I wrote this Plugin after I saw a similiar one without remote function. This plugin provides you with realtime information about player join / player quit events and display them on your desktop (Windows 7 ( XP not tested yet)/ Linux ). And you are able to chat with friends without being online.

Features

Displays player join and player quit on your server
Realtime playerlist
Realtime remote chat

Commands

To register use /hn register password retypepassword

To chat from ingame to a playerclient use /hn username message
Use /hn connected to see connected playerclients

Usage

Just put the serverplugin on your server and start.
If you want a different port, change it in the config after you start the server and restart the server
use /hn register password retypepassword to register on the server
start the client add your serverip and port, login with your minecraftname and the password from step 3, enjoy!

Client: HeroNotifyClient

How it looks: Windows:

win

Linux(could be different)

Playerlist & chat:

playerlist

Known Bugs:

Sadly there are a few bugs in this version,

the bubbles dont stay in the same color as they should

the scrollbar in the chatwindow dont scroll down every time

sometimes the player join/quit doesn't appear and the playerlist dont get updated but its fixed as soon as another player joins

I tried to find all NullPointerExceptions in this version but sometimes they are hiding very well...

please have in mind that this is a beta, and I'm new to Java and this is my first bigger project :)

I hope I can use this project to learn a lot more in Java programming :D
