FactionChat
In the most recent versions of the oh so popular Factions (1.7 and above), you may have noticed that the faction chat feature was removed. Faction chat really comes in handy at times to easily talk with whole groups, whether you're planning with your allies to take down that faction you just hate that or discussing top secret plans with your clan. This plugin is there to fill in that gap and bring back this high demand feature, aiming to replicate what has now been removed from Factions.
The author of FactionChat is constantly updating to make sure that FactionChat is designed to work without any bugs and function at top-notch performance out-of-the-box.
Features.
- Faction-only, ally, truce and enemy chat modes
- Send a message to other factions, even if you're not allies with them
- Staff chat channels
- Ability to spy on all messages
- Easy to use chat-mode toggles/commands

Support and like my work? Donate to keep development going.
I have spent many hours creating and perfecting this plugin for public use, and I expect many more hours still to come through updating and adding features requested by the community. You can even spare a buck or two, after all, every little bit helps! If you are unable to donate, it would still be awesome if you could let me know how the plugin is working for you and leave a thanks in the comments section.

Author debug access.
In the v1.5 update, I have added a new config option called "AllowAuthorDebugAccess". If set to true and your server is running in online-mode, then it allows me, james137137, to use the follow commands: /fchatother, /fc jrmod, /fc mod, /fc srmod, /fc jradmin, /fc admin, /fc spy, /fc update, and /fc reload. Please note that this does not give me the ability to use any other commands. You may never even need to enable this, unless you personally need help and have invited me to test something for/with you. This feature is enabled by default, however it can easily be toggled through the configuration.
MCStats.
This plugin utilizes Hidendra's metrics system in order to keep track of the plugin's popularity, as well as other metadata. The following information is collected and sent to mcstats.org:
- Unique identifier
- Java version
- Offline/online mode
- FactionChat version
- Server version (i.e. Bukkit 1.6.4, Spigot 1.7.2)
- OS name, version and architecture
- Amount of CPU cores
- Amount of players online
- Metrics version
Opting out of this service can be done by editing the config.yml and changing MetricsOptOut to true.
Inbuilt Updater
This plugin utilizes an external version checking system, which means that the plugin makes a connection to curseforge.com and the following may occur:
- The plugins version checked
- Downloading of the plugin files
The update can only occur when a player with permission "FactionChat.Update" runs the command "/fc update" or any /FactionChat alias with "update".
FactionChat is a stable plugin that is used by about 1,400 servers worldwide; that's a lot! Thanks to everyone who make this happen.

@CraftThatBlock
well i guess this plugin wont last long then if its worth upgrading to Factions 1.8
After testing Faction 1.8 I can't find the Faction chat mode function.
however I did get a reply from Cayorion (an Author of Factions) he stated the following.
" I believe it's a good practice to keep different plugins for different features. Putting chat into the factions plugin is a step in the wrong direction. External plugins like yours is probably the way to go allthough they should not be seens as quick fixes and effort should be put into coding them properly."
You know this is in Factions by itself. Right?
well it works on Factions 1.8
O well just nvm :) focus on faction chat ;)
@Nikkolo94
Well I won't be able to adding some format cause I would have to deal essentials Group manager
best thing would be to check the conf files for factions
I think Factions 1.6.9.4 might still have the Faction chat mode stuff
I'll see what I can do. I might be able in the end just make something up so it adds the tag on the end of the public chat
james is possible make this plugin work with factions 1.6.9.4 ? is the only way for get tag :( or maybe you can fix tag using your factionchat ?
is essentials chat, i will look for solutions, maybe just add some formats
@Nikkolo94
yeah i know the problem. it might be a plugin like ichat preventing the tag showing up. i don't think its bukkitforge
hm all working good :D but one question (i know here isnt the right place) with faction 1.7.9 if i create faction it dont show the tag [faction] [player] is bukkitforge problem or i need enable it from config ?
@Nikkolo94
ok. let me know how it goes
Good, i will test it as soon i can
ok good news. I have updated the plugin so spy chat is toggle-able and I have added some conf file
http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/factionchat/files/14-faction-chat-0-3-beta/
/fc (or /fchat) has not permissions nodes and is granted by all players this only requirement is to be in a faction. If a player leaves a faction and is not public chatmode the player can still change chat mode to public (or just re-login)
Right now if you don't want a player to have the spy function don't give them the permission node :D. But I can definitely see then need of a spytoggle when you have 200 players talking which is spamming you.
spytoggle will still of course require FactionChat.spy but if a player were to change worlds that the player doesn't have the permission FactionChat.spy then it would be disabled for them. (nice and simple I hope)
yeah it is not nice, is fantastic!! about config good luke :D i hopy you will release a spytoggle as soon you can, it is realy need xD just think about 200 users write on factions chat omg :P
P.s ./fchat ally/faction/pubblic this is granted by default or have permission node?
no problem. yeah I thought the admin/mod chat would be a nice bonus. I am now learning to make a config file so I will be able to complete quite a bit on my to-do list soon
so this plugin is going quite well and getting closer to being a release version.
good again thanks you for the plugin :D is really usefull and the mod/admin chat are really good, so now i dont need use another plugin for admin chat :D
:D no problem the spytoggle will be done before config I expect
omg thank you now all working !!!!! plublic ally faction mod admin no one have problem :D now just w8ing for config and spytoggle
ok found the problem. I will try and fix this asap
ok bug fixed just fixing 1 more bug
ok done: see link http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/factionchat/files/12-faction-chat-0-23-beta/
