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.

I'm also experiencing this problem, so I doubt it's something we're doing wrong or there is a problem on our sides.
I tryed 0.22 and 0.222 when i have mode ally or faction i write hello and it send one to chat mode chat and one to main chat, you comfirm it is my problem or is the plugin?
It doesn't seem to work for us. I'm using FactionChat 0.222 beta and Factions 1.8.0. I can use the commands to change my chat mode perfectly fine (and there are no errors either), but whenever I send a message after that, they're posted to the main chat.
Dont worry bukkitforge dont need ported plugins since build 49, i will try 1.7.8 other told me 1.8 is not working with bukkitforge Also bukkitforge still miss some event maybe is that
I think it might be something doing with bukkitforge but not much I can do atm as i'm not plain to make two plugins (one for bukkit and one for bukkitforge)
it seems to be working fine with bukkit with factions 1.7.8... i'm not sure if there is a faction 1.8 yet.
im using faction 1.8 when i do /fchat it change mode but nothing change in chat, everyone can read me, maybe is factions bugged for tekkitlite :(
Im going to school when i come back i will try it :) Ty for pmed me
i used http://www.technicpack.net/tekkit-lite/ with a coremod named bukkitforge (it is for load plugins since tekkitlite dont have this feature) official post: http://forums.technicpack.net/threads/bukkitforge-getting-bukkit-plugins-on-tekkit-lite.34804/ they release 10/15 versions every day
@Nikkolo94
ok thanks Nikkolo94 I'll test it myself later and add the info on the main page
well it loaded good and no error in console, all commands work
ok wait a sec imdownloading server and faction hmm you have skype ? not for talking just chat XD
@Nikkolo94. yeah that's a good idea I will make a to-do list. as for tekkit I have no idea. you could try and run in already. I haven't tested it on a tekkit server but being that tekkit uses bukkit it might just work.
if you don't mind could you test it for me Nikkolo94 and post back if it works. else i'll add this to my to-do list
good :) good luck it will be compatible with tekkit lite server? you should make a to do list so user dont ask for feature already on your plan
@Nikkolo94 Thanks for the comment.This will come in time. I fully understand that people will want (and need) this toggle chat function, even on the sever I am on is it a high demand thing. At the moment I am trying to make sure everything works perfectly. (it might be on the next version or next)
@SamusIsHot Thanks for the comment. I looked everywhere too. After all the time wasting looking and testing plugins, I ended up making this plugin.
make sure you download the latest version for best features (see change log)
if you will add a toggle mode instead of use /fchat every messagers i will use it ty :D
Thank you for doing this! I just haven't found a chat plugin that can replace the faction chat!
