ChatPlugin

ChatPlugin is a powerful and modular plugin that allows you to customize your server's appearance by modifying not only the chat, but many other aspects of it. It also offers several modules to make server administration easier. Visit its website for more information.

An add-on with essential modules and commands like /tpa and /sethome is coming soon! Join the Discord for more information.

Note: I have been working on this plugin for a while now, but it has just been released to the public. I have tried my best to keep it bug-free, but because of its size it may contain some. Please report any bugs on our Discord server and consider donating and leaving a positive review here if you find my work useful. :)

The plugin's installation is very straightforward. Follow the official guide on my website to set it up in less than 5 minutes.

The free version offers a lot of modules and perks for your server, its users and its Staff members.
