering your plugin requirements)!

Version: 2.2-R10
THIS IS SO GOOD
I love this and if I can give it more than 5 I will thank you for making such an amazing plugin

Version: 2.2-R10
Hello Croa Beast, I am a user of your S.R.I PLUGIN, I think your plugin is particularly good because I am Chinese on our forum mcbbs there is no S.R.I. SO I would like to move your S.R.I to mcbbs I would like to declare the removal and your removal permission and would like to ask if you can by

Version: 2.2-R10
very good features! i would 100% recommend this plugin. It has a lot of cool features you can do to your server and make it neat looking.

Version: 2.2-R10
Please add 'anti chat spam!' config. Thanks! It's crazy for a chat plugin not to include this! :(

Version: 2.1-R9
Great plugin to add additional chat features... plays nicely with townychat and discordsrv.. best bit you can just dump %placeholder% stuff into chat and it will format them so you can test them out quicker ... unlike other chat plugins.

It was a little of hard work to add a json type message. I still don't use MiniMessage because of its color format, but adding a json type format was very good.
Thanks for the review!

Version: 2.0-R1
Great customer support. Plugin was made with a lot of love to details. You can turn your server to a beautiful attractive one with this plugin features with the announcements, chat, titles and emojis.

Version: 1.5-R13
A good and well-made plugin that keeps many different features inside. The support on discord is friendly and helps when needed.

What clown did review that as a bad plugin?
Lemme explain SIR quickly.

S.I.R. is an awesome chat formatting, message alerts, and many more features plugin. It's perfectly working especially on 1.17 and 1.18 where the plugin shows its potential of becoming the most configurable message plugin for free. I'm using S.I.R. for a few weeks and the developer is incredible by his teacher Kihsomray.

There are some pros and cons about the plugin you should know before you install it:

PROS
+ Highly customizable
+ Centered message, gradient/hex message support out of the box
+ Custom advancement messages (this is the first plugin that I know it can do that)
+ Easy to use
+ Lightweight and great coded (0.00% used in Aikar's timings)
+ Shoutout to the developer: Very helpful and I'm very proud of him

CONS
- Lack of documentation for less understandable ones (Not a big deal. I think he told me that docs will be in a few weeks ready)
- Low propagation (Not a problem, just saying. This plugin should be more propagated as its feature neat things and it's working perfectly)
- Maybe add more text and info to the plugin page (Here on SpigotMC)? - THAT'S NOT A PROBLEM!

In nutshell... S.I.R. is a helpful plugin that you can use daily and you will have no problem at all. Good luck CroaBeast. You're making really good progress over time, keep it up.
Mby I'll edit that review in a few weeks after docs will be published :))

IF YOU HAVE ANY PROBLEM, GO ON THE DISCORD SUPPORT SERVER AND SEARCH FOR HELP, DON'T REVIEW IT THAT BAD BCS YOU DIDN'T ASK THE DEV!!!

Very awesome plugin! Author has been working day and night on releasing updates and making sure there are no issues.

Please disregard the review below this one. Plugins are not always something you can just put on your server and expect it to be perfectly set up. The reason for this is to show you the unique features the plugin provides. That way you can decide what you want to keep or not.

In its current state, it honestly deserves to be a premium plugin, but the Croa is nice enough to keep it free to everyone.

Much respect, please continue updating and being amazing :p

Version: 1.5-R4
Not using this because of the obnoxious defaults this comes with. It's not funny in professional settings. I was confused, the players were confused, if only the defaults were nice and simple so I don't have to hunt and find everything else that may be activated on startup.

Hi, thanks for the review.
You seem to have had trouble configuring the plugin, as did many of the people who joined the Discord support server and asked for help before writing a review.
Each feature can be disabled in its own file (not the advancements feature for saving issues). Any problem and / or suggestion for the plugin that you want to say can be consulted on our Discord support server.
Doing a review giving a complaint before at least considering contacting the author of said plugin, only reflects the little interest in the plugin, that you can easily ignore it without having to complain about it.
Have a nice day.

Version: 1.5-R1
This plugin is pretty great at everything it attempts, despite attempting a lot of things. Easy to configure, easy to disable anything you don't need, no issues so far. I like it.

Author's response
Glad you like the plugin!
Thanks for the kind review

Version: 1.4-R3
This is a great plugin with many useful features for the server I manage. I originally got it because I needed to replace the long out of date AutoMessage plugin, and this plugin has many other useful features, besides good timed chat announcements. When I needed help with config, I messaged the support channel in the Discord server and the developer was very helpful and quick to respond. This is one of the best plugins I've ever used.

I'm planning to add more features in a future.
Hope the plugin will still be usefull for you :D

Version: 1.4-R3
It's great, awesome for custom messasges, cool for chat announcements at the center of the chat, and also has a great support! 100% recommended

Lamento la respuesta re tarde xd
Me alegro que el plugin sea de tu agrado y te sea útil.

Version: 2.0.1
Over 300 downloads, 20 active servers, 25 players, and no ratings yet... This makes me sad. This plugin is phenomenal for any server, feature-packed for claiming to be simple (extremely customizable). On top of that, the resource is constantly updated by an amazing author.

In my personal experience, I had an issue with permissions, and Croa quickly located and fixed it. Very difficult to find an author with such a rapid reaction time.

To anyone who is debating getting this plugin, you shouldn't - just get it!

Thank you CroaBeast for the amazing resource, keep up the astounding work <3
