ChatManager

Configuration Documentation

All modifications shown below are made in the config.json file.
The plugin automatically generates and manages this file in the following location:

/mods/ChatManager/config.json

✏️ You can edit it directly with any text editor.

⚠️ Important: Do not change the variable names (keys) — only modify the values (true/false, strings, numbers, lists, etc.).

🌐 Do you have a public server?

ManageChat gives developers the power to manage the chat.

🌍 Want to join user messages across worlds on your Hytale server?

NO — just set disableHytaleMessage: true and say goodbye to default Hytale messages.

👋 Want to send a nice welcome message when players join your server?

Simply edit the welcomeMessage string. Use the placeholder {player} and TinyMessage format for colors and styles.

"welcomeMessage": "<red> Welcome {player} </red>"

📢 Want custom join and leave messages for the whole server?

Edit joinMessage and leaveMessage using {player} and color codes / TinyMessage.

💬 Not happy with the current chat format?

You can fully customize it with colors and placeholders:

{player}  {rank}  {message}

{rank} pulls the player's primary group/rank from your permissions plugin — other ranks are ignored.

🧹 Players using offensive language?

Clear the entire chat instantly with the command:

/clearchat

🛡️ Spammers, offensive words, links or domains in global chat?

Configure the antiSpam section:

• Cooldown between messages (with cooldownMessage and {time} placeholder)
• Blocked domains → blockedDomains list
• Banned words/phrases → bannedWords list
• Custom block message when something is filtered

🔧 Extra anti-spam features:

[1] "maxSimilarMessages": 3,        # prevents sending the same message too many times
[2] "similarityThreshold": 0.85,    # higher value = catches more similar messages
[3] "repeatMessage": "Please don't repeat the same message.",
[4] "maxCapsPercentage": 70,         # blocks messages with >70% uppercase letters
[5] "maxCapStringMessage": "Please avoid using excessive capital letters in your messages."

📣 Ready to promote your server automatically?

Use the built-in auto-message broadcaster: sends periodic automated messages to the global chat — perfect for promotions, server rules, announcements, and events.
