sChatManager

A Bukkit/Spigot/Paper plugin that turns off chat completely and blocks blacklisted commands. No permissions, no bypasses — the block applies to every player equally.

One jar covers every server version from 1.8 to 26.2.

Features

• Disable player chat server-wide with a single config flag.
• Block commands by blacklist, or block all commands at once.
• Fully customizable response messages, including multi-line ones.
• & color codes everywhere, plus &#RRGGBB hex colors on 1.16+.
• No permission nodes and no bypass logic of any kind.

Installation

1. Drop sChatManager-1.0.0.jar into the server's plugins folder.
2. Start the server once to generate plugins/sChatManager/config.yml.
3. Edit the config and run /schatmanager reload.

Configuration

chat:
  enabled: false
  message: "&cЧат на сервере отключён."

commands:
  block-all: false
  blacklist:
    - "msg"
    - "tell"
    - "w"
    - "r"
    - "me"
    - "say"
  message: "&cЭта команда заблокирована."

reload-message: "&aКонфигурация sChatManager перезагружена."

Messages

Any message may be a single string or a list of strings, in which case each entry is sent as its own line:

chat:
  message:
    - "&cЧат отключён."
    - "&7Обратитесь к администрации."

Setting a message to "" sends nothing at all — the action is still blocked, just silently.

Blacklist matching

Entries are matched against the first word of the command, case-insensitively. A leading / and a namespace prefix are stripped from both sides, so tell, /tell and minecraft:tell are all the same entry.

An entry containing spaces is matched as a prefix, which lets you block a single subcommand:

blacklist:
  - "gamemode creative"

This blocks /gamemode creative Steve but leaves /gamemode survival working.

Commands

Command	Description
/schatmanager reload	Reloads config.yml. Aliases: /scm, /schat.

The reload command is available to the console and to operators. This is an isOp() check, not a permission node — the plugin registers no permissions at all.

/schatmanager is the only command exempt from block-all, otherwise there would be no way to turn blocking off from in-game.
