AuraChat

AuraChat

A clean chat. A better conversation.

Give your server a chat that feels like its own. AuraChat combines customizable formatting, private messaging, anti-spam protection, and moderation tools in one configurable plugin.

Built for Paper 1.21.4–1.21.11. Developed by Aura Studio.

Make It Yours

Customize your public chat with player names, world names, and LuckPerms rank prefixes. Add more information through PlaceholderAPI and its expansions.

AuraChat includes a warm orange-and-gold theme, with configurable colors, messages, and private message layouts. Change the plugin prefix in one place and apply your configuration with /aurachat reload.

Keep Players Connected

Make private conversations easy:

• Send messages with /msg, /tell, or /w.
• Reply to your last conversation with /reply or /r.
• Use /ignore to hide a player’s public messages and block private messaging between both players.

Keep Conversations Readable

Configure protection against common chat spam:

• Message cooldowns to slow down rapid messages.
• Repeated-message blocking to prevent duplicate messages.
• Uppercase limits to reduce excessive caps.

Protection applies to public chat and private messages sent through AuraChat. Permission-based exceptions are available for trusted players and staff.

Give Staff Simple Controls

Manage conversations without complicated commands:

• Mute or unmute players across public chat and AuraChat private messages.
• Lock public chat when announcements need everyone’s attention.
• Clear chat to remove clutter from the screen.

Mutes, ignored players, and the public chat lock are saved across server restarts.
