Simple Chat Control

Description

SimpleChatControl is a versatile chat management plugin designed mainly for Spigot, but also works with Paper, and Purpur servers. It automatically detects and blocks repetitive messages (3 identical messages within 10 seconds), warning players to slow down and enforcing a 30-second cooldown. Server staff can mute players temporarily or permanently with /mute <player> [time]and /unmute <player>, while regular players gain access to privacy tools like /ignore <player> (hide messages from specific users) and /silence (toggle all chat visibility). The plugin also introduces secure private messaging with /tell and /reply commands, formatted for clarity. Messages are editable in config.yml.

There are no external dependencies. Just drop the plugin into your plugins folder, start your server, and the default config will generate. Java 17 or higher is required.
