Chat & Messaging

These settings help keep chat clear while you're recording. You can mute normal chat, change join and leave messages, or stop players using specific commands.

Clearing chat (/clearchat)

/clearchat        # everyone's
/clearchatself    # just yours

chat:
  enable-clear-chat: true
  show-clear-message: true
  clear-message: "&7Chat has been cleared by an administrator."
  clear-lines: 100

show-clear-message: false does it quietly.

Muting chat (/chatmute)

/chatmute <on|off>

Alias /mutechat. Blocks chat for non-ops and announces it. Written to config.yml as chat.muted, so it survives restarts.

While muted, /me is blocked for everyone and private messages for non-ops.

Broadcast (/broadcast)

/broadcast <message>

Alias /bc. To everyone, & colours work.

Join and leave messages

/togglejoinmessages <on|off>
/togglequitmessages <on|off>

join-messages:
  enabled: true
  format: "&e%player% joined the game"

leave-messages:
  enabled: true
  format: "&e%player% left the game"

%player% is the only placeholder.

You can also limit real join and leave messages to nearby players:

/joinmsgradius 50
/leavemsgradius 50

Use 0 to remove the radius limit. /quitmsgradius is an alias for /leavemsgradius. These commands require scriptedessentials.admin.

Fake join and leave (Premium)

/fakejoin <player>
/fakeleave <player>

A join or leave for something that didn't happen. Same format as the real ones, so you can't tell them apart.

Private messages (/disablemsg)

/disablemsg <player>

Blocks /msg, /tell, /w and /whisper to that player, minecraft: and bukkit: versions included. Run it again to undo.

Command feedback (/commandfeedback)

/commandfeedback [on|off]

Aliases /cmdfeedback, /cf. Flips the sendCommandFeedback gamerule in every loaded world at once. This controls vanilla command feedback; it doesn't silence every message sent by every plugin.

On top of that, feedback from common admin commands is hidden from other players automatically. Gamemode, nick, skin, halfheart, invis, warp, kit and worldtp all get filtered, so using them mid-take doesn't spam everyone.

During a recording session, admin broadcasts about teleports, gamemode, giving items, time, weather and op changes are dropped too.

Command blocker (/cb)

/cb <on|off>
/cb add <command>
/cb remove <command>
/cb list
/cb reload

Alias /commandblocker. Blocks specific commands for non-ops. /tp, /gamemode, anything the cast shouldn't be touching mid-take.

Sign and book filtering

Signs and books get checked against the same word list as nicknames. Someone writes a blocked word on a sign, ops get told who, what and where, with a sound.

Alert on every sign (/signalerts) (Premium)

/signalerts <on|off>

That's an alert on every sign placed or edited, with the text and coordinates, not just ones with a blocked word. Catches things before they end up in a shot.

Action bar

messages:
  use-action-bar: true

Short confirmations on the action bar instead of in chat. Keeps chat clean when you're running a lot of commands.
