ChatLock

When your server chat hits peak chaos, every second counts. ChatLock is a lightweight, zero-bloat administration utility that gives your staff team absolute control over the chat stream during bot attacks, arguments, or raid attempts.

🛠️ Features

• Instant Toggle: One single command (/chatlock) freezes or unfreezes global server chat instantly.
• Immersive Visual Popups: When the chat state changes, an elegant screen title and subtitle alert pops up for every single online player to grab their attention instantly.
• Smart Permission Bypass: Staff members with the admin permission node bypass the lock automatically, letting them coordinate cleanup efforts right in public chat.
• Strict Error Reinforcement: Keeps chat entirely clean. When a muted player tries to type, their text is intercepted and replaced with a clean, un-intrusive warning.
• Zero Performance Impact: Listens to modern asynchronous chat events without interrupting main server ticks.
