HeroicChat

Introduction

HeroicChat is a plug and play, easy to use chat plugin. This plugin will add channel based chat to you minecraft server. Once a new player joins the server he will be put in the default channel and he will be able to talk to everyone in that channel. The player will also be able to join and create other channels.

What is a Channel?

A channel is a chatroom for people to chat in. Every channel has its own name and prefix. People are able to listen (receive) chat from other channels, but they can only speak in one channel at the time. This will prevent a lot of spam to the online players on the server. Also a channel can provide privacy to chat, because you can password protect a channel to prevent a lot of people from joining.

How does it work?

When a player joins your server for the first time they will be put in the default channel. They can then create a temporary channel to have a good time with their friends. When a player creates a channel, the channel will some default configurations. The owner of the channel or a player with the bypass permission can edit these configurations. Some of these configurations include prefixes and password protection. Once they all left the channel, it will be deleted by HeroicChat preventing lag.
