## Overview

Socially is a modern Minecraft plugin designed to improve player communication and interaction. It adds global and local chat, player mentions, private messages, chat bubbles above players’ heads, and simple interaction mechanics.

The plugin is modular, highly configurable, and suitable for both small SMP servers and large communities.

Socially provides an advanced and flexible chat system:

• Global chat for server-wide communication
• Local chat with a configurable radius (N blocks)
• Player mentions
• Typing a player’s nickname in chat highlights it and plays a sound for the mentioned player
• Private messages

The recipient hears a sound when a message is received - Simple bad word filter Fully configurable and optional

Chat bubbles display messages above players’ heads:

• Appear when a player sends any chat message
• Implemented using TextDisplay, allowing deep customization
• Not visible through blocks (line-of-sight based)
• Fully configurable appearance and behavior

This feature improves immersion and makes nearby conversations easier to follow.

Handshakes are a simple interaction feature:

- Player A right-clicks player B -> Player A sees player B’s nickname in the ActionBar

This is especially useful on SMP servers where player nicknames are hidden or difficult to recognize.
