Upgraded from ChatControl Pro to this I was initially excited for the upgrades, but the poor documentation of the wiki made me spend >2 days trying to figure out how to get it to work at its bare minimum, turns out you need to enable channels (why would it be disabled by default if nothing works as a result?) and force people to auto join channels. Plus the fact that you need MySQL for BungeeCord now makes BungeeCord support not usable for me, as my set-up only uses sqlite and everything needs to be in a portable, self-contained system. tldr; it broke many things for not much benefit for a user like me, and in fact is a step back in certain areas.
Yes I am aware of the BungeeCord requirement for MySQL but ChatControl Pro does not support network players really, there is no tab completion etc., its Bungee is very basic and BungeeCord plugin messaging is limited hence we opted in to use MySQL.
Gonna be honest with this plugin and say that 70% of it is bloat. The channels system is very over complicated for something simple as chat formatting. The filter is nice and it has alot of words but because it uses regex you can bypass essentially everything by just putting an underscore infront of the word, and the plugin is very poorly optimized. (https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1015995850545180763/1120688242518392924/brave_4PMF2NkyEb.gif) In the gif you can not only see how massive my timings report is but also the fact that it uses 5% of my servers resources. Yes, I will admit that this plugin was nice while I used it but I switched to a core plugin (not naming it) that already has most of those features built in. This plugin is genuinely not worth the money unless you really need a feature from it that you cant find elsewhere.
I agree, the plugin can seem bloated when you don't configure it to your needs. The standard setup comes with 50-100 examples which you can delete. These are just examples from big networks on how people used the plugin.
1. Channels can be made very simple, you don't have to use any other file, everything can be done in the main settings.yml using a few lines of code, see: https://i.imgur.com/5rsHtC1.png
The channel system using external files is again an advanced feature used by many customers because it supports gradients, hover/click events, javascript etc. No need to use it.
2. The regular expression filters can - and should - be customized - to prevent bypasses which you see fit. We have an entire article about how to add more blocks here: https://github.com/kangarko/chatcontrol-red/wiki/Rules
3. Sorry to see the lag, please open a ticket at GitHub including your /chc debug log and I'll assist you. Looks like another plugin is sending component-based messages and we caught them in the packet pipeline. Fastest fix is to disable protocollib integration at our side entirely, proper fix is to detect what these messages are with the data you provide to customer service.
Thats by far the most inclusive and extensive Chatplugin you can get. I used a wide range of different Chatplugins but not a single one can compare to ChatControlRed.
The only limitation is your imagination. Anything i thought about chat in the past i had simply done with this amazing piece of software.
Its stable, advanced and incredible fast! The plugin is that incredible Advanced and has not a single performance issue. I cant believe how nice it is.
Thx a lot and keep up the great work =). Cant build a Server without this anymore its a complete basic plugin on every server i will ever made.
The most superior and advanced chat management system (public & private), no other system I have seen come even close to ChatControl. Especially now with the latest update (ChatControl Red) with OfflinePlayer & UUID support, and the ability to send player messages & warnings through books, titlebar, actionbar & bossbar, the features are endless & more are bound to come! The author is known for producing high-quality work & has contributed a number of decent yet free plugins in the past at SpigotMC. Keep up the excellent work!
Absolute beast of a plugin, does whatever i need and even more than that. Pair it with some other plugins and ItemsAdder and you got yourself an amazing looking chat. Sometimes it`s quite a hussle to understand some of plugins aspects... But it`s doable and worth it. Also, there`s a trouble i`m having with sound notifications, but that`s just me.
12/10 Most definitely recommend, even though it`s quite expensive by Ukrainian standarts haha. Give it a try :)
I hesitated for days to buy this plugin. And today decided to buy it. It's hard to understand. It took hours. But now I got it and now it's the best chat plugin I've ever come across. The plugin is highly customizable. That's worth learning it. Thank you very much. Worth for 29 USD
Well I was very critical due to the high price point, but this chat plugin does so much more than just chat. It's absolutely insane all of the features it has. Replaced about 4 plugins I used previously.
If you just want something simple to format messages, this is not for you.
If you want something that can format the chat unlike anything else, built in filters, custom commands, chat channels, discord chat, and much more then this may be for you. There is so much to configure, it's overwhelming at first but going through them 1 at a time following the detailed wiki really shows you what you can do. If you get confused, they are really helpful on the Discord. Honestly it's worth the price.
Add snow particles & terrain snow, spawn snowmen, place gift chests and much more!
