sChatManager

sChatManager turns off chat completely and blocks commands by blacklist. There are no permission nodes and no bypass logic — the block applies to everyone equally.

Features

• Disable player chat server-wide with one config flag
• Block commands by blacklist, or block every command at once
• Customizable response messages, single-line or multi-line
• & color codes, plus &#RRGGBB hex colors on 1.16+
• Empty message means the action is blocked silently

Compatibility

One jar for 1.8 through 26.2, Spigot and Paper alike. Chat is intercepted through Paper's AsyncChatEvent where it exists and through AsyncPlayerChatEvent everywhere else — the plugin picks at startup and logs the choice. Nothing version-specific is a hard dependency, so no separate builds are needed.

Java requirements are whatever your server version already needs: Java 8 for 1.8, Java 25 for 26.2.

Setup

1. Put sChatManager-1.0.0.jar into plugins
2. Start the server once to generate `plugins/sChatManager/con
3. Edit it and run /schatmanager reload

chat:
  enabled: false
  message: "&cЧат на сервере отключён."

commands:
  block-all: false
  blacklist:
    - "msg"
    - "tell"
  message: "&cЭта команда заблокирована."

Blacklist entries ignore case, a leading / and a namespace prefix, so tell, /tell and minecraft:tell are the same thing. An entry with a space mat gamemode creative blocks /gamemode creative Steve but not /gamemode survival.

Notes

• /schatmanager reload (aliases /scm, /schat) is availabrs. It is an op check, not a permission.
• block-all: true blocks literally every player command, including ones from other plugins such as /spawn or /tpaccept. Only /schatmanager stays available, otherwise blocking could not be turned off from in-game.
