MineTags

Let players use hashtags like on Twitter in the chat!

MineTags detects hashtags in chat messages, highlights them and then sends it to a server that ranks the trending topics.

Players on my server really liked having hashtags in Minecraft as it made conversation more interactive. Therefore I decided to take the idea and create an up-to-date version where I could add the features I wanted.

Hashtags

Features

Coloured #hashtags in chat
Supports multiple hashtags per message
Player @tagging with "note"ifications

Trending tags are based on time (say, if they haven't been used that day/week then they aren't shown as popular)

Global Trending Server

Check out the top hashtags by typing /trending in-game or here on the MineTags website: boveybrawlers.com/minetags

API

Use the MineTags-API to show the Global Trending Server information on your own website. Tutorial can be found on my GitHub repo.

MineTags is based off of the inactive plugin Minecraft Hashtags, all credit goes to aaron524 for this idea.
