xChat

xChat v1.0.4 | Changelog

The biggest xChat update to date! We have rewritten a large part of the plugin's core to offer superior performance, native support for the latest Paper technologies, and new Premium features that will take your server's chat to the next level.

New Features

Native Support for MiniMessage & Hex Colors: We've ditched the old legacy color system, and xChat is now 100% powered by the Adventure API*. Enjoy beautiful gradients, Hex colors (&#RRGGBB), and <color> tags with zero bugs or visual glitches. Premium Mentions System (`@player`):* Players can now mention each other in the chat! When mentioned, the target player will hear a customizable sound and see an on-screen Title/Subtitle. Everything is fully configurable in the new extra.yml file. Native ChatColor GUI System:* You no longer need external menu plugins! We've built an ultra-fast, secure, and native internal menu engine. * /chatcolor : Opens a stunning GUI for VIP players to select their chat color. ` /chatcolorshop `: A built-in GUI shop hooked to Vault Economy* to buy chat colors with in-game currency. Smart Auto-Completion (Tab Completer):* A global TabCompleter system has been implemented. Pressing the TAB key will now smoothly auto-complete commands, player names, colors, and specific arguments.

Improvements & Optimizations

Improved Private Messages:* The /msg and /reply commands have been entirely rewritten. They now safely parse MiniMessage formatting, preventing any kind of code injection if the player lacks the proper permissions. New PlaceholderAPI Expansion:* An internal expansion is now registered automatically. You can use the %xchat_currentcolor% placeholder in other plugins to check which color a player currently has equipped. Optimized Storage:* Chat colors chosen by players are now safely stored separately in a new local users.yml database. Magic Retro-compatible Translator:* Do you have old ranks with codes like &c or &#FF0000? No problem! xChat now includes a real-time translator that automatically converts your old legacy formats to the new Paper standard.

Configuration Changes (Important!)

To enjoy all these new features, new files will be generated upon starting the plugin: * ➕ extra.yml : To configure mention sounds, volumes, and titles. * ➕ users.yml : Local database file to store user chat colors. * 🔄 config.yml & messages.yml : Both files have received a complete redesign, featuring a much cleaner, aesthetic, and modern visual style (xPlugins Premium design).

xChat v1.0.2

The modern, lightweight, and aesthetic chat solution for your server. By xPlugins x WillfryDev ---

What's New in v1.0.2? (The "Sender Style" Update)

This update focuses on visual polish and critical stability fixes. We have adopted the "Sender Style" aesthetic: clean, modern, and easy to read.

Visual Changes

New Default Configs:* config.yml and messages.yml now come with a professional Hex Color palette (Mint Green, Soft Red, Gold) and modern symbols (▸, ✔, ✖). Better Hex Support:* Improved color parsing engine for newer Minecraft versions.

Bug Fixes

✅ Private Messages Fixed:* Solved a critical bug where %sender_name% and %receiver_name% variables were not being replaced in /msg and /r. ✅ Welcome Message Delay:* Added a smart tick-delay to the Join Event. Players with fast PCs will now correctly see the welcome message instead of it appearing before the world loads. ✅ Config Keys:* Fixed internal inconsistencies in the hover-format configuration. ---

Main Features

🎨 Modern Formatting: Full support for Vault, PlaceholderAPI, and Hex Colors* (&#RRGGBB). 🛡️ Advanced Filters:* Built-in protection against Spam, Caps, Ads (IPs/URLs), and Swearing. ✉️ Private Messaging: Complete system with `/msg`, `/reply`, and Social Spy* for staff. ⛔ Ignore System:* Let your players block annoying users easily. 🖱️ Hover Stats:* Show player statistics (Money, Ping, Playtime) when hovering over a name in chat. 👋 Welcome Manager:* Send custom messages when players join. ---

Configuration Preview

xChat is 100% configurable. Here is a preview of the new Sender Style included in v1.0.2:

# Example from config.yml
chat-format: "%vault_rank% %player_name%&7 ▸ &f%message%"

# Example from messages.yml
prefix: "&b&lxChat &8▸ &f"

The wait is over! xChat 2.0 is much more than a simple update; it's a complete rewrite designed to give you absolute control over chat and interaction on your server. We've listened to the community and added an arsenal of new features that will transform xChat from a simple chat formatter into an indispensable management suite. New Features! We have massively expanded the plugin's capabilities with brand-new modules: Advanced Filter System: Anti-Repetition: Prevents players from sending the same message over and over. Anti-Space Spam: Blocks messages with excessive spaces (e.g., "h e l l o"). Improved Anti-Advertising and Anti-Swearing: More efficient systems to keep your chat clean, now also in private messages! Chat Color Control: Anti-Color Codes: Prevents users without permission (xchat.colors) from using & or # in the chat. Colorful Chat: Allow your VIPs and Staff to use hex color codes (&#RRGGBB) and color codes (&a) if they have the permission! New Interaction Commands: /live <link>: Allows your streamers to announce that they are live. /subtitle <player> <message>: Sends a message to a player's action bar. /countdown <seconds>: Starts a global countdown with titles and sounds. /ping, /discord, /website: Essential utility commands that every server needs. User Experience Improvements: Welcome Messages: Greet your players with a fully customizable message when they join. Unknown Command Handler: Replaces Minecraft's ugly "Unknown command" message with your own custom message. Attention! Major Configuration Changes With this major update, we have separated the configuration to make it easier to manage: New messages.yml!: All plugin messages, from errors to PM formats, have been moved to messages.yml. You can now easily translate or customize every word of the plugin! To update correctly from v1.0.1, it is MANDATORY that you delete your old configuration folder (plugins/xChat/). Back up your formats if you wish, and let the plugin generate the new files upon restarting. Thank you for trusting xChat to power up your server. Enjoy the new features!
