FAQ:

Are mentions case-sensitive?
No! You do not need to type another player's name exactly how it appears, it is case-insensitive.
Can I change the mention symbol/use none?
You can change the mention symbol in the config.yml with mentionSymbol. You can have none by leaving the string blank.

How do I contact you?
You can contact me via my Discord server, send a private message, or any other contact method you prefer!

Will you add [this]?
Maybe. Let me know what you want to add through my Discord server, private message, or discussions. You can also contribute to the GitHub repository!

I found a bug!
Thanks for finding a bug! Contact me through any of the methods I've provided. Please add basic information like the plugin version, your server version, error(s) if any, etc. You can also contribute to the GitHub repository! If something is broken on a legacy version (<1.8), don't expect fixes to be quick especially if it requires many hoops to fix.

Does this support (x) version?
Likely, the plugin is quite simple and should work for most versions. It has been tested to work on as low as 1.8 and high as the latest (1.20.1) while being created with the Spigot 1.13 API.

bStats:

This plugin uses bStats, a plugin to collect anonymous statistics for the plugin. This plugin will not, and can not, collect any personal information with bStats and the performance impact of it is minimal.
If you still wish to disable bStats, head over to the bStats plugin folder and disable it from the config.
