# RiotChat RiotChat is a lightweight, moderation-focused chat plugin for Spigot/Paper. It provides formatted chat, mentions, a persistent ignore system, clear/announce utilities, tablist headers/footers, and a persistent mute system with database backing and tab-completion for moderation commands. This README documents features, installation (binary/JAR), configuration, database, commands, permissions and how to report issues. --- ## Features - Formatted chat with prefix/suffix support (LuckPerms integration) - Mentions highlighting and processing - Private messages (`/msg`, `/reply`) - Persistent ignore system (database-backed) - Clear chat with optional announcement and sound - Server-wide announcements using MiniMessage templates - Tablist header/footer support - Persistent mute system with DB storage: - `/mute [duration] [reason]` - `/unmute ` - Mutes stored in `riotchat_mutes` table - Tab-completion for `/mute` (player names + durations) - Config-driven behavior and H2/MySQL support --- ## Installation (JAR / release repository) This repository is intended to host the plugin releases (JAR files) and does not necessarily include the source code. To install the plugin on your server: 1. Download the release JAR from this repository's Releases page or Modrinth, SpigotMC, Hangar. 2. Copy the JAR file into your Paper/Spigot server's `plugins/` directory. 3. Start or restart the server. The plugin will generate default configuration files on first run. If a compiled JAR is not present in the repository, check the Releases tab or the project's website for binary downloads. --- ## Configuration Main config file (generated on first run): `config.yml` in the plugin folder. Important config keys (examples): - `enable-chat` (boolean) — Global switch for chat features. - `chat.separator` (string) — Separator between name and message. - `chat.name-hover` / `chat.name-click` (boolean) — Enable hover/click behaviour on player names. - `clearchat.lines` (int) — Number of blank lines to send for `/clearchat`. - `announce.format` (MiniMessage block) — Template used for broadcast announcements. - `database.type` — `H2` or `MYSQL`. - `database.h2.file` — H2 file path (without `.mv.db`). - `database.mysql.*` — MySQL connection settings. Example excerpt: ```yaml database: type: "H2" h2: file: "plugins/RiotChat/riotchat" clearchat: lines: 120 message: | ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ CHAT CLEARED The chat has been cleared by %player_name% ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ``` --- ## Commands - `/msg ` — Send a private message. - `/reply ` — Reply to last private message. - `/announce ` — Broadcast an announcement (permission: `riotchat.announce`). - `/clearchat [silent]` — Clears chat; `silent` suppresses broadcast (permission: `riotchat.clearchat`). - `/togglechat` — Toggle global chat state (permission: `riotchat.chat.toggle`). - `/ignore ` — Toggle ignoring a player (permission: `riotchat.ignore`). - `/ignorelist` — Show the players you currently ignore. - `/mute [duration] [reason]` — Mute a player (permission: `riotchat.mute`). - Duration examples: `10s`, `5m`, `1h`, `1d`, or `perm` for permanent. - The plugin provides a `MuteTabCompleter` that suggests players and common durations. - `/unmute ` — Unmute a player (permission: `riotchat.unmute`). --- ## Permissions Suggested default permission nodes (adjust in your permissions system): - `riotchat.color` — Use color codes in chat (default: op) - `riotchat.reload` — Reload configuration (default: op) - `riotchat.announce` — Use `/announce` (default: op) - `riotchat.ignore` — Use ignore commands (default: op) - `riotchat.clearchat` — Clear chat (default: op) - `riotchat.clearchat.bypass` — Bypass clear chat effects (default: false) - `riotchat.chat.bypass` — Bypass global chat-disabled state (default: op) - `riotchat.chat.toggle` — Toggle chat on/off (default: op) - `riotchat.mute` — Mute players (default: op) - `riotchat.unmute` — Unmute players (default: op) - `riotchat.mute.bypass` — Bypass mutes (for staff) (default: op) --- ## Troubleshooting - DB connection errors: verify your `config.yml` database settings and reachability.
