Absolutely perfect for managing chat. We have been using it for years, and I can't put into words how impressive it is. A must have for any server!

Thank you very much!
Old ChatControlPro was pretty better than this.
+ This reqiures dependencies in order to run on 1.8.8 and this is not any better than Old ChatControlPro.

We require no dependencies, I just had a test run on Spigot (same for Paper for 1.8.8).

Actually, the old ChatControl Pro required the Vault dependency, so your statement is untrue.

Works really well! Also I got great help when running into some problems.
They don't offer good support on their discord, support take too many things for granted and refer to documentation that is confusing, I followed every step specified in the documentation but it didn't work in proxy mode

I apologizes for that; I'm a single developer and I simply don't always have time to check Discord - as mentioned on the rules and welcome channels. But if you'd open a GitHub issue I will get a notification and all of the issues are answered in (typically) 0-4 days. Just let me know how to reproduce and what issue specifically you're having and I am happy to have a look!

This is a top-tier plugin. I recommend it whenever a conversation about chat formatting plugins come up. With cross-network features, multi-proxy, mail, PMs, advanced formatting and timed announcements, this plugin has it all. Surprisingly, it performs quite well too, not taking up too much of the server thread justifying its use on production servers.
If you want a quick solution to chat formatting, you can leave a lot of things default and just go forward with it. However for the committed and advanced users who want to build a unique server/network, you can dive into the configuration of this plugin for many hours to take advantage of its advanced features. Buy the plugin and get creative!
Also writing this review to tell Kangarko that I am anxiously and excitedly waiting for ChatControl 11!
Great plugin for everything you'll ever need with chat stuff, and I really recommend the death messages pack, its very funny and creates a lot of laughter with players.

Thanks for your review!
Plugin is good and everything works fine + a lot of nice features like real time message deleting ingame/discord

But its hard to find on `THIS PLATFORM` even if I have bought it as its removed from main plugin page

Thanks for your feedback!
An Absolute tank for a chat plugin! It is both Aesthetic and feature packed.
There are so many features and the Wiki does an excellent job of covering it all under many scenarios.
I've always been annoyed by chat plugins not having an default good look,
but this one takes the cake on so many levels. I'm currently running it on my Velocity/Paper Network
and love how many plugins i can replace with just this!

Warning to buyers: Learning curve is huge (but simple). It is ESSENTIAL to read through AND follow the instructions
within the /chc tour in order to get the plugin running. I recommend taking a hard scan at the wiki due to
the shear usefulness of this plugin.

Thank you! Happy to hear what parts of the learning curve were the most difficult so we can make the features more simple! Just shoot an email or open a ticket on github with your feedback and I'll be happy to hear!
4/5 because god the constant /chc tour is so annoying

Hey, I am so sorry. It typically only appears first time you install the plugin to help beginners use it. After it's completed, a key is put to data.db to prevent it from appearing again.

If you are installing ChatControl over network, just copy this data.db on your other servers to skip the tour.

If the tour is appearing again after it's done then it's a bug, please open a ticket on github and I have a look at earliest convenience.

The most customizable chat plugin I've ever seen

Happy you've liked it :)
WOW! I have been running a Minecraft server for over 10 years and have never seen a plugin this polished. The author is incredibly active supporting and updating it. The config allows you to customize the plugin beyond your wildest dreams. This truly is an all-in-one option for your chat, and there are no other plugins that even come CLOSE to this one!

Thank you for such a kind review and I am happy you enjoy ChatControl :)
I'll give you 5 stars since I've always preferred this chat plugin / legacy versions on every server I've ever played. Naturally I had to buy it for myself when I finally decided to make one.

But could you please type out instead of making screenshots on the wiki lol, makes it easier when copying the examples. Not a huge deal if you don't.

Either way, keep up the good work :D

so excellent!!!!!!!!! It is to do better and better

Maybe no multilingual is the only weakness, but I will translate it by myself.

By the way, I have been feeling sad that it's inactive on spigotmc until I see the informed email. Thank you!

Thank you very much :) Glad you found it!
The best chat managing plugin so far, at the time I wrote this. Other plugins are just either outdated, or don't have as many features as this! It can even replace some plugins.

By far the best chat plugin available for Minecraft. I've been using ChatControl for several years and have never found anything as flexible and customisable with such a rich set of features. The support has also always been exceptional!

Overall, this plugin has some interesting potential but also comes with certain limitations, primarily due to its usability challenges. The latest version of the resource appears to be stable and functional, which is a positive sign. However, there are areas where it could improve.

In terms of functionality, the plugin effectively delivers on its promises. I haven't encountered significant performance issues or conflicts with other plugins. Nevertheless, there are some features I would like to see improved in future updates.

Support for this plugin is an aspect that could use enhancement. While I understand that reviews should not be used to ask support-related questions, and doing so might result in actions from the creator, it would be beneficial if the developer provided better documentation or a more efficient support system.

In summary, this plugin is solid but has room for improvement. If the developer continues to work on it and addresses some of the current issues and limitations, it could easily deserve a higher rating in the future. The limitations mentioned are related to the wiki; improving the wiki would be beneficial.

Thanks! I see that you used ChatGTP to generate the review. If you have any specific points please send us a message over at Discord, GitHub or email. I respectfully disagree with reviews being used to ask for support.
