About this project
What does ChatGuard add?
Stops chat spam on your Hytale server: a cooldown between messages, a limit on repeated messages, a caps filter and optional link blocking. Server-side only; players need nothing installed.
Features
- Cooldown: minimum time between a player's messages (default 1.5 s), with a polite "slow down" notice.
- Repeat filter: blocks the same message sent again and again (default: 2 in a row).
- Caps filter: messages that are mostly capitals are lowercased (or blocked, your choice).
- Link blocking: URLs and bare domains are removed from chat (default on).
- Length cap: messages are trimmed to 256 characters.
- Bypass: anyone with the
chatguard.bypasspermission is never filtered.
Settings
chatguard.properties in the mod's data directory (created on first start): cooldownMillis (1500), maxRepeats (2), capsMinLength (12), capsMaxRatio (0.7), capsAction (lowercase or block), blockLinks (true), maxLength (256), bypassPermission, warnColor.
Install
Drop the jar into the server's mods/ folder and restart.
