OlaChat

# OlaChat **The Ultimate Cross-Server Chat & Messaging Solution for Modern Networks** OlaChat is a high-performance, developer-friendly chat management plugin designed from the ground up for modern Paper/Velocity proxy networks. Backed by **Redis** and **MariaDB**, it seamlessly synchronizes chat channels, private messages, ignores, and player settings across every server in your network—instantly. Built entirely on **MiniMessage**, OlaChat ditches outdated `&` color codes in favor of a powerful, modern formatting system (though it translates legacy codes for your older players!). ## ✨ Key Features * **🌐 True Cross-Server Networking (Redis)** Send private messages (`/msg`), toggle ignores, and chat in cross-server channels across your entire network. A player on Hub-1 can seamlessly DM a player on Survival-3 with zero delay. * **💾 Database Driven (MariaDB/MySQL)** Player settings (PM toggles, mention sound toggles, ignore lists) and full Chat Logs are saved to MariaDB and cached locally. * **🎨 MiniMessage & PlaceholderAPI** Full support for rich text gradients, hex colors, and PAPI placeholders. * **🖱️ Interactive Chat & Proximity Channels** Configure custom hover-text (like showing player pings) and click-commands when clicking a name in chat. Create `radius`-based local channels for RPG/Survival servers! * **📢 Rich Auto-Broadcaster** Schedule network-wide announcements that can be displayed as Chat messages, Action Bars, or massive Screen Titles! * **🔔 Player Mentions** Players can type `@Name` to highlight a player's name and play an alert sound. * **⌨️ Network-Wide Tab Completion** When typing `/msg`, players can press TAB to instantly auto-complete the names of friends who are online on entirely different servers! * **🕵️ Staff Network Spy** Provide your staff with `/spy` for private messages and `/commandspy` to monitor commands executed by players across the entire proxy network. * **🔌 Unrivaled Developer API** With over 15+ custom Async events, custom dynamic MiniMessage tags (like ``), and a cross-server RPC routing system, OlaChat is designed to be the backbone for your custom add-ons. ## 📦 Requirements * **Paper 1.20+** (Does not support Spigot/Bukkit) * **MariaDB / MySQL** database * **OlaVault** or **Vault** (OlaVault is highly recommended as the native API for fetching player prefixes/suffixes and groups) * **Redis** server (Required for cross-server features, but can be disabled for single-server setups) * **PlaceholderAPI** (Optional, but highly recommended) ## 🚀 Quick Setup 1. Drop `OlaChat.jar` into your `plugins` folder. 2. Configure your `database:` and `redis:` credentials in `config.yml`. 3. Restart your server. 4.
