SlateChat

SlateChat replaces vanilla chat with a channel-based system. Instead of one global chat, players talk in channels — local (radius or world based) or global broadcasts — each with its own format, permission and behavior. It's written in Kotlin and continues the work started by SimplexChat by Lucas Manoel Lopes.

Requirements

Features

• Local (radius/world) and global channels, plus your own custom channels
• Per-player chat color with /chatcolor, supporting hex and legacy codes
• MiniMessage and MineDown formatting, so links and gradients work straight from the config
• Chat focus, letting players lock themselves to a default channel
• Word filtering, with censoring or word-for-word replacement
• Spam (repeated character) and flood (repeated message) protection
• Action bar read receipts, showing a sender how many players saw their message
• Optional one-way bridge to DiscordSRV

Installation

1. Download the latest SlateChat.jar build (or build it yourself from the GitLab repository).
2. Drop the jar into your server's plugins/ folder.
3. Make sure PlaceholderAPI is installed alongside it.
4. Start the server once to generate config.yml, channels.yml, color.yml, filter.yml and focus.yml.
5. Edit the generated files to taste, then reload with /slatechat reload.
