ProximityPlus
ProximityPlus is a lightweight, high-performance proximity chat and event filtering plugin that limits message visibility based on distance between players. Instead of global spam, players only receive chat and server events occurring within a configurable radius, creating a more immersive and localized multiplayer experience.
Ideal for Survival, SMP, Roleplay, and immersion-focused servers.
FEATURES
- Configurable global proximity radius
- Independent proximity control for: Chat Join messages Leave messages Death messages Advancements Broadcasts
- Live configuration reload
- Runtime radius adjustment
- Toggle events without restart
- Optional bypass permission (see everything globally)
- Built-in debug mode
- Optimized for low overhead and high performance
- Works with or without PlaceholderAPI
HOW IT WORKS
When proximity is enabled, messages and events are only sent to players within the configured radius of the source player.
This reduces global chat spam, encourages localized interaction, and improves immersion.
All changes can be applied live without restarting the server.
