🔌 About EssentialsX Chat

EssentialsX Chat is the chat formatting module for the EssentialsX suite. It provides configurable chat formats, group prefixes/suffixes and color support and is designed to be installed alongside the main EssentialsX module on Bukkit/Spigot/Paper servers.

🎯 Purpose

Provide server operators a centralized, configurable chat formatter that applies different formats per group, injects prefixes/suffixes from a permissions provider, and supports color and basic message formatting without requiring a separate full chat plugin.

⚙️ Features

  • Configurable chat formats with placeholders and color codes.
  • Support for prefixes and suffixes provided via a permissions/chat bridge.
  • Different chat formats per permission group.
  • Integration points for permissions/chat providers (Vault + a permissions plugin) to read group data.
  • Distributed as a module of EssentialsX so it pairs with the main EssentialsX plugin.

🧩 Who It Is For

  • Server owners and administrators who use EssentialsX and want in-plugin chat formatting.
  • Survival / SMP and small-to-medium public servers that use centralized group prefixes and colorized chat.

🏗️ Example Use Cases

  • Show player group prefixes and suffixes from a permissions plugin in global chat.
  • Apply separate chat formats for staff, VIPs, and default players.
  • Use color codes and simple placeholders to control how player messages appear.

⚙️ Installation

📥 Setup

  • Download the EssentialsX Chat module JAR that matches your EssentialsX core version.
  • Place the module JAR (and the EssentialsX core JAR) into your server plugins/ directory.
  • Start or restart the server and confirm the plugin loads in console logs.

📦 Dependencies

  • EssentialsX (core module) — required.
  • Vault — required for pulling prefixes/suffixes from a permissions/chat provider.
  • A permissions plugin that provides groups (commonly LuckPerms) — recommended for group-based formats.

🧠 Technical Notes

  • EssentialsX Chat is distributed as an EssentialsX module and requires the matching EssentialsX core module version.
  • The module integrates with Vault to obtain prefix/suffix/group data from a permissions provider; LuckPerms is commonly used alongside it.
  • Supported server software: Bukkit-compatible platforms (Spigot, Paper) as provided by the EssentialsX project.
  • Licensed under GPL-3.0.

🤝 When This Plugin Is Useful

If you already use EssentialsX and need consistent, group-aware chat formatting (prefixes, suffixes, colors) with minimal additional plugins, EssentialsX Chat provides those features as an official EssentialsX module while relying on Vault and a permissions plugin for group data.

Servers with EssentialsChat

The EssentialsChat plugin page shows which servers monitoring found this plugin on, and which platforms and versions it appears with.

Plugins may add commands, economy, protection, permissions, mini-games, integrations, or other mechanics. The actual role of EssentialsChat depends on each server's configuration.

Data is generated automatically from technical server responses. If a server hides its plugin list, it may not appear in this section even if it uses EssentialsChat.
