CustomChat
A modern Minecraft chat plugin for Paper servers with full PlaceholderAPI support and rich message customization.

CustomChat is a highly customizable chat formatting plugin for Paper Minecraft servers. It allows you to create different chat formats based on permissions, with support for colors, hover messages, click actions, and PlaceholderAPI integration.

Designed for performance and flexibility, CustomChat supports both legacy and modern chat events depending on your server version.

Features

• Format chat messages using MiniMessage or legacy color codes (&)
• Multiple chat formats with permission-based priority
• Support for hover tooltips and click actions (suggest command, open URL, etc.)
• Configurable message colors and formatting
• Optionally blocks the &k obfuscated text code
• Integration with PlaceholderAPI for dynamic player info
• Simple /customchat reload command to reload config without restart

Commands

• /customchat reload | Reloads the config file | customchat.reload
• /chatcolor | Opens the chatcolor menu | customchat.chatcolor
• /customchat mentiontoggle | If mentioning is enabled, toggle per player | customchat.mentiontoggle

Permissions

• customchat.admin | Allows access to /customchat reload
• customchat.format.<format> | Allows usage of the specified chat format
• customchat.changecolor | Allows changing color of own messages
• customchat.changeformat | Allows changing format of own messages
• customchat.chatcolor | Allows access to /chatcolor
• customchat.colorchat.color.<color> | Allows access to a specific color in colorchat
• customchat.colorchat.gradient.<gradient> | Allows access to a specific gradient in colorchat
• customchat.hover.item | Allow access to [item]
• customchat.hover.inv | Allow access to [inv]
• customchat.hover.ender | Allow access to [ender]
• customchat.mentiontoggle | Allow access to /customchat mentiontoggle

How it Works

1. The plugin loads chat formats defined in config.yml.
2. When a player sends a message, the plugin:
   
   • Detects their applicable format (based on permission priority).
     
   • Applies placeholders, colors, and hover/click actions.
     
   • Sends the formatted message to all players and the console.
     
3. If the player has the proper permission, they can use & color codes in their messages
4. If &k is blocked and the player uses it, they receive a warning.

Installation

1. Download the plugin JAR.
2. Download PlaceholderAPI
3. Place it in your plugins folder.
4. Restart the server.
5. Configure config.yml and run /customchat reload.
