SimpleChatModes
A simple chat management plugin that lets server admins switch between global chat, local proximity-based chat, and full lockdown mode where only private messages are allowed.
SimpleChatModes Plugin Overview:
Chat Modes:
Global: Everyone sees all messages, no restrictions.
Local: Messages are only visible to players within a configurable range (default 50 blocks).
Lockdown: Public chat and non-exempt commands are blocked; only private messages (whispers) are allowed. You can configure the commands that will work in config.yml. Default allowed commands are /msg and /chatmode commands
Configuration (config.yml):
chat-mode: Sets the default chat mode (GLOBAL, LOCAL, LOCKDOWN).
local-chat-range: Distance in blocks for Local mode visibility. If you want a one time change simply do /chatmode local [range]
local-mode-exempt-commands: List of commands that bypass Local or Lockdown restrictions (e.g., msg, chatmode).
Commands:
/chatmode <global|local|lockdown> [range] – Switch chat mode and optionally set Local mode range.
Only players with OP or simplechatmodes.admin permission can run commands.
Features:
Automatically informs joining players of the current chat mode.
Distance-based message delivery in Local mode.
Persistent configuration saved across restarts.
Lightweight and compatible with Paper and Spigot servers.
