Overview
ViaChatFixer is a small Spigot plugin that allows 1.11+ players to have longer chat messages on 1.8-1.10 servers with ViaVersion

In Minecraft 1.11, the maximum messages length has gone from 100 characters to 256 characters. So if your server is under 1.11, 1.11 and higher players will have their chat messages cut at 100 characters.

This plugin fix this problem, so 1.11 and higher players will able to send longer chat messages up to 256 characters

Exemple with message of 165 characters on a 1.8.8 server:


Features

• Really light and simple: no config and no commands
• Compatible with other chat plugins that don't use chat packets (wich plugin would use it ?)

Installation
Just put the ViaChatFixer jar in your plugins folder. Currently this plugin only works on Spigot, but Sponge support should be added soon. This plugin can work with BungeeCord as long as ViaVersion and this plugin are on the Spigot servers.

All players online during a reload will not be able to have longer chat messages until they reconnect
