Configuration

There are FOUR main configuration files that allow you to manage different aspects of the plugin:

  1. config.yml - Most plugin settings can be found here
  2. joinmessages.yml - Used to control join/quit messages
  3. chatcontrol.yml - Contains the chat rules, anti-spam, and mute/ignore settings
  4. messages.yml - Allows you to change, customise or translate EVERY message in the plugin

These files are all found in the Proxy plugins folder (This is the plugins folder in the same directory as your Bungeecord.jar or Waterfall.jar file). Simply navigate to /plugins/MultiChat/

There is also a config file for MultiChatSpigot/MultiChatSponge respectively. For spigot these are found in your usual plugins folder on that server: /plugins/MultiChatSpigot/spigotconfig.yml. For Sponge the file is found in the main root of your server where the sponge.jar file is located. It is titled multichatsponge.yml.

All these config files use the YAML format. This means you should take extra care when editing them! If you incorrectly add an extra space, or delete a single "quotation mark", then you could stop the entire plugin from working correctly. Also make sure that you DO NOT use tabs in the file. Only spaces work correctly with YAML. To be on the safe side, you can use an online resource like this one to check your YAML file for syntax errors.


Clicking the links below will take you to detailed guidance for each individual file:

You can load config changes in game by using /multichat reload (/multichatspigot reload for Spigot)

Next I recommend you take a look at the permissions
