EZChat ( Currently Under Development )

EZChat is a lightweight Hytale server plugin that enhances chat by adding customizable prefixes to player usernames.

✨ Features

Custom chat prefixes for players
Prefixes displayed before usernames in chat
Clean and minimal formatting
Lightweight & performance-friendly

This plugin is in active development and currently does not support specific permissions. Server Admins must have the OP permission to use these commands. Tags will be customizable in the future, but right now default to using [Square Brackets]. Changing the [ ] in the config file, will break the plugin.

Changing the color of the tag needs to be done through the TagConfig.json in the /mods/ca/_ezchat/ folder. Doing this through a command and eventually a UI will come very soon.

This plugin currently relies on Zoltus TinyMessage

🧩 Example Chat Format

[Admin] Sullyq: Hello world!
[Builder] Alex: This looks awesome
[Member] Steve: hi

⚙️ Configuration

EZChat uses a simple configuration system to define prefixes.

Example:

{
  "Tags": {
    "[Admin]": "red",
    "[RandomTag]": "blue",
    "[HexTag]": "#ff00ff"
  }
}
