ChatLock
When your server chat hits peak chaos, every second counts. ChatLock is a lightweight, zero-bloat administration utility that gives your staff team absolute control over the chat stream during bot attacks, arguments, or raid attempts.
🛠️ Features
- Instant Toggle: One single command (
/chatlock) freezes or unfreezes global server chat instantly. - Immersive Visual Popups: When the chat state changes, an elegant screen title and subtitle alert pops up for every single online player to grab their attention instantly.
- Smart Permission Bypass: Staff members with the admin permission node bypass the lock automatically, letting them coordinate cleanup efforts right in public chat.
- Strict Error Reinforcement: Keeps chat entirely clean. When a muted player tries to type, their text is intercepted and replaced with a clean, un-intrusive warning.
- Zero Performance Impact: Listens to modern asynchronous chat events without interrupting main server ticks.
🔒 Permissions & Integration
Hooks directly into vanilla Bukkit permission nodes to guarantee native, out-of-the-box integration with LuckPerms.
syntropic.chatlock.admin- Grants permission to toggle the chat lock state, see admin logs, and talk freely while the lock is active.
📈 Compatibility
Engineered using universal, cross-version Paper and Spigot API methods. Designed to function flawlessly across older environments and modern server builds, fully supporting Minecraft 26.1 and upwards without maintenance required.
