ChatStyle

ChatStyle

A chat plugin for Paper servers featuring customizable message styling, local/global chat, private messaging, and spam protection.

✨ Features

Chat Styles

• Players can pick their own message style with /chatstyle
• Each style customizes formatting for global chat, local chat, broadcasts, private messages, and join/quit messages - all via MiniMessage (HEX colors, gradients, and more)
• Access to styles is permission-based (chatstyle.style.)

Local & Global Chat

• By default, messages are only seen by nearby players (configurable radius)
• Prefix your message with ! to send it to global chat instead
• Players are notified if no one heard their local message

Private Messages

• /msg (aliases: /m, /w, /whisper, /pm, /tell)
• /reply (aliases: /r) - quick reply to your last conversation partner

Chat Protection

• Regex-based message filter (blocks links, ads, banned words, etc.)
• Anti-spam protection: cooldown between messages and duplicate message blocking
• Players with chatstyle.bypass are exempt from filters and spam checks

Other

• /broadcast (aliases: /announce, /alert, /bc) - server-wide announcements, styled per each viewer's chosen style
• /chatstylereload - reload the config without restarting the server
• PlaceholderAPI and MiniPlaceholders integration
• Fully customizable plugin messages (localization-friendly)

⚙️ Requirements

• MiniPlaceholders (required)
