}

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

  • %ftbteam% FTB Team integration - display your party in chat.
  • %lp_group% LuckPerms - display player group.
  • %lp_prefix% LuckPerms - display player prefix.
  • %lp_suffix% LuckPerms - display player suffix.

You can reload the configuration without restarting the server or the game using the /simplechat command (requires 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;
});
