HayaMessage

Next-Generation Chat Bubbles for Your Server

HayaMessage brings your server's chat to life by displaying messages directly above players' heads. Perfect for SMPs, RPG servers, and social hubs, this plugin makes communication more immersive and intuitive. No longer do players need to stare at the bottom-left corner of their screen to follow a conversation!

This plugin utilizes modern Minecraft Text Display entities (1.19.4+), ensuring high performance and smooth visuals without the lag associated with old Armor Stand methods.

✨ Key Features

• Modern Rendering: Uses the latest TextDisplay entities for crisp, readable text with optional shadows and background opacity control.
• Smooth Animations: Fully configurable animations for spawning, despawning, and idle floating movement.
• Folia & Paper Support: Built with modern server architecture in mind. Runs flawlessly on Folia's multi-threaded regions.
• Smart Visibility:
  • Sneak to Hide: Messages automatically vanish when a player enters sneak mode (Shift), perfect for staying hidden.
  • Vanish Support: Admin messages in vanish won't spawn floating bubbles, keeping their presence secret.
• Nametag Management: Option to hide vanilla nametags for a cleaner look. You can configure it so Right-Clicking a player reveals their name temporarily.
• Roleplay Friendly: Automatically formats action messages (e.g., *waves*) to italics/gray, enhancing RP scenarios.
• Highly Configurable: Customize height, duration, line width, sounds, and colors directly in config.yml.
