🔗 Automatic Link Detection

Links in messages are automatically converted into clickable chat links.

🔊 Command Sounds

Play sounds when commands are executed to provide feedback to players.

⚡ Run Commands Anywhere

Commands can execute:

• as the player
• as the server console
• on the Velocity proxy
• on backend servers (Spigot, Paper, Purpur, etc)

🔐 Permission Support

Restrict commands with permissions so only certain players can use them.

You can also define view permissions so only certain players receive broadcasted messages.

📦 Built-in Placeholders

Velocity Commands includes several built-in placeholders, such as:

• %player_name%
• %player_ping%
• %server_online_players%
• and more!

These allow you to create dynamic and interactive commands.
