JellyChats

jelly-chats

JellyChats is a highly customizable Redis-based private chats plugin for Velocity proxies.

Pre-requisites

For building from source:

• JDK 17 or higher
• An Internet connection

For running the plugin:

• A Redis instance
• JRE 17 or higher
• A Velocity proxy

Installation

Grab the latest release from here, then drop it into your plugins/ folder.

Creating new chats

Go to the plugins/jelly-chats/config.yml file in your server, then add a new entry inside the chats section:

  moderator:
    enabled: true
    name: "Moderators"
    channel: "jelly-chats/mods"
    permission: "jelly-chats.chat.moderator"
    command:
      main: "mod-chat"
      aliases:
        - "m"
        - "mc"
        - "modchat"
        - "mods"
        - "mod"

You can also simplify it to:

  moderator:
    enabled: true

In these cases:

• The name will be set to the chat ID
  • moderator in this example
• The Redis channel will be set to the value of default-channel-prefix + the chat ID
  • jelly-chats/moderator in this example
• The permission will be set to jelly-chats.chat. + the chat ID
  • jelly-chats.chat.moderator in this example
• The command will be the chat ID + -chat
  • /moderator-chat in this example
• The command will have no aliases

Formatting new chats

Simply add a new entry under messages → formatting with the same chat ID:

messages:
  # ...
  formatting:
    moderator: "<gold>[MOD] (<server>)</gold> <yellow><author>:</yellow> <content>"

This example assumes you're using the same chat created earlier.
