BlueMap Web Chat

BlueMap Web Chat adds a real-time chat panel directly to your BlueMap web map, allowing players and web users to chat without leaving the map page.

It works as a server-side Bukkit/Spigot/Paper plugin and can run as a BlueMap web addon or as a standalone web chat page. No client-side Minecraft mod is required.

Notes

This plugin is designed for server owners who want a lightweight web chat experience connected to BlueMap without requiring players to install a client mod.

HTTP-only mode is supported for private/testing use. Passwords are stored hashed on the server, but HTTP login traffic is not encrypted. Use HTTPS for public servers.

Font note: Installed fonts must be typed by their CSS font-family name. Chat settings include a Test button that estimates whether the typed name is available in the current browser without requesting local-font permissions.
