AwesomeChat

---

The all-in-one chat management plugin for Paper servers.

Please note, if you use 26.x, you will need to use Java 25.

Why AwesomeChat?

Most servers need 3–5 separate plugins to handle chat formatting, filtering, private messaging, and moderation.
AwesomeChat replaces them all with one lightweight, well-integrated solution.

• Zero bloat – Every feature is toggleable
• Deep LuckPerms integration – Per-group everything
• Adventure API native – Full MiniMessage and hex color support
• Actively maintained for 1.19+
