Chat Systems

Chat Systems

PotatoEssentials provides a powerful chat engine supporting MiniMessage and custom channels.

Custom Channels

You can define Integer.MAX_LIMIT (or however many Bukkit's YAML parser can handle XD) chat channels in the config. Each channel can have its own permission, prefix, and command.

Note: The key global is reserved for the main server chat and cannot be used for custom channels.

Example Configuration

chats:
  customChats:
    staff:
      name: "Staff Chat"
      permission: "potatoessentials.staffchat"
      command: "sc"
      cooldown: 0
