FlectonePulse

What Is FlectonePulse?

FlectonePulse is a plugin and mod for Minecraft (and Hytale) servers that takes full control over chat, messages, and notifications. You decide what players see, when they see it, and how it looks. Clean defaults for beginners, deep configuration for everyone else

FlectonePulse was the subject of a university thesis and received top marks for its architecture, technical depth, and practical value. The full thesis, presentation, and plagiarism report are publicly available

🎨 Color Formatting

FlectonePulse understands every color system and converts them all to MiniMessage internally. Mix legacy codes and modern tags in the same line, it works

Input	Result
&0-&9, &a-&f	<black>, <dark_blue>, ..., <white>
&l / &m / &n / &o / &k / &r	<b> / <st> / <u> / <i> / <obf> / <reset>
&#rrggbb, #rrggbb	<#rrggbb>
MiniMessage	<gradient>, <hover:...>, <click:...>, etc.

join:
  format: "<gradient:#FF0000:#00FF00>&lПривет</gradient> <rainbow><player></rainbow>!"

🧱 Textures in Chat – No Resource Pack Needed

Embed custom images directly into chat messages and the server MOTD with <texture:name>

Player skin avatars with <player_head>, Minecraft built-in sprites with <sprite:name>

🌍 Per-Player Language Detection

Enable by_player: true and every message is delivered in the player's own client language. If a translation is missing, the server default is used as fallback

💬 Multi-Channel Chat System

Multiple named chat channels with independent settings. Each channel has its own range, destination, cooldown, sound, trigger

Send any formatted message to any destination with admin command /emit. You can use destination CHAT ACTION_BAR BOSS_BAR TITLE SUBTITLE TOAST TAB_HEADER TAB_FOOTER BRAND

🌈 Per-Player Customization

Players open a full in-game menu /chatsetting to toggle messages, change colors, and disable whatever they don't want
