Overview

ChatReply is designed for survival, RPG, and minigame servers that need chat interaction, automatic guidance, rule reminders, and VIP-only responses.

Typical use cases:

• Player sends Hello in public chat -> auto reply: hi, player!
• Player sends help -> private message with rule/help tips
• New player joins -> automatic welcome message
• VIP sends vipkit -> private response + backend give command
• Regex match like price diamond -> auto reply with item price

All keywords and reply texts are stored in replies.yml. After editing, just run /chatreply reload to apply changes immediately (no server restart needed).
