ByteChat
ByteChat is a modern and modular chat formatting plugin for PaperMC.
It allows server owners to create elegant, dynamic, and interactive chat layouts using YAML configuration files.
Overview
ByteChat replaces the default chat display with a flexible, component-based layout system that lets you fully control how messages look and behave.
Each chat message is built from elements such as player names, prefixes, separators, and message bodies.
Every element can include gradients, hover tooltips, and click actions — all defined directly through configuration.
If you need help, join the Discord server.

- Hover and click events for every element.
