ChatCat is a chat plugin designed to be easily configurable and compatible with Vault and PlaceholderAPI. It provides functionality like permanent and temporary mutes with an intelligent caching system and ISO-compatible timespan notation, along with simple yet powerful modular chat prefixing. ChatCat supports Spigot/Paper 1.16.3 on Java 11.
ChatCat's messages are completely configurable - there does not exist a plugin message you can't customise in the config.yml file.
- Download ChatCat from SpigotMC or build it yourself
- Move/upload the downloaded .jar to your server's
pluginsfolder - Restart your server
/mute - Mutes a player. Permission: chatcat.mutes.mute

[-s] - Makes the mute a soft mute. A soft-muted player sees their own messages, but nobody else can see them. Short for 'soft'
<player> - The player to be muted.
<duration> - The duration of the mute. Examples for valid durations are 'forever', 'eternity', 'P3dT10h' (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601)
[reason] - The reason for the mute.
/unmute - Unmutes a muted player. Permission: chatcat.mutes.unmute
[-h] - Doesn't broadcast the unmute. Short for 'hidden'
<player> - The player to be unmuted.
/chatcat [reload] - Shows help message or reloads ChatCat. Permission: chatcat.admin

- chatcat.mutes.unmute - Allows unmuting of players.

ChatCat ships with a configuration file located in plugins/ChatCat/config.yml. This file allows customisation of the chat format, logging level, and messages of ChatCat.`
Here is an example config.yml file with comments.
