OlaChat

The Ultimate Cross-Server Chat & Messaging Solution for Modern Networks

OlaChat is a high-performance, developer-friendly chat management plugin designed from the ground up for modern Paper/Velocity proxy networks. Backed by Redis and MariaDB, it seamlessly synchronizes chat channels, private messages, ignores, and player settings across every server in your network—instantly.

Built entirely on MiniMessage, OlaChat ditches outdated & color codes in favor of a powerful, modern formatting system (though it translates legacy codes for your older players!).

✨ Key Features

• 🌐 True Cross-Server Networking (Redis) Send private messages (/msg), toggle ignores, and chat in cross-server channels across your entire network. A player on Hub-1 can seamlessly DM a player on Survival-3 with zero delay.
• 💾 Database Driven (MariaDB/MySQL) Player settings (PM toggles, mention sound toggles, ignore lists) and full Chat Logs are saved to MariaDB and cached locally.
• 🎨 MiniMessage & PlaceholderAPI Full support for rich text gradients, hex colors, and PAPI placeholders.
• 🖱️ Interactive Chat & Proximity Channels Configure custom hover-text (like showing player pings) and click-commands when clicking a name in chat. Create radius-based local channels for RPG/Survival servers!
• 📢 Rich Auto-Broadcaster Schedule network-wide announcements that can be displayed as Chat messages, Action Bars, or massive Screen Titles!
• 🔔 Player Mentions Players can type @Name to highlight a player's name and play an alert sound.
• ⌨️ Network-Wide Tab Completion When typing /msg, players can press TAB to instantly auto-complete the names of friends who are online on entirely different servers!
• 🕵️ Staff Network Spy Provide your staff with /spy for private messages and /commandspy to monitor commands executed by players across the entire proxy network.
• 🔌 Unrivaled Developer API With over 15+ custom Async events, custom dynamic MiniMessage tags (like <item>), and a cross-server RPC routing system, OlaChat is designed to be the backbone for your custom add-ons.
