MDChat -----
A chat management plugin for Spigot and Paper implementing MineDown.It's been quite some time, but ChatControl's successor, MDChat, is finally ready for its initial release.
Officially, this is technically a snapshot as there are still features I haven't quite finished yet, however, I have done extensive testing on the features present and it should be very stable. In this version, it contains every feature from ChatControl and more; one of the most notable features that is currently unfinished will be an announcer.
This is a complete re-code of the entire project from the ground up; built with MineDown for extended capabilities regarding message parsing.
Listing all of the changes made would be far too long for an update post like this, so here's a few of the most notable...
Changes
- MineDown text parsing on all messages sent by MDChat; allowing features such as gradients, click/hover events and much more.
- Every file has been restructured, providing better organization, documentation and more.
- New parrot check. Includes a decay option for the latest chat message.
- Fully reworked the chat formatting system; allowing for better organization and a new per-player format option.
- New message of the day system. Includes a delay option.
- Several new rules, including common shorthand terms for curse words and general toxicity have been added.
There's a catch...
MDChat files are not compatible with ChatControl's at all; meaning you will have to recreate, or manually transfer any and all modifications you had. I apologize for this inconvenience, however, it was unavoidable and is much better for the overall health of this project in the long run.
This update has been in the works for quite some time and has been long overdue. Most of my development time has been focused on ChatControl's successor, which made ChatControl take a back burner for a while.

I hope you enjoy the update.

To ensure I don't lose my mind, I have decided to update the way I handle version support for all of my projects. As stable updates of Spigot/Paper are released for major revisions of Minecraft, the supported version stack will shift accordingly.

chatcontrol.bypass.rule.<identifier> Grants access to bypass a specific rule, e.g. chatcontrol.bypass.rule.advert to bypass the default advert rule.
• Added per-permission chat color and formatting codes
The new permission format is as follows:
chatcontrol.color.* Grants access to use all color codes.
chatcontrol.color.<code> Grants access to use a specific color code, e.g. chatcontrol.color.a to use the &a color code.
chatcontrol.format.* Grants access to use all formatting codes.
chatcontrol.format.<code> Grants access to use a specific format code, e.g. chatcontrol.format.k to use the &k format code.

[Fixes]
• Fixed some default rule false positives
• Fixed some default rule false positives
[Changes]
• Reworked chat formatting placeholders
This is a breaking change which will require manual modifications to your format.yml file. The default and available placeholders have changed to provide more control over usernames and display names. You can find the new format placeholders here.
• Reworked sign checking to be more straight-forward
This change removed the ability to run replacements on signs. Now, both cancelled and replaced rules will cause the sign to be removed. Unfortunately, this change was necessary because replacing text on signs was inefficient and troublesome to maintain.

[Removals]
• Removed customizable permissions
Customizable permissions have been on the chopping block for quite some time. The feature was extremely difficult to maintain and required hacky code to remain functional. This was proving to be a problem when adding some of the new features from this update. You can view all the new permissions here.
I firmly believe the removal of this feature will be a good change in the long run.
