Simple light-weight plugin for formatting and processing chat messages sent by players. Decent Chat allows you to modify the traditional <player> message format to whatever you want, for instance player: message or even player » message, as seen on some popular servers.
Decent Chat also supports coloring your own name using the /color command, you can even set your name to a gradient!
On top of that, there are also various activity adjustments that can be done. Such as changing the join/leave message and notifying the rest of the server when someone sleeps, aswell as announcing when someone goes to the nether/the end!
Last off, Decent Chat includes built-in emoji support, allowing text-based symbols to be transformed into anything you want. All which can be modified/disabled in the config.yml file.
The goal of Decent Chat is to stay light weight, which makes it a great addition to any server with an active chat, such as a Survival Multiplayer server!
