🧠 How it Works
- The plugin loads chat formats defined in
config.yml. - When a player sends a message, the plugin:
- Detects their applicable format (based on permission priority).
- Applies placeholders, colors, and hover/click actions.
- Sends the formatted message to all players and the console.
- If the player has the proper permission, they can use & color codes in their messages
- If
&kis blocked and the player uses it, they receive a warning.
📥 Installation
- Download the plugin JAR.
- Download PlaceholderAPI
- Place it in your
plugins/folder. - Restart the server.
- Configure
config.ymland run/customchat reload.
