Minecraft plugin FreedomChat

🔌 About FreedomChat

FreedomChat — це плагін для Minecraft серверів, який дозволяє відключити підпис повідомлень (chat signing) і тим самим завадити сервер‑бічному повідомленню/репорту чату. FreedomChat перезаписує вихідні повідомлення так, щоб вони не були підписаними, роблячи стандартну систему репортів недієвою на сервері.

🎯 Purpose

FreedomChat призначено для адміністраторів, які хочуть уникнути наслідків chat signing / chat reporting на своїх Paper/Spigot (і сумісних) серверах. Плагін вирішує проблему несумісності певних клієнтських модів і систем звітування, які можуть приводити до кіків, спаму в консолі або небажаних повідомлень про підпис. FreedomChat робить це шляхом перезапису вихідних повідомлень, не змінюючи базову архітектуру серверних подій. ()

⚙ Main features

• Disables chat signing server‑side (rewrites outgoing messages). ()
• Makes player messages unreportable on the server (prevents server-side chat reporting effects). ()
• Very lightweight: install by placing the plugin .jar in plugins/. ()

🧩 Who it's for

FreedomChat suits server owners and technical moderators running Paper, Spigot or compatible forks who need to avoid chat signing/reporting issues. It is intended for servers where server‑side control over chat signatures is required to maintain compatibility with certain clients or to stop automated report flows. ()

🏗 Usage examples

• Use FreedomChat to prevent players from reporting each other via Minecraft's chat report system on a Paper server. ()
• Deploy on servers where client mods or proxy setups cause chat‑signature errors or console spam; FreedomChat can mitigate outgoing‑message signing problems without altering client behavior. ()
