HayaMessage

Next-Generation Chat Bubbles for Your Server

HayaMessage brings your server's chat to life by displaying messages directly above players' heads. Perfect for SMPs, RPG servers, and social hubs, this plugin makes communication more immersive and intuitive. No longer do players need to stare at the bottom-left corner of their screen to follow a conversation!

This plugin utilizes modern Minecraft Text Display entities (1.19.4+), ensuring high performance and smooth visuals without the lag associated with old Armor Stand methods.
