Minecraft plugin ChatManager

🔌 About ChatManager

ChatManager — is a plugin for Minecraft servers that provides configurable chat moderation, lightweight staff tools and message filters. ChatManager targets server administrators who need in-game control of chat behavior without heavy overhead.

🎯 Purpose

ChatManager solves routine chat-moderation tasks on a minecraft server: filtering URLs and repeated messages, notifying staff about flagged messages, and offering simple moderation actions (clearing chat, logs, GUI config). ChatManager is designed to be performant and usable on Paper/Spigot servers.

⚙ Main features

• Toggleable filters (chat text, repetitive messages, URLs).
• Staff moderation tools and notifications for flagged messages.
• Clear chat for online players.
• Configuration via commands and a GUI.
• Lightweight, intended to minimize TPS impact.

🧩 Who it's for

ChatManager is suitable for server owners and admins running Paper or Spigot (Paper 1.21+ recommended). It fits small-to-medium survival, mini‑game and hub servers that need chat filtering and quick in-game moderation tools.

🏗 Usage examples

• Enable URL and spam filters to reduce advertising and repeated messages.
• Staff receive notifications when messages are flagged and can review logs via the GUI.
• Use /cm clearchat to clear chat during events or to remove spam.

⌨️ Commands

Note: the command names and permission nodes above are taken from the official Modrinth/GitHub listing. Exact access levels (Player/Moderator/Admin) are not explicitly documented in the official sources.

🔐 Permissions

The official Modrinth/GitHub pages list the permission nodes but do not state the default permission values (true/op/false). If you rely on a permissions plugin (e.g., LuckPerms) set the nodes as needed for your roles.
