UDFormats

UnitedFormats

A Bukkit/Spigot/Paper/Purpur Minecraft plugin that replaces default player join, quit, death, chat, and unknown command messages with configurable presets.

Features

• Replace default join, quit, death, and unknown command messages.
• Optional custom chat format.
• Multiple presets in config.yml.
• Per-world message overrides.
• blacklist-worlds option to leave specific worlds untouched.
• Reload configuration without restarting the server.
• Preview the active preset in-game.
• Compiles to Java 8 bytecode for broad Minecraft server compatibility.
• Uses the Bukkit/Spigot API, so it also supports Purpur.

Compatibility

UnitedFormats is designed for Bukkit-compatible server software such as Spigot, Paper, and Purpur. It avoids Paper-only APIs and does not set a fixed api-version, which helps it load on older servers too.

No plugin can honestly guarantee support for every Minecraft version forever, because server APIs and Java requirements change, but this project targets the widest practical compatibility range.

Commands

• /unitedformats reload reloads config.yml.
• /unitedformats presets lists configured presets.
• /unitedformats preset <name> changes the active preset and saves it.
• /unitedformats preview shows example messages from the active preset.

Aliases: /uf, /formats

Permission: unitedformats.admin

Placeholders

• {player} player username.
• {display_name} player display name.
• {world} current world name.
• {x}, {y}, {z} block coordinates.
• {message} chat message, only for chat.
• {killer} killer name for death messages, or unknown.
• {command} unknown command text without the first /.

Per-World Messages

Use worlds in config.yml to override messages for one world. The plugin checks the player's current world first, then falls back to the active preset.

blacklist-worlds:
  - disabled_world

worlds:
  world_nether:
    join:
      enabled: true
      message: "&4[Nether] &c{display_name} entered the heat"

Worlds listed in blacklist-worlds keep the server's default messages.
