SLATECHAT
A modular, channel-based chat plugin for Paper and Folia, 1.21.x – 26.x.
SlateChat swaps out vanilla chat for something built to run a real community: channels instead of one global firehose, per-player styling players can pick themselves, and enough moderation baked in that you're not babysitting chat by hand.
KEY FEATURES
EVERYTHING BUILT IN.
Channels
Local and global channels keep town chat separate from the whole server.
Folia support
Chat delivery is fully region-safe, so it runs correctly on Folia's multithreaded server core, not just Paper.
Per-player colors
Players pick their own chat color, no config editing required.
Rich formatting
Full MineDown and MiniMessage support for staff and players alike.
Moderation built in
Word filtering plus spam and flood protection out of the box.
Read receipts
An action bar indicator shows players their message was seen.
DiscordSRV bridge
Optional one-way bridge to Discord, routed per-channel through DiscordSRV’s own config.
ItemsAdder compatible
Font images resolve wherever chat renders text — emoji, ranks, custom icons — detected automatically.
