# QuillChat - Customizable Chat for Minecraft Servers **QuillChat** is a simple and flexible plugin for Paper-based servers (version 1.21 and above), allowing full customization of the in-game chat. With it, you can configure global and local chat, add placeholder support, manage link sending, and more. Ideal for role-playing servers where chat separation by distance is important, or for any projects needing a stylish and functional chat. The plugin is developed in Java using Gradle, and it uses `paper-plugin.yml` for the manifest, ensuring compatibility with the Paper API. ## Key Features - **Advanced Group-Based Chat Formats**: Now you can create completely custom chat styles for any player group (Default, VIP, Admin, Donor, YouTuber, etc.). - **Global Chat**: All players see messages. Use a prefix (default `!`) to switch from local mode. - **Local Chat**: Messages are visible only within a radius (default 100 blocks). Perfect for immersive gameplay where players communicate only with those nearby. - **Customizable Formats**: Use MiniMessage for color formatting. In the config, set templates like `{player}` for the name and `{message}` for the text. Supports placeholders from LuckPerms (e.g., `%luckperms_prefix%`). - **Link Support**: Automatic URL parsing in chat with clickability. You can globally allow/disallow links or restrict them with the permission `quillchat.links`. - **Commands**: - `/chat reload` - Reload the configuration (requires permission `quillchat.reload`). - **Integration with PlaceholderAPI**: If installed, the plugin automatically uses placeholders for dynamic content (e.g., prefixes from LuckPerms). - **Permissions**: - `quillchat.reload`: For reloading the config (default for OP). - `quillchat.links`: For sending links (default for OP if globally allowed). - `quillchat.format.default`: Default chat format (default: true). - **Chat Enable/Disable**: Fully disable the chat in the config if needed. ## Installation 1. Download the JAR file from Modrinth. 2. Place it in your server's `plugins` folder. 3. Restart the server - the plugin will automatically create `config.yml` in the `plugins/QuillChat` folder. 4. Customize the config to your liking and use `/chat reload` to apply changes without restarting. ## Configuration (config.yml) Here's an example of the base config: ```yml # Chat settings for the QuillChat plugin chat-settings: enable: true global-chat-symbol: "!" enable-local-chat: true radius: 100 allow-links: true # === FORMATS SYSTEM === # Important! If the vip format is lower than the default format, the default chat formatting will be used. # Therefore, write the groups in descending order! For example: # Alternatively, set the default permission to false in your permission plugin. formats: admin: permission: quillchat.format.admin global: "[ADMIN] %luckperms_prefix%{player} » {message}" local: "[ADMIN] %luckperms_prefix%{player} » {message}" vip: permission: quillchat.format.vip global: "[VIP] %luckperms_prefix%{player} » {message}" local: "[VIP] %luckperms_prefix%{player} » {message}" default: permission: quillchat.format.default global: "● %luckperms_prefix%{player} » {message}" local: "%luckperms_prefix%{player} » {message}" # Custom messages messages: command-usage: "Usage: /chat reload" no-permission: "You don't have permission to execute this command!" reload-success: "The configuration has been successfully reloaded!" no-link-permission: "You don't have the right to send links to the chat!" ``` You can edit colors, formats, and messages using MiniMessage (e.g., ``, ``, or gradients). ## Dependencies - **Required**: Paper 26.1.1 - **Optional**: - PlaceholderAPI (for placeholders, e.g., from LuckPerms). - LuckPerms (recommended for prefixes and suffixes). ## Compatibility - Tested on Paper 26.1.1 - Works with other chat plugins, but it's recommended to disable Minecraft's built-in chat to avoid conflicts. - No conflicts with MiniMessage or Adventure API.
