ChatNext
The definitive chat management solution for modern Minecraft servers. ChatNext is a lightweight, efficient, and highly customizable chat plugin designed to replace cumbersome, outdated chat managers. Built from the ground up for compatibility with Spigot 1.20+, it offers the perfect balance between professional features and simplicity.
Features
ChatNext launches with a robust core set of features designed to improve communication.
Languages
ChatNext is multilingual. Out of the box, we support English (en), Spanish (es), and Portuguese (pt). All messages are separated into language files in the `/idiomas/` folder. This allows administrators to easily change the server language in the `config.yml` or create translations.
Format
* Configurable: Define your chat structure using `{prefix}`, `{player}`, and `{message}`. * Configurable: Control exactly how the chat looks via the `config.yml`. Example: `&8[&bPrefix&8] {player} &8» &f{message}`.
Private
* Block: Includes native `/msg` (aliases: `tell`, `w`, `m`) and `/reply` (`r`) commands. * Block: Conversations use player UUIDs, preventing memory leaks. * Block: Messaging can be disabled entirely via the config. * Block: A clean prevention system stops players from messaging themselves.
Alerts
* Custom: Completely disable Minecraft's default yellow join/quit messages. * Custom: Define unique, colorful, and localized messages in the `config.yml` that appear when a player enters or leaves.
Commands
Core
* `/chatnext` (Alias: `/cn`): Base command. * `/chatnext reload`: Reloads `config.yml` and language files instantly. Permission: `chatnext.admin`
Messages
