Chat Manager

# ChatManager A lightweight, modern, and highly efficient chat moderation plugin. Take complete control over your server's communication channel, stop spammers instantly, and keep your community safe. This plugin uses Paper's native **Adventure API**, ensuring smooth, asynchronous, thread-safe chat manipulation and full support for modern text formatting. --- ## Features * **Clear Chat:** Instantly wipe the global chat history to hide malicious links, severe spam, or rule-breaking content. * **Mute/Resume Global Chat:** Freeze the entire chat instantly during important announcements or server emergencies. * **Permanent File-Backed Chat Bans:** Permanently chat-ban individual players. Mutes persist cleanly through server reboots and reloads via a local file (`config.yml`). --- ## Commands & Permissions By default, all staff have access to the commands. | Command | Description | Default Permission | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | `/chat clear` | Wipes active chat. | `chatmanager.staff` | | `/chat stop` | Halts global chat for non-staff. | `chatmanager.staff` | | `/chat resume` | Unfreezes global chat. | `chatmanager.staff` | | `/chatban <player>` | Bans a player from using chat. | `chatmanager.staff` | | `/unchatban <player>` | Restores chat access for a player. | `chatmanager.staff` | | `/chatbanlist` | Lists all currently chat-banned UUIDs/Names. | `chatmanager.staff` | ### Bypass Node * **`chatmanager.bypass`** Give this permission to senior staff, administrators, or automated system accounts. Players with this permission node can still send messages even when global chat has been locked with `/chat stop`. --- ## Installation 1. Download the plugin `.jar` file. 2. Drop it directly into your server's `/plugins/` folder. 3. Restart or start your server. 4. Configure permissions
