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.

Great plugin :) Will be using this on my new factions server :D
@EncryptedCurse
Very nice. Thank you very much EncryptedCurse
There you go! I redid the documentation for the plugin. Hope you like it.
@EncryptedCurse
ok done.
With the documentation/description offer I would be quite happy for you to do that.
Thanks EncryptedCurse
@EncryptedCurse
yep. I can do that. I have added it to my to-do list and it will be done on the next version
Could you allow changing the color of ALL messages, just like mod chat and admin chat? I'd like to have all my Faction Chat messages in gray.
By the way, let me know if you'd like me to do the plugin's documentation/description. Here's a page I did previously for a friend: http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/infected-core/ (not including the logo)

@fyrus12345
Yes I believe I can and will add this. (I forgot all about that)
I have added it so that ally-chat is sent to ally and Truce. If you think it should be seperate please let me know and I can do that in a matter of minutes
Could you please add a Truce chat? People in my server never ally, as it's too risky. (Breakable blocks, stealable chests) So they use Truce as a symbol for ally. However, they can't use Faction chat. :/ Please help. :D
@lst96
Fixed and going to upload it (version 1.12)
link: http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/factionchat/files/20-faction-chat-1-12/
it not Important but was wondering if you could capitalize the "m" when you type in mod-Chat the m is lower case but Admin-Chat is capitalize. no important just bugs me xD
@Nikkolo94
yeah I didn't implement the Faction title into the chat message as I feel this could cause confusion to other Factions
lol i just noticed title arent showed lol :D if do /f title nikkolo trolled
and if i write it just show [tag] nikkolo and no title
@james137137
yes ! ;)
@Mangerman
I don't see why not. once I have learn how PermissionsEX works
also the main functions will work fine without any permissions
Would it be possible to add support for PermissionsEX group prefixes?
@LegndPowerdNube
by default everyone can use ally chat given that they are in a Faction
@james137137
Ok, could you please change it in the post. It is very misleading in it.
FactionChat.AdminChat: Allows player to see and use administrator and ally chat
The ally chat part shouldn't be there...
@LegndPowerdNube
Ally Chat is nothing to do with admin chat. The admin Chat is like a server administrator's chat mode not a Faction leaders chat mode, I'm sorry if I missed lead you on this.
@BamBam042
It should work with the latest version of factions (1.8.0) could you recheck this. Thanks
I use that site as well. Your plugin does not work with the latest version of faction, the messages are not transmitted unless the sender has
