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.

@PgBiel
it should be in the config
@SkittlesCraft
updating now
Any way you can make it so you can remove the players' prefix and nick? I want it to be just the player name so I can use the old factions style.
@james137137
Hey i get this message on my console [Server] WARN [FactionChat]: This version of FactionChat might not support the latest factions, please update FactionChat; if there isn't one advailble nag james137137
Im using the latest factions on spigot
@Ordrox
I think there might be a bug in my code....
@CharelDoesMC
In progress
great plugin! But is there a version for this version of factions? https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/factionsone.9249/ Its like factions 1.6.9.5 but for 1.8. Thank You!
Hi! I've found a lil' bug with the enemy chat.
You can't use the /fe command to send a message directly to your ennemies OUT of the ennemy channel (/fc e). You can't use /fe if you are in the puplic channel or allied channel (/fc p or /fc a, etc...).
There's no error, just nothing in sent in the chat, the command is still recorded in the logs. Can you fix this please?
EDIT: There's something else with the ennemy channel, everyone see it even if factions are not ennemies. I have the feeling that ennemy channel is some kind of a channel PUBLIC 2.
@fatninjacatmatt
glad you got it sorted.
@fatninjacatmatt
NVM, forgot the " ' "s. Lol. Thanks for an awesome plugin!
Also, anyone trying for the original faction chat format, try something like this:
FactionChat: '&a{1}{T}{2}:&r {M}'
AllyChat: '&d{1}{T}{0} {2}:&r {M}'
Hey awesome plugin! Is there any way to set it so that instead of seeing "Leader" it says "**"? I tried setting "leader: **" in the conf, but it broke the config saying it was expecting text or numbers. Any way around this? Thanks!
@overyde
Could you update to 1.9.9 (http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/factionchat/files/111-faction-chat-1-9-9/) and repost the error. (if its not fixed)
Thanks
Having a problem with all versions of factionchat. Any ideas where I should go from here, i've deleted the whole MStore and factionchat folders, still the same.

@jamisen10
done.
see http://anderson.lolnet.co.nz:8081/job/FactionChat/36/ for the snapshot to test out (i'll publish it later on dev.bukkit)
@james137137
Ok, thanks for the reply, I have one more idea.
Make all permissions lowercase? I did that for the VIP one, but people couldn't use the vip chat.
@jamisen10
no. I did that once but I removed it as it isn't part of the Factions stuff. consider VIP/staff chat a bonus
@james137137
IDEA TO MIND! Allow us to make our own chat channels, be able to define prefix for the chat, and permission? (plus command, default /fc /f c <name>)
@jamisen10
FactionChat.VIPChat
What is the permission for the VIP chat?
@pablolop002
might be best just to modify the english list. I'll look into it later (hopfuly at 1.9.10)
@james137137
Same problem with that build. I modify messages in english list and no problem. It is a MessageLanguaje option's problem.
