ChatControl is the most comprehensive and configurable solution that will pimp your server's grade to a new level! It was originally made to prevent spam, ads, swear words or bots from ruining your server, but it has evolved far beyond a chat controlling plugin.

Fully supporting powerful regular expressions allows to significantly reduce amount of spam, caps, ads, swearing and even bots on your server.

While beginners will appreciate ability to create rules in-game and richly commented configuration files with examples, advanced users engage the power of regular expressions, and can write their own JavaScript scripts to create own variables or events. JSON is fully supported in messages.
But it offers so much more!



Notice: You can disable every feature and hide each message. ChatControl has almost ZERO hard-coded features that cannot be changed. Everything is customizable.

Five Layered the Best Anti-Spam Ever Released

• 1. Prevent TOO FAST messages and commands.
• 2. Block SIMILAR messages and commands.
• 3. Blocks different but REPETITIVE messages (hello, t, hello, t).
• 4. ADAPTIVE Anti-Spam (7.8.0+) limits the amount of messages and commands in a time frame dynamically!
• 5. PARROT ANTI-COPY (7.9.0+) prevents repeating messages from other players!

Rules (supplies anti-swear, anti-ad, etc...)
Create your own rules using regular expressions to deal with certain messages (or parts of them! Rules include almost 20 operators, including ignoring players or modifying messages. Use handlers to manage multiple rules and prevent repetitive code.

You Can Use Rules To

• Curse/swear word filtering. (Almost 50 curse words are blocked by default!)
• IP/URL advertisements blocking
• Filter spam, repetitive characters
• Block unicode / non-english messages
• Correct typo/slang
• Command aliases
• Utility commands/messages
• Fun message replacements
• Send commands to BungeeCords
• ...rules are entirely up to you, and the possibilities are endless!

TIP: Use inbuilt command to easily add new rules! See Commands section.
TIP2: Operators support regex capturing groups, allowing you to reuse parts of the caught message.

Standard Rules. Support chat, commands, signs, books and items edited on anvil.

Packet Rules: Catch and modify any plugin or server message. Rewrite or cancel them. Option to rewrite one message differently over multiple worlds.

Chat Ignorer: Let players choose which messages (caught be a rule) they want/do not want to see. This can be used for example to allow players decide if they will see swear words, and hide them for those who do not wish to see them. Please review the following article on the Wiki for more information.

• Create infinite amount of groups where players with specified permission will have different settings, e.g. join/quit/kick messages, chat/command delay, etc.

Warn & Point System
An excessive warning point system with actions to be executed when players reach certain amount of points. Includes a reset task which will subtract some points upon certain time (configurable). An option to repeat last action until the reset task gets scheduled and smart warnings to prevent multiple messages to be sent to the player.

Miscellaneous Features:
- Measure plugin's operations and print a warning if they take too long.

• Packet Rules. Catch and control every message, also from internal server messages (from Spigot) or any other plugin you have. (see Packet Rules)

Bonus 3: JavaScript Variables
It is impossible to hook into all plugins and fetch their properties, because there are thousands of different plugins out there. That is why I decided to create a new, unique variable system which allows you can create your own variables!

This is a exclusive feature in ChatControl, that allows you to get any variable from any other plugin or even server itself, such as player's ping (without NMS access) or other properties. You use JavaScript to fetch any variable to your likings, and, possibly, modify it.
There are example files shipped in the documentation, so it should be easy to learn from the examples.

• Lowercase accidentally misspelled second letter (example: TRee becomes Tree).
• Configurable message length.
