Compatibility

ChatControl Pro is developed with stability and performance in mind. It has since 2013 has been optimized to run as efficiently and flawlessly as possible. I aim to provide compatibility for as many systems as possible, while keeping the plugin clean and easy to maintain.

Plugins

You may install the following plugins alongside with ChatControl. ChatControl automatically detects them on server launch, and will offer extra features available from them.

When updating ChatControl, please also check if your dependencies are up-to-date. I do my best to make sure ChatControl runs fine, but I can't control other plugins if they are bugged.

• AuthMe for {country_name} and {country_code} variables in chat formatter and join/kick/quit messages.
• BungeeControlBridge for bungee integration.
• DiscordSRV for Discord integration.
• Essentials or EssentialsX for detecting AFK players and {nick} variable.
• Factions MCore, FactionsUUID, FactionsOne and LegacyFactions for {faction} placeholder. Use PlaceholderAPI for more placeholders. PS: If you are experiencing issues with chat formatter or checker, set Listener_Priority.Checker to LOWEST in settings.yml.
• Feudal for feudal party chat in chat channels.
• MVdWPlaceholderAPI for third party placeholders. There is no warranty on their functionality.
• Multiverse-Core for colored world alias in chat formatter.
• Nametags for players' prefixes (with {nametags_prefix}) and suffixes (with {nametags_suffix}).
• Nicky for getting the player's {nick}
• PlaceholderAPI for third party placeholders. There is no warranty on their functionality.
• ProtocolLib for packet rules (see rules/packet.txt) and preventing tab complete.
• SimpleClans for {clan} and the following variables in chat formatter.
• Towny for {nation} and {town} variables in chat formatter.
• Vault to use players' prefixes and suffixes in chat formatter, and taking money with "then fine" operator in rules.

Editor's Choice

• Confiscate Okay, I try not to self-propagate, but it is a great addition that will cover areas ChatControl is not designed for and increase safety on your server.
• NoCheatPlus (not a dependency, but recommended), provides advanced support also against many types of chat spam.

Variants of Bukkit

There are many variants of Bukkit which all do slightly different things that sometimes may be unexpected. Please view the list below to see if your version is compatible.

• Spigot (all versions listed below). Supported, tested.
• PaperSpigot (all versions listed below). Supported, tested.
• Craftbukkit (all versions listed below). Works. Not recommended for 1.7.10 and above.
• Thermos 1.7.10. BROKEN! Unfortunately, Thermos replaces some fundamental parts of the Minecraft server and libraries we use, so ChatControl cannot function.
• (K)Cauldron 1.7.10. May or may not work. SpecialSources and BungeeChatAPI are required. Cauldron replaces many library we use and it is very outdated, if it breaks, there is nothing we can do about it.
• Other derivates (on a compatible Minecraft version). ChatControl access minimum server's internals and has several safety mechanisms to prevent data loss. It should work, but we recommend you watch your server logs thoroughly for a few days, just to make ensure no issues are raised.

Java Version

Java 8 or newer version is required to run the plugin correctly.

Minecraft Version

You can run ChatControl Pro on the following Minecraft versions. Please note that the x stands for any sub-version, for example 1.11.0 or 1.11.2.

Many issues are often caused not by incompatible Minecraft version, but by incompatible ProtocolLib or other plugin ChatControl utilizes. To avoid trouble later, make sure all dependencies are running correctly.
