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.

Can you really not use ally chat if you don't have the factionchat.adminchat permission? Allied chat shouldn't be a part of that permission.
ok I have added a new feature which allow you to change the messages depending on the language
so far it support english, french, german, and other (which is a custom)
all messages can be changed in the conf file
by the way: I used http://translate.google.com/ to translate it so I'm sorry if it is incorrect but again it is changeable in the conf file
@BamBam042
or better still I could create some language translation on the Config file. (that is easy to change)
Hello ,
Please can you share the source of the plugin on github for a French translation.
Thank you in advance
:D yeah you are right, also
779 download :P 750 downloads <== yet to complete
na i just ask because i prefer dont add one plugin for channel when i already have essentials chats and factionchats, after i might get conflict :D
@Nikkolo94
After thinking about this Nikkolo94 I won't be making custom Channels.
There and plenty of plugins like this.
Although I could make something like this quite simply, however FactionChat was (and still is) designed to bring back the Faction chat mode.
Nikkolo94 I might make something later as a different plugin if you are unable to find a already made plugin
hey james137137
maybe you can implement custum channel ???
you put in the config
Custom channel:
- help
- test
- ect
the permission get name of channel "factionchat.help, factionchat.test"
and command: "/fc help, /fc test"
maybe you can, maybe you cant :P up to you
@dunem666
may I ask what version of Factions is this. looking in http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/factions/files/ the lastest version I can find is 1.8.0 (just testing what you are saying now)
using /f c or /f chat there is no feature. could you please double check dunem666
also this plugin was not designed as a "I can do better than you" but more of a added/replacement feature for the Factions Chat feature for when it is not available on that version
i use the latest factions and have no issue using the following commands.
rendering this plugin useless!
instead of using /f chat
use /f c
-_-
508 download :D good job
no problem. If any bugs are found or you request a feature feel free to ask
Thanks you man !! I love this plugin
Version 1.0 is out (release and stable version)
@Sonorpearl there is the normal public chat... what do you mean by a local channel. If you explain to me what you would like then i might be able to add it.
@fyrus12345
