Source Code | Wiki | SupportJadedChat is a feature-rich JSON chat plugin for Paper servers running Minecraft 1.8 or later. It allows you to fully customize your chat easily using the MiniMessage format and PlaceholderAPI. It also contains an API to allow developers to have better control over chat without interfering with other plugins. It can be as simple or complicated as you desire, doing everything from just simple chat formatting to large multi-channel systems with regex chat filtering and BungeeCord support.
⚠️ This plugin is in early development. The API is likely to change between now and a full release.
