QChatSimple

💬 QChatSimple

QChat is an interactive, lightweight, and highly configurable chat management plugin designed for modern Paper servers. It shifts heavy operations (such as location updates, SQLite logging, and text similarity checks) to asynchronous threads, ensuring your server ticks stay perfectly stable.

With a rich array of visual polish, interaction features, and a built-in SQLite moderation suite, QChat serves as an all-in-one chat solution.

✨ Key Features

📍 Ranged Local & Global Chat

• Keep chat local with custom block radius options (e.g., 100 blocks).
• Players can prefix their messages (e.g., with !) to shout globally.
• Warns players if they are talking to themselves with a "no listeners nearby" message.

↩️ Interactive Reply System

• Click a [↩] button next to any message to auto-fill a reply format.
• Shows a clean hover card preview of the original message above your reply, with optional small-caps stylization.
• Sends configurable notifications (Action Bar, Title, and/or Pling sound pings) to the recipient.

🔔 Smart Mentions

• Ping players using @username in chat.
• Highlights the mentioned player's name in a customizable color and style.
• Plays a configurable sound ping only to the mentioned player.

🎨 Visual Polish & Text Stylization

• Hoverable Stickers: Turn specific words into interactive "stickers" with custom colors, styles (bold, italic, obfuscated), and hover-text.
• Color Triggers: Start a message with certain characters (like >) to color the entire line (e.g., classic green-text style).
• Legacy & Hex Color Support: Easily use hex colors (#ffffff or &#ffffff) and custom defined shorthand color maps.

👤 Name Hover & Click Cards

• Supports dynamic tooltips when hovering over player names in chat.
• Custom dynamic variables like %world%, %group%, %prefix%, %suffix%, %player%, and PlaceholderAPI.
• Click on a name to suggest a custom action (like /msg <player> ).

🛡️ Moderation & SQLite Mute System

• SQLite Database: Stores temporary and permanent mutes safely across restarts.
• In-depth commands: Check active mutes with /qmutelist or query exact details with /qmuteinfo.
• Smart Anti-Spam: Prevents flood with configurable cooldowns, similarity checking (Levenshtein distance), and a percentage-based Caps Lock filter.
• Profanity Filter: Automatically blocks messages containing configurable blocked words.
