✨ Core Features

• 🌍 Local & Global Chat: Easily separate conversations with configurable chat radius. Players can switch modes using /l and /g.
• 🎨 RGB, HEX & Gradients: Full support for modern Minecraft colors. Create stunning gradients using {#start_hex>}text{#end_hex<} or standard &#hex codes!
• 🖱️ Interactive Chat (JSON): Hover over player names to see their ranks or stats (PlaceholderAPI support), and click to quickly send a private message.
• 🗡️ Item Showcase ([item]): Allow players to show off their gear! Typing [item] in chat displays the item in their main hand with a beautiful hoverable tooltip showing enchantments, lore, and amount.
• 💭 Chat Bubbles: Bring your server to life! When players speak, holographic chat bubbles appear above their heads for a few seconds.

🛡️ Smart Moderation & Protection

• 🧠 Advanced Regex Filter: Block swears, insults, and advertisements. The smart regex engine catches bypass attempts (like s.w.e.a.r or w.o.r.d).
• 🛑 Anti-Spam & Anti-Caps: Prevent players from sending duplicate messages or spamming CAPITAL LETTERS.
• 🔗 Link & IP Blocker: Automatically block unauthorized links and server IPs in the chat.
• 🔇 Mute System Hooks: Seamlessly integrates with Essentials and AdvancedBan. If a player is muted there, gChat won't let them speak!
• 🧹 Chat Control: Clear the chat (/clearchat) or mute the entire global chat globally (/mutechat) during emergencies.

⚙️ Deep Customization

• 🎭 Group-Specific Formats: Create unique chat formats, Join, and Quit messages for different LuckPerms ranks.
• 💀 Detailed Death Messages: Replaces boring vanilla deaths. Set unique, customizable messages based on the exact cause of death (Fall, Lava, Void, Fire, Drowning, Player Kill, Mob Kill).
• 🏆 Custom Advancements: Beautiful, hoverable advancement announcements that natively support both Vanilla and Datapack/Modded advancements!
• 📺 Custom Channels: Create specific channels (e.g., Staff Chat, Trade Chat) with their own permissions, aliases, and radius.
• 📢 Auto-Broadcaster: Scheduled server announcements with multi-line support, headers, footers, and clickable URL links.

🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Player Experience

• 🔔 Mentions & Pings: Type @Player to notify them with a sound and Action Bar message. Admins can use @everyone.
• ✉️ Private Messages & Spy: Built-in /msg and /reply system. Admins can silently monitor conversations using Social Spy.
• 🛠️ Personal Settings Menu (/settings): Players can customize their chat experience! They can toggle global chat, disable death/join messages, change their mention sound, or even set a personal chat color theme.
