CraftIRC3 is a highly customizable and flexible plugin which links Minecraft chat and events to Internet Relay Chat (IRC), allowing players to interact with users in local or more broad community channels. Throughout CraftIRC's history, the plugin has been used to link multiple Minecraft servers' chats together, allow administrators to use in-game and console commands and keep commerce, roleplaying, and community spirit alive.
Linking IRC to Minecraft with CraftIRC allows players/administrators to interact with the server using any Internet-connected device, making keeping in touch or administrating an absolute breeze.
The latest release works with any bukkit version since 1.2.5, including 1.7.4.
Also reported to work with other non-bukkit things that look like bukkits.
