ProximityPlus

ProximityPlus is a lightweight, high-performance proximity chat and event filtering plugin that limits message visibility based on distance between players. Instead of global spam, players only receive chat and server events occurring within a configurable radius — creating a more immersive, localized multiplayer experience.

Designed for survival, SMP, roleplay, and immersion-focused servers, ProximityPlus gives full control over what events respect proximity and what remain global.

Features:

Configurable global proximity radius

Independent proximity control for:

Chat Join messages Leave messages Death messages Advancements Broadcasts

Live configuration reload (/proximity reload) Runtime radius adjustment (/proximity radius ) Toggle events without restart (/proximity toggle ) Optional bypass permission for staff (see everything globally) Built-in debug mode for diagnostics and timing Optimized for low overhead and high performance Works with or without PlaceholderAPI

How It Works

When enabled, messages and events are only sent to players within the configured radius of the source player. This prevents global chat spam and naturally encourages localized interaction.

Admins can dynamically control:

Radius size Which events use proximity Who can bypass restrictions All changes can be applied live without restarting the server.

Commands:

/proximity reload — Reload plugin configuration /proximity radius — Change global proximity radius /proximity toggle <chat|join|leave|death|advancement|broadcast> — Enable/disable proximity for a specific event

Aliases: /prox, /pp

Permissions:

proximity.admin — Full access (reload, radius, debug) proximity.reload — Reload config proximity.radius — Change radius proximity.bypass — Receive ALL messages globally (ignores radius) proximity.debug — Access debug output

Note: proximity.bypass is NOT granted by default to admins.
