LilsInfo 💬

A lightweight Paper plugin that adds useful, interactive information sharing directly to Minecraft chat.

LilsInfo does not replace your chat formatting system. It simply expands supported tags inside normal messages, allowing players to share useful information without commands, screenshots, or manually typing everything out.

✨ Chat Tags

[item] / [hand]

Share the item currently held in your main hand.

The displayed item includes its real Minecraft hover tooltip, including custom names, lore, enchantments, durability information, and other supported item data.

[offhand]

Share the item currently held in your offhand with the same interactive tooltip support.

[inventory] / [inv]

Share a clickable snapshot of your complete inventory.

Other players can click the chat component to view a read-only showcase containing:

• Main inventory
• Hotbar
• Armour
• Offhand

The showcase represents the inventory exactly as it existed when the message was sent.

Changing your real inventory afterwards does not modify an existing snapshot.

[coords] / [pos]

Share your current block coordinates.

Coordinates are clickable and can be copied directly to the clipboard.

Hover information can optionally include:

• Current world
• Current biome

Coordinate sharing can also be disabled completely in configured worlds.

[biome]

Share your current biome using a readable name.

Hovering also displays its full namespaced biome key.

[ping]

Share your current connection latency in milliseconds.

⚡ Lightweight by Design

LilsInfo is designed to stay out of the way of normal chat.

Messages without recognised information tags are immediately ignored.

Only the player information required by the tags actually present in a message is captured.

LilsInfo uses:

• No database
• No repeating tasks
• No per-tick processing
• No persistent inventory tracking
• No replacement chat formatter

It is designed to enhance an existing chat setup rather than become one.

📦 Requirements

• Paper 26.2+
• Java 25
