Configuration

The configuration is located in <game or server directory>/config/simplechat.json.

| Name | Description | Type |
|-|-|-|
| enable_chat_mod | Enables (true) or disables (false) chat handling by the mod. | boolean |
| enable_global_chat | Enables (true) or disables (false) the global chat. | boolean |
| enable_chat_colors | Enables (true) or disables (false) the use of color codes in the chat. | boolean |
| local_chat_format | Defines the appearance of the local chat. | String |
| global_chat_format | Defines the appearance of the global chat. | String |
| chat_range | Specifies the distance after which local chat messages will not be visible (if global chat is enabled). | int |

{
  "enable_chat_mod": true,
  "enable_global_chat": false,
  "enable_chat_colors": false,
  "local_chat_format": "%player% > &7%message%",
  "global_chat_format": "&8[&bG&8] &r%player% > &e%message%",
  "chat_range": 100
}

You can use the placeholder %player% to specify the player’s nickname and the placeholder %message% to specify their message in the chat.

You can reload the configuration without restarting the server or the game using the /simplechat command (requires permission level 1 or more).

API

If you are a developer, you can use an event called when a player writes something to the chat.

Look me.vetustus.server.simplechat.api.event.PlayerChatCallback.
To control the behavior, use the ChatMessage subclass, which can be used to cancel sending a message or change it.

Example:

/**
 * Prohibits players from writing messages by canceling an event.
 */
PlayerChatCallback.EVENT.register((player, message) -> {
  PlayerChatCallback.ChatMessage chatMessage = new PlayerChatCallback.ChatMessage(player, message);
  chatMessage.setCancelled(true);
  return chatMessage;
});
