What MentionPlus Does
Most chat mention plugins do one thing: let players tag each other. MentionPlus goes further. It gives you player pings, area alerts for nearby players, global broadcasts to everyone online, and role-based group mentions powered by LuckPerms. Every ping type has its own sound, cooldown, permission, and display format. All configurable. All live-reloadable.
The built-in GUI editor lets admins tweak every setting without opening a single text file. Switch languages, adjust cooldowns, add or remove groups, manage disabled worlds, all from an in-game menu. No restarts. No file editing. Just point and click.

Four Ping Types
Every ping type is independently configurable with its own: Sound ◆ Cooldown ◆ Permission ◆ Display Format
Four Ping Types
Every ping type is independently configurable with its own: Sound ◆ Cooldown ◆ Permission ◆ Display Format
◆ Player Pings
- Type a player name in chat to ping them with a sound and visual alert
- Players can customize their own ping display with a simple command
- Toggle personal ping notifications on or off anytime
- Respects vanish, AFK status, and ignore lists via EssentialsX
◆ Area Pings
- Ping every player within a configurable radius around you
- Default keyword: @nearby (fully configurable)
- Keep the radius low for performance on large servers
◆ Global Pings
- Broadcast a ping to every player currently online
- Default keyword: Everyone (fully configurable)
- Longer default cooldown to prevent spam
◆ Role Pings
- Ping a specific LuckPerms group using @groupname
- Each group gets its own sound, display, and cooldown
- Disable specific groups from being mentioned at all
- Assign group colors that tint the mention in chat

Integrations
Integrations
| Plugin | What It Provides | Required? |
| LuckPerms | Group detection for role pings, weight-based group sorting | For role pings |
| EssentialsX | Vanish detection, AFK status, ignore list, vanish provider | No |
| Staff++ | Alternative vanish provider for staff-mode servers | No |
All integrations are soft dependencies. MentionPlus works perfectly fine without any of them, gracefully disabling the features that need them.
