InteractiveChat

Chat in Minecraft is a great way for players to communicate with each other. But what if we could make it even more interactive? With this plugin, you'll be able to showcase items in hand, inventory contents, and ender chest contents right in the chat! And all this works even between servers in your global BungeeCord chat!

The plugin also allows you to create your own interactive keywords that players can use in chat.

Important: InteractiveChat is designed to work on top of your existing chat formatting plugins, not as a replacement!

Main Features

1. Item and Inventory Display

• Type [item] in chat to show the item in your hand
• Use [inv] to display your inventory contents
• Enter [ender] — and show everyone your ender chest!

Each of these functions can be disabled in settings, and you can also change the keywords used.

2. Custom Interactive Keywords

Create any placeholders and replace keywords in chat with them. Add hover messages and click actions — or both at the same time! Multi-line text in hover messages is supported.

3. Interactive Player Names

Replace all player names in chat with interactive content featuring hover messages and click actions. Works with nicknames from Essentials and other plugins through the API.

4. Player Mentions

When someone is mentioned in chat, the player receives a notification with sound and message. You can configure notification display through Title, SubTitle, ActionBar, BossBar, or Toast (if the Minecraft version supports it).

5. BungeeCord and Velocity Support

All features work across your entire server network! Install the plugin on Spigot and BungeeCord/Velocity, enable the corresponding option in settings — and placeholders, mentions, and other features will work between servers.

6. RGB Colors and Custom Fonts

Use RGB codes in any part of the configuration where colors are supported — even in chat itself!

&x&f&f&f&f&f&f

or

[color=#123456]

If you have a custom resource pack with different fonts, you can use them like color codes:

[font=uniform]

7. Multi-language Support

All messages can be customized for your server. Item material names are automatically translated to each player's client language.

The plugin modifies messages at the packet level, so it should work on top of other chat plugins.
