Features

• Clear Chat: Instantly wipe the global chat history to hide malicious links, severe spam, or rule-breaking content.
• Mute/Resume Global Chat: Freeze the entire chat instantly during important announcements or server emergencies.
• Permanent File-Backed Chat Bans: Permanently chat-ban individual players. Mutes persist cleanly through server reboots and reloads via a local file (config.yml).
