RoyalChat
A simple chat manager for your Minecraft server
RoyalChat - v0.0.8
Works with bPerms, PermsBukkit, P2/3, GroupManager, PEX, and more!
RoyalChat 0.2.0pre (rewritten again)
Channels are nicer, the config is cleaner, bugs are fixed. It's better. Grab it from here.
RoyalChat was created by myself (jkcclemens) as a simple way to manage the chat format on my server. We were previously using iChat, but the way it wanted to use permissions was too different and unsupported for me. With this in mind, I set out to create a functional chat plugin that followed in the footsteps of iChat, but uses its own code. Thus, RoyalChat was born.
RoyalChat uses suffixes, prefixes, and groups from your permissions to greatly simplify the amount of work you need to do with ranks. Unlike iChat (which has you edit another file with this information), all the data is pulled from any Vault-compatible permissions plugin. See the Permissions Example page for more information.

PermissionsEx, PermissionsBukkit (no real support), bPermissions, and GroupManager are all confirmed to be working. bPermissions support is only available in rChat v0.0.35 or above.
You can also use variables from Towny in RoyalChat (v0.0.4 or above). See Configuration for more information.
RoyalChat depends on Vault.
Commands
RoyalChat has a few commands (mainly since it's a chat formatter) that you can use.
Command | Description | Permission Node |
---|---|---|
/rchat | Reloads the configuration file and displays the version number | rchat.rchat |
/me [status] | Allows you to emote (e.g. "jkcclemens is hungry.") | rchat.me |
/say [message] | Speaks as the console (configurable) | rchat.say |
/clear | Clears the chat box | rchat.clear |
No Command | Allows the user to use color in their messages | rchat.color |
/ch [channel] (password) | Changes the channel you're in. | rchat.channel |
Permissions
RoyalChat implements Vault for Permissions. Any plugin supported by it is also supported by RoyalChat.
The permissions are listed above with the commands.
Features
I designed RoyalChat to encompass the features that I had wanted. There are just a few, but I'm open to suggestions.
- Caps filter! Make messages with a customizable percentage in caps lowercase! e.g. "I HATE ALL OF YOU!" becomes "i hate all of you!" - There is a bypass permission node as well
- @[user] - Highlights the [user] in aqua to make it clear who you're talking to (not private chat) e.g. "Hi jkcclemens" would highlight "jkcclemens" in aqua with an "@" in front of it
- Spout support for user highlighting. Achievement notifications, and a text counter (bottom-left of screen) are configurable in the config.
- /me can be formatted
- &[hexcode] is fully supported
- You can edit the chat format in the config (see Configuration)
- Auto-capitalize messages (config option)
- URL highlighting
- Towny integration
- % support

Would love to see this updated for 1.3.1+
Does this work 100% for 1.3?
I'm getting "You feel lonely" every time I enter a message. I know this is a common error with Towny, but my server has never had Towny installed, and the message still appears after using their solution (adding the 'towny.chat.general' perm node). Any idea what's causing this?
Edit: The message only appears when I'm the only player on the server. Problem solved!
Can you add Support for CountryLoginMessage ?
sorry, here is
Needed update for 1.3.1
I'm using 0.1.0pre and PEX. Only ops can see rchat.adminchat even though they have that perm. Thanks
Could i request permissions for certain channels? I was trying to make a staff channel for my mods with a password, but everyone can read it. Since the /ac is for op only, I need to find a way to chat privately with my mods.
Can you add support for the codes such as &m, &l and &n? I see Essentials Chat has it, but I like RoyalChat much more :)
@jkcclemens
I've looked over my permissions hundreds of times trying to find it, but I looked over it again today and found 'rchat.say' in one of my lower ranks.. Wow. I don't remember adding that :/
Thanks for putting up with me ;)
Is there a way to change the color of the text that people type based on their group?
@jkcclemens
I....am..
@jkcclemens
Update what? I run the latest everything..
@jkcclemens
I run the latest one. My default users can use it whenever they please :/
/say can be used by everyone regardless of permission. This really needs to be fixed..
No, I have prefixes setup. With colors. But I want the actual text that people type to be a different color per group.
Hello,
Is there any way to make it so that a certain permission group has different coloured text?
For example:
[Admin] Calum: [MY MESSAGE IN RED]
[Normal] Bob: [HIS MESSAGE IN WHITE]
Thanks for a great plugin, I FREAKING LOVE IT!
Calum
@yurikoma
I use bPermissions. Originally I didn't give anyone, any permission to use /say, but they could still use it. So, I added the negative permission to my default group which did nothing.
@sillyrosster what permissions are you using, and what nodes have you given the people you don't want to be able to use the /say command?
For some reason, after awhile, everyone loses their prefixes/suffixes and the only thing left is their username and the world their in? I have to reload the entire server just to get them back. And when I turn on channels, everyone's names disappears and the only thing left is the worldname. Help? thanks!
