Better Local Chat
1.0.2Proximity-based chat for Minecraft servers. Chat locally by default, use ! to go global. Fully configurable!
How it works
By default, chat messages are only visible to players within a 50 block radius.
Want to reach everyone on the server? Simply prefix your message with ! to send it globally.
Perfect for roleplay servers, survival SMP, or just keeping conversations between nearby players.
Features
