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.

how do you spy on faction chat now after the original /f chatspy is gone
@cnaude
glad to hear I thought it would be fine.
The new API works great. Thanks!
@james137137
Faction 1.622 is ready for download
uploaded FactionChat 1.621 (should run even faster)
@evilpineapple98
odd. does it produce an error?
@AndrejCarOwner
I could try and support EssentialsChat with public chat but bare in mind that factions itself sure support this in the end
Randomly the plugin will stop working and it will say unknowncommand, so i have to keep reinstalling the mod.
But the problem is thet new Factions don't support EssentialsChat and the Factions Tags are all white :(
@taggerung32
cool. feel free to give suggestion (features/improvements)
@james137137
Found it.
Thanks!!
:)
@taggerung32
thats in the config file
change it to spyModeOnByDefault: false
let me know if you do/don't find it
How do I change it so spy is not on by default?
@AndrejCarOwner
no please use Factions config for any public chat
Will the factions tag be colored for ally,enemy and my faction when on public chat???
@user_238412
well i'm very glad to hear that. Thank you very much for the comment. :D
Just wanted to let you guys know that nothing seems to be broken or, not working in Factions Chat v1.620. I've been contemplating downloading this ever since Factions nerfed their chat system and, I must say once I used a alias plugin you can't even tell I'm running two independent plugins. I'm using this with Hero Chat as well :D
updated FactionChat for 1.6.2 (this plugin will support bukkit 1.2.5)
http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/factionchat/files/64-faction-chat-v1-620/
fixes are based on @james137137
@KevinEssence
I should work. the server i'm admin on is still with 1.8.2
@james137137
No errors never mind, although the latest version of faction chat doesn't work for me in 1.6.2. I still use the old faction plugin before 2.0.
@KevinEssence
what was your error (pastebin please)??
@james137137
Will the update feature be fixed?
