This plugin provide a simple syntax for colored private messages. Please leave some feedback how you like it(even if not). :)

How does it work?

Sending a message

The player just need to type:

@receiverName: message

or

@receiverName message

After that the receiver will get a message like this:

<SenderName> message

The <SenderName> is highlighted with a extra color. The message also. No one except the receiver can see the message. If a player want's to mention more than one user he can type:

@receiverName1, receiverName2: message

Configuration

Chaname is using the Configuration API of Bukkit and provide some options to customize your plugin.

If this is set to true, the sender will get his message as copy, so it's available in his chat history.

If this is set to true, all online players will receive the message. Just the receiver receive a highligthed message.
