Expanded Color & Format Handling* * Added multi-format HEX color support (&#RRGGBB,<#RRGGBB>, and#RRGGBB). * Full legacy formatting support (&0–&f,&l,&o,&n,&m,&k,&r). * Granular permissions for individual text styles (chatcolor.format.bold,chatcolor.format.italic,chatcolor.format.underline,chatcolor.format.strike,chatcolor.format.magic,chatcolor.color.hex,chatcolor.color.legacy). Complete Channel System Implementation* * Dynamic channel loading fromchannels.ymlsupportingGLOBAL,WORLD, and customCHANNELscopes. * Per-channel speak (permission-speak) and view (permission-view) permissions. * Added/channel(alias/ch) command: */ch: Lists available channels and shows your active channel. */ch <channel>: Switches your active channel. */ch <channel> <message>: Sends a quick message to a channel without changing your active channel. * Integrated real-time TabCompleter respecting player permissions. Minecraft 26.2 & Java 25 Toolchain* * Upgraded build configuration to target Java 25 for native Minecraft 26.2 compatibility while maintaining backward compatibility. ---Bug Fixes
Fixed Server Event Colors (Join, Quit & Death Messages)*: Fixed a bug where join, quit, and death messages lost their configured colors and turned plain white if the involved player lacked chat color permissions. System messages now render all colors, HEX, and gradients unconditionally. Fixed Format Template Isolation*: Server format structures (such as LuckPerms prefixes, brackets, and world tags) now keep their colors intact regardless of the sender's individual color permissions. Player permissions now only filter the player's own message content. Fixed Anti-Spam Feedback Messages*: The anti-spam engine now properly differentiates between rate-limit violations (spam.cooldown) and repeated text violations (spam.repeat). Code Cleanup*: Removed legacy boilerplate classes to optimize file size and startup performance. ---Compatibility
Server Software:* Paper / Purpur / Spigot (1.21.x – 26.2) Java Version:* Java 25 (or Java 21+) Optional Integrations:* LuckPerms, PlaceholderAPI1.2.1ChatEngine 1.2.1Jan 22, 2026 ChatEngine v1.2.1 Instant LuckPerms updates Removed internal prefix/suffix caching. Player rank data (prefix, suffix, group) now updates instantly when changed in LuckPerms. No /chatengine reload required anymore. Reworked chat color system (ChatColor-style) New chat.colors section in config.yml. Permission-based color system (use-permissions). Separate support for: Legacy colors (chatcolor.color.legacy) HEX colors (chatcolor.color.hex) formats section for text styles (bold, italic, underline, etc.). More predictable and compatible behavior for servers already using ChatColor-like setups. Magic code (&k) control allow-magic: false by default to prevent abuse and reduce chat lag. Optional magic format support with a dedicated permission (chatcolor.format.magic). Death messages compatibility Added enabled: true/false option in death-messages.yml. When disabled, ChatEngine will not modify death messages, ensuring full compatibility with other death message plugins. Minor improvements Unified color handling across chat, join/quit messages, and death messages. Internal cleanup and consistency improvements.1.2.0ChatEngine 1.2.0Dec 21, 2025 Chat Moderation Update This release introduces a powerful and configurable chat moderation system, giving server administrators greater control and automation over player communication. New Features Configurable Chat Filter System (filters.yml) A new filtering system has been added, fully configurable through filters.yml: Blocked words filtering using a customizable blacklist. Optional link blocking (http / https / www). Ignored prefix list (commands such as / are ignored by default). Automatic staff notifications for blocked messages (Requires permission: chatengine.staff.notify). Automatic Moderation System ChatEngine now supports automatic moderation actions: Infraction counter per player. Automatic mute after a configurable number of infractions. Configurable mute duration (in seconds). Moderation bypass permission for staff or special roles: chatengine.bypass.moderation. New Player Feedback Messages New configurable messages have been added to messages.yml to provide clear feedback to players: filter.blocked-word filter.blocked-link filter.blocked-generic filter.auto-muted Improved Reload System The /chatengine reload command now: Reloads the filter configuration. Clears moderation and anti-spam caches to ensure changes apply immediately. Summary This update significantly enhances chat safety, automation, and administrative control, making ChatEngine more suitable for medium and large servers while maintaining performance and simplicity.1.0.1ChatEngine 1.0.1Dec 21, 2025 1. LuckPerms prefixes/suffixes always colored ◦ The prefix and suffix provided by LuckPerms are now always colored using their & color codes, regardless of the player’s color permissions. ◦ Color permissions (chatengine.color.classic, chatengine.color.hex, chatengine.color.*) only affect what the player types in their message, not the rank prefix/suffix. 2. New global chat mute system ◦ An internal flag chatMuted has been added to the ChatManager. ◦ When the chat is muted:
Players without the chatengine.admin.mutechat permission cannot send messages.
They receive the message from messages.yml:
chat.muted-cannot-talk: "&cThe chat is currently muted."
3. New admin commands in /chatengine
◦ /chatengine clearchat
Permission: chatengine.admin.clearchat
Clears the chat for everyone (sends multiple blank lines) and then broadcasts the message:
chat.cleared: "&aThe chat has been cleared by {player}."
◦ /chatengine mutechat (alias /chatengine mute)
Permission: chatengine.admin.mutechat
Enables the global chat mute.
Broadcast message:
chat.muted: "&cThe chat has been muted by {player}."
◦ /chatengine unmutechat (alias /chatengine unmute)
Also requires chatengine.admin.mutechat
Disables the global chat mute.
Broadcast message:
chat.unmuted: "&aThe chat has been unmuted by {player}."1.0.0ChatEngine 1.0.0Dec 21, 2025
