NEW! Gradient Support:
You can now use gradients in various elements: prefixes, nickname colors, message colors, additional tag colors (plugins: Clans/XLevel/XPrison, etc.)
How to use a gradient in the configuration?
Let’s go through an example of setting colors for a nickname:

"List and customization of colors for a nickname": [
  {
     "Permission": "iqchat.default",
     "Argument": "#FF0000, #FF3300, #FF6600, #FF9900, #FFCC00, #FFFF00, #CCFF00, #99FF00, #66FF00, #33FF00",
     "Block the player's ability to select this parameter in the plugin menu (true - yes/false - no)": false
  },
],

This works similarly for message colors and other settings where HEX is specified as the “Argument”.
Example with setting a prefix: you simply assign each letter its own color to create a gradient.

"List of prefixes and their settings": [ 
  { 
     "Permission": "iqchat.vip", 
     "Argument": "<color=#FF0000>[<color=#FF3300>V<color=#FF6600>I<color=#FF9900>P<color=#FFCC00>]</color></color></color></color></color>", 
     "Block the player's ability to select this parameter in the plugin menu (true - yes/false - no)": false 
  }, 
]

Multilingualism to the Max!

Chat is a vital part of the gaming experience, allowing players to communicate, exchange messages, or gather in groups. However, there are players who don’t communicate in the primary language of your server’s audience. My plugin addresses this issue!

With IQChat, your players can communicate in the language they know. All messages will be translated and delivered to other players in their language! This will unlock even more potential for your server, and the chat will come alive with new colors and greater activity!
(To achieve this, an additional plugin – TranslationAPI – will be required.)

Examples of how players will see messages depending on their selected game language.

The plugin has built-in automatic chat messages, an autoresponder, notifications for player logins and logouts—all of which support multiple languages.
You can customize the messages and their translations in the plugin configuration!

Player Customization:

Players can set and modify their prefixes, nickname colors, and message colors based on privileges.
Additionally, there is automatic support for clan plugins, which will display the clan tag in the chat.
All of this can be configured and customized as desired through the configuration settings.
The plugin also supports ranks from the IQRankSystem
Allowing you to adjust message, nickname, and default prefix sizes for non-privileged players, providing complete control over the chat appearance!

Modern Neutral UI Design:

The entire UI design is crafted in a neutral style, allowing it to seamlessly integrate with your other plugins. Despite its neutrality, the UI design is well-equipped and stands out perfectly.
You have the flexibility to replace images and customize the UI according to your preferences. I provide all image files along with the plugin, giving you the freedom to tailor the UI to your liking!

Mute System – Chat or Voice Blocking:

The plugin comes with both manual and automatic chat blocking systems.
You and your moderators can track offenders and block their chat or voice using the UI interface or commands!

The built-in automatic blocking is configurable in the settings, freeing you from frequent disruptions. You just need to specify the “ban word,” and the plugin will promptly respond, issuing a chat mute to the offender for the time and reason you set!

Automatic Mute for “Ban Word”

Anti-Spam System:

Built-in anti-spam protection for players that you can configure to your liking.
There are two types of protection: sending messages N times per second and automatic mute for repeated messages.

Unwanted Text Controller:

The plugin includes a built-in nickname controller that allows you to remove unwanted text or links from your players’ nicknames.
Built-in chat message controller that allows you to remove or hide unwanted text or advertisements.
The plugin also includes the ability to hide messages about the server administrator giving or taking items through the F1 in-game menu.

Automatic Messages:

The plugin is equipped with a comprehensive system of automatic messages for players!
You can configure multilingual messages with your advertisements or server information at specified intervals. Messages can be sent either randomly or sequentially!

Notification upon joining the server.
You can configure messages that will be sent to the player after joining the server. This way, you can inform them about something or announce a new feature.
Player join/leave notifications.
Upon connection, you have the option to display in the chat that a player has joined the server, with support for showing their country.
When a player leaves, you can display the reason for their exit.

Server Assistant.
The plugin is equipped with an autoresponder that sends a text notification with information to the player if they use a specific keyword.

Autoresponder Example:

Private Messaging System:

Players can communicate with each other and have private conversations. The plugin has built-in support for player messages using the /pm and /r commands. A player can ignore another unwanted player, and they will no longer see private messages from them.

Logging:

Extensive logging capabilities that can be enabled separately.
All logs are sent via WebHooks to your Discord channel.

Supported Plugins:

At the moment, the plugin already has a large base of supported plugins that work together!
Supported plugins include the entire IQ plugin branch, XLevels, Clans, TranslationAPI, XPrison, Friends, and many others.
This allows you to create a unified style of messages and notifications on your server.
If you are a developer and want to integrate your plugin with mine, check the API tab.

Message from Mercury:

I want to say that in 2019, when I released this plugin, those who use it or have just seen it and appreciated my work, suggested improvements, and simply shared their thoughts—most of it has been implemented.
The plugin has undergone a total of 75 updates, including 3 major updates with a complete overhaul of UI and features.
This entire journey has transformed the plugin from a simple chat plugin into a massive system that allows you to customize everything, giving you complete control over what happens in the chat on your server!

Thanks to everyone who contributed and continues to contribute their ideas to improve the plugin! I look forward to hearing your new ideas for future updates!
