ChatLocker

Added:

• Locked Message Logging: You can now keep a record of what players try to say while the chat is locked!
  • A new option, log_locked_messages, has been added to config.yml. It is set to false by default.
  • When enabled (true), all messages sent during a chat lockdown will be saved to the locked-chat.log file in the plugin's folder.
  • Each entry includes the date, time, player's name, and the message, making it ideal for moderation and auditing purposes.

Improvements:

• Hide Commands for Players without Permissions: For a cleaner user experience, the plugin's commands (/lock, /unlock, /chatstatus) will no longer be visible or auto-completed for players who do not have the required permissions. This prevents users from seeing commands they can't use.

✅ Added

• Option to disable advancement (achievement) chat messages on Spigot/Paper servers.
• Option to disable the “Chat Locked” message shown when players try to chat while chat is locked.
• Built-in update checker (no external config required):
  • Automatically checks if a newer version is available.
  • (Internal toggle) Can prefer Release-only updates or allow Beta/Alpha versions.

Added

• Added proper Spigot-side handling for Bungee → Spigot chat control via plugin messaging (BungeeCord channel, ChatControl subchannel) to support remote LOCK/UNLOCK.
• Added /chatstatus command to report current chat lock state.
• Added new message keys to messages.yml:
  • chat_status_locked
  • chat_status_unlocked
• Added {sender} placeholder support to lock/unlock broadcasts.

Fixed

• Fixed Spigot messages.yml loading (was incorrectly reading from config.yml), preventing missing-message null values and potential NPEs.

• Added support for proxy servers (Bungee Cord, Waterfall)
• The /chatstatus command has been removed.
• If you have integrated the plugin into Bungee Cord you can use the command "/lock " same with "/unlock" command.

THIS IS A BETA VERSION. SOME FEATURES MAY NOT WORK CORRECTLY.

• An optional Action bar has been added (configurable in the config.yml file) that is displayed when the chat is locked.
• Added new Action bar message in messages.yml.
