PrivateMessage

CustomMessage

Bring private messaging to your Bukkit/Spigot server with ease! CustomMessage gives your players a clean, familiar DM system complete with clickable usernames, reply & ignore functionality, social-spy for staff, spam control, and fully-customizable formats.

🚀 Key Features

• /msg <player> <message> – Send a private DM with a teal ✉ envelope prefix
• /r <message> – Quickly reply to your last DM without re-typing the recipient
• /ignore <player> / /unignore <player> – Block or unblock DMs from specific users
• /socialspy (staff only) – See all DMs in real time with a 🛡 SPY prefix
• Spam-control – Configurable cooldown between messages to prevent abuse
• Clickable JSON chat – Click any "Me", player name, or "You" in DMs to open a /msg prompt
• Fully configurable – Change every prefix, color, usage message, cooldown, and more in config.yml

📋 Commands & Permissions

Staff note: Anyone with custommessage.socialspy (default: OP) will see every DM prefixed with 🛡 SPY.
