MultiChat
A bungeeCord plugin that allows for chat across all connected servers
MultiChat
Transform your BungeeCord network into a unified communication hub!
MultiChat is a professional, feature-rich cross-server chat plugin that seamlessly connects all servers in your network. Players can communicate across servers, see everyone in the tab list, and enjoy a truly unified multiplayer experience—all without requiring any backend plugins!
🌟 Key Features
💬 Cross-Server Chat
Chat messages broadcast across your entire network. Players on Survival can talk to players on Creative, Skyblock, or any other server—seamlessly!
👥 Global Tab List
All players from all servers appear in everyone's tab list. Fully customizable with server prefixes, headers, and footers. This feature alone eliminates the need for TAB or similar plugins on backend servers!
🔇 Smart Join/Leave Messages
Completely customizable join and quit messages that only show when players enter or exit the entire network—not every time they switch servers. Say goodbye to chat spam!
📋 Server List Command (/s list)
Players can view all servers with real-time player counts and names. Configurable to show or hide player names.
💌 Cross-Server Private Messaging
Built-in /msg and /r (reply) commands work across all servers. Find and message anyone on your network instantly!
🎨 Highly Customizable
Every message format, color, and feature can be customized through an intuitive config.yml. Supports full Minecraft color codes and formatting.
🔐 Flexible Permission System
Configure each feature with three permission modes:
"everyone"- No permission required (default)"op"- Operators only"custom.permission"- Specific permission nodes (works with LuckPerms, etc.)
🚫 Command Control
Optionally block commands from reaching backend servers while keeping chat and messaging functional.
🎭 Normal Chat Mode
Hide server prefixes to make your network feel like one unified server. Players won't even know they're switching between backend servers!
