Why AwesomeChat?

Most servers need 3–5 separate plugins to handle chat formatting, filtering, private messaging, and moderation.
AwesomeChat replaces them all with one lightweight, well-integrated solution.

• Zero bloat – Every feature is toggleable
• Deep LuckPerms integration – Per-group everything
• Adventure API native – Full MiniMessage and hex color support
• Actively maintained for 1.19+
