UPDATE: 1.1
With this update i change the code for the /clearchat command. Also made it so if the person has the permissiion to clear chat there chat won't be cleared when they run the chat.
Would like to know if you would like to to be two different commands so like
.clearchat and .clearchat.bypass or just keep it as one

Fixed Config not loading
