VIP ChatControl Red - Format & Filter Chat v10.27.9

Six Layered Anti-Spam Destroys Spam 7 Days A Week

We have the most sophisticated anti-spam protection you ever find in a chat plugin. One that's ridiculously simple to set up, yet unbelievably hard to bypass.

1. Prevent sending too fast messages/commands.
2. Block similar messages/commands.
3. Block repetitive messages such as "t", "hello", "t", "hello" etc.
4. Time frame limit to cap maximum amount of messages in the last X seconds.
5. Adaptive warning points to punish spamming depending on its severity.
6. Code your own rules (without Java knowledge) to filter all sorts of spam (such as "heeeello" or "he..llo") and any words such as "this server is ****".

In addition, our anti-spam works anywhere, even outside your server:

• DiscordSRV is supported! Prevent spam, swears and ads on your Discord channels automatically!!
• Non-English servers are supported. We even automatically remove accents (áäô) to prevent bypassing checks. Even Russian, Japanese, Chinese etc. will work with anti-spam.
• Whitelist and blacklists. Every section can have exceptions and you can turn them into both a whitelist and a blacklist.

Chat Channels And Beautiful Chat Formatter

Completely customize every aspect of your chat. Change how every message looks like. Display different parts in messages for different players, and give your server a completely new look.

• Create chat rooms to isolate your chat(e.g. "admin" channel, "bungee" channel, "trade" channel)
  • FULL BungeeCord and DiscordSRV support.
• 2-modes of ranged chat are supported:
  • Talk to players in a distance around you, or
  • Talk to all players on your world (you can link multiple worlds together).
• Interactive formats so you can show tooltips, click on text, run commands or even open books. JSON support included.
• 1000s of variables are supported. You can pick from our own ones, install PlaceholderAPI, or code new ones directly within ChatControl — even if you barely know how to code!
• Start your message with a special character to send it to another channel such as "?help" or "!" to send it to global chat (with the help of rules).
• Simple conditions to build phenomenal chat formats that show different parts — if player is chatting from Discord, from BungeeCord, if he's vanished, spying, or when sending message from console!
• Admin chat and bungee global chat and many more default examples of channels!

And also cool bonus features, such as:

• Gradients support for MC 1.16+:
  
  
• Let players use variables in chat: "I hold an [item]"
  
  
• Remove any chat message with a simple click on the [X] prefix - works for BungeeCord and Discord, too! (You can also remove ALL messages from a player, even after he disconnected!)
  
  
• Automatically join players into channels.

Insanely Powerful Rules

• Replace 20+ other plugins you use with ONE that's way more powerful, customizable and ridiculously simple using powerful regular expressions!
• Filter curse/swear words, with TON of default words blocked by default

ChatControl comes with over 50 ready-made curse words and an extremely powerful ad blocking rules already setup!


Rules can change any message on your server, even those from another plugins:


You can even create your own commands and forward existing commands into new aliases:


You can even design your entire help system using rules and prevent players contacting you:




Rules can also be used to create emojis or any special characters you desire

Use rules anywhere:

• Standard rules: Rules work on chat, commands, books, anvil and signs.
• Packet rules: You can also edit messages from any other plugin or the server itself using packet rules!
• Nicks rules: Rules can also filter player tags to prevent setting abusive nicks/prefixes/suffixes.
