ChatPings - A Minecraft Server Plugin!

ChatPings is a plugin that allows you to ping other players like you do in Discord.​

This plugin can be customized from the ping color and sound to it's sound's volume and pitch!

This plugin allows you to ping players using three different ping types:

• @Player (Pings the certain player via username or EssentialsX nickname)

• @everyone (Pings everyone who's on the server) [This requires a permission node]

• @someone (Pings a random player that's currently online (even yourself if this option is enabled))

Each ping also plays a sound that you can change in the config.yml, as well as pitch and volume of the sound!

There are commands that can be used by everybody and some that are admin only.

Admin Commands:

• /pingreload: Reloads the config.yml and the lang.yml so they use the new settings you've set.
• /pingprefix: Changes the prefix you used for pings.
• /pinginfo: Shows information about ChatPings.
• /pingresetcooldown : Resets the cooldown time for the player.

Player Commands:

• /pinghelp: Shows a list of commands of this plugin.
• /pingtoggle: "Mutes pings" by not playing the sound.*

*Players who have the permission node "chatpings.bypass" can bypass the player's ping mute, therefore you'll hear their ping sounds.

Admin Permissions:

• chatpings.admin Permission node for /pingreload, viewing admin commands in /pinghelp and to ping everyone. (Default OP)
• chatpings.bypass Permission node to bypass the ping mutes of players (Default OP)

Player Permissions:

• chatpings.help Permission node for /pinghelp. (Default TRUE)
• chatpings.toggle Permission node for /pingtoggle. (Default TRUE)
• chatpings.player Permission node to ping another player. (Default TRUE)
• chatpings.someone Permission node to ping another player. (Default TRUE)

Ping Pop-Up is a brand new feature in ChatPings that shows who pinged you through for example a title, actionbar or bossbar.

Here are the different types you can choose:

• title (Shows the text in the middle of the screen)
• subtitle (Same as the title, but in smaller)
• actionbar (Shows the text above the hotbar)
• boss* (Shows the text in a bossbar with the healthbar being a countdown until it disappears)
• everything (This option does not require an explaination, does it?)
• none (Basically does not show any Pop-Up at all)

Apart from that you can also choose how long these pop-ups shall stay on the screen.

*The Bossbar Pop-Up only works for version 1.19+!
