Zen

Zen bridges Minecraft chat with Bale messenger groups through the official Bale Bot API Messages sent in-game appear in Bale, and messages sent in Bale are delivered directly to Minecraft

Features

  • Two-Way Chat Bridge — Synchronize messages between Minecraft and Bale in real time.

  • Official Bale Bot API Integration — Uses Bale's official API for communication.

  • Retry System — Automatic exponential backoff for failed API requests

  • Per-Event Control — Enable or disable individual bridge events:

    • Chat messages
    • Player joins
    • Player leaves
    • Death messages
    • Advancements

  • Rate Limiting — Token-bucket based protection against spam and API abuse

  • Improved Logging — Detailed console output with actionable error information

  • Thread-Safe Architecture — Designed for concurrent message processing and validation

  • Long Polling Support — Efficient update retrieval with offset tracking

  • Banned Word Filter — Block configured words before they reach either platform

  • Player Ignore List — Exclude selected players from the bridge

  • Custom Formatting — Supports placeholders and Minecraft color formatting

  • Lightweight & Configurable — Simple setup with minimal overhead
