About this project
What does ProximityText add?
Introducing ProximityText! **When a player sends a message in chat, only players in a configurable distance will see it.**The mod also gives the option to send a global message, which will be sent to everyone, even players in a further distance
To send a local message -> Chat as normal
To send a global message -> Prefix your message with "!"
Example:
"Hello" -> Local message
"**!**Hello" -> Global message
Global messages will be in bold, to distinguish them from local messages
Commands (All require permission level 4):
/proximitytext distance <number> -> Sets the maximum distance between players for a local message to be viewed
/proximitytext distance -> Shows the current set distance
