FancyChat ✨ 26.1+ LuckPerms Chat Formatter ✨ MiniMessage/Pla

✨ Modern • Interactive • Lightweight • Elegant • Powerful
FancyChat is a modern Minecraft chat plugin designed to completely upgrade the default server chat experience with clean formatting, advanced customization, and interactive features players instantly notice.

The plugin supports full MiniMessage formatting, allowing you to create colorful, animated, and highly styled chat layouts while still keeping everything lightweight and easy to manage. FancyChat integrates seamlessly with LuckPerms to automatically display player prefixes and suffixes, and also supports PlaceholderAPI for even more dynamic chat formats.

One of the standout features is the built-in {item}/%item%/[item] showcase system. Players can display the item they are currently holding directly inside chat, including hoverable item previews with enchantments, names, lore, and metadata — perfect for survival, RPG, and economy servers.

FancyChat is fully configurable and built for server owners who want complete control over how their chat looks and behaves.

# Supports MiniMessage in configurable strings.
# Component placeholders: <prefix>, <suffix>, <player>, <display_name>, <message>, <item>
# Legacy brace variants like {prefix}, {player}, {message} and {item} also work in config formats.
