ClientChat Plugin is the server-side component of the ClientChat ecosystem.
It works alongside the ClientChat client mod to provide advanced communication features that are not possible through vanilla Minecraft chat alone.
The plugin manages player sessions, chat routing, room permissions, invitations, and synchronization between connected clients.
Without the ClientChat mod installed on the player's client, most ClientChat features are unavailable.
The plugin does not replace Minecraft's default chat system. Instead, it adds a separate communication layer that operates alongside normal server chat.
Allows ClientChat users connected to the server to communicate through a dedicated chat channel.
Create invite-only chat rooms for groups of players.
Send private messages between players.
Invitation-based room access controlled by the server.
The plugin manages message delivery between all connected ClientChat users.
All features are accessible through the /chat command.
