LPC Minimessage - Chat Formatter

LPC – LuckPerms Chat Formatter ✨

A flexible chat formatting plugin with MiniMessage support for LuckPerms

Modern chat formatting powered by MiniMessage, full LuckPerms metadata support, group/track formats, and PlaceholderAPI.

🧩 Compatibility

🔧 Requirements

• LuckPerms (Required) – Permissions plugin
• PlaceholderAPI (Optional) – Additional placeholders

✅ Features

Formatting

• Full MiniMessage support, with group- and track-specific formats
• Optional PlaceholderAPI integration and [item] placeholder (hover tooltip on Paper)
• Per-rank message styling and per-rank gradient names ({gradient-name})
• Per-world toggle via disabled-worlds

Social (on by default)

• @Mention pings – highlight online names + sound/action-bar ping (Paper)
• Emoji shortcuts – e.g. :heart: → ❤ (fully configurable)
• Clickable links – URLs become openUrl links on Paper, coloured on Spigot

Moderation (off by default)

• Anti-spam cooldown, repeated-message blocker, caps filter, profanity mask, anti-advertising
• Per-player mute (/lpc mute) + LuckPerms mute node for punishment plugins

Server messages (off by default)

• MiniMessage join / quit / first-join / death messages

Quality of life

• /lpc reload · version · help · mute · unmute with tab completion
• Built-in Modrinth update checker
• Safe by design – player messages can never inject click/hover/command components
• Works on both Paper (Adventure rendering) and Spigot (legacy fallback)

⌨️ Commands

🧑💼 Permissions

ℹ️ Even with lpc.chatcolor, only cosmetic tags (colours, decorations, and optionally gradients/rainbow) are honoured in player messages. Interactive tags (click, hover, insertion, …) are always stripped.
