FactionsChat

A Chat Channel addon for the Legendary Minecraft Server Factions Plugin
What is FactionsChat?

FactionsChat is a Minecraft plugin written in Java for Spigot/Paper servers. It is an optional addon plugin for Factions3 Renewed.

If you're unfamiliar with the concept of Factions, it allows players to join groups (i.e. "factions") and claim land for their group to build a base. It is an anti-griefing system that promotes diplomacy and war, and allows faction leaders to control who can do what in their faction land. Factions can declare wars and forge alliances with other factions, while fighting over land.

This addon plugin allows players to chat within their faction and not be heard by other players, or to chat with faction allies, and more!

This plugin has several configuration options and permissions that it supports. See the Configuration/Permissions tab for more info.

The code for this plugin is open-source and can be found on GitHub. Releases and the Wiki are also found there. If you find bugs, please file an issue on the Issues page there.
