Chat to Notifications 1.3.2

[NOTICE FOR LINUX SERVERS] This plugin requires libgdiplus. Download it here.

Filter chat messages by keywords and convert them into notifications. You can configure which messages to exclude from chat and display as notifications instead, all through the config file.

Use Cases

• Reduce chat spam caused by plugins by moving unnecessary messages from chat to the notification area, allowing players to communicate more effectively.
• Preserve important messages from event plugins, ensuring players can refer back to essential event details that would otherwise be lost in chat. They can review missed messages anytime by typing /n.
• Highlight your broadcasted messages to players when you use the 'global.say' command.
• Improve communication on PVE servers by filtering monument callouts (e.g., @bradley, @trainyard, etc.), keeping chat cleaner while still providing key information.

Chat Commands

/n - (Shows list of recently appeared notifications - can be changed in config)
/n disable - (Disables notifications for player)
/n enable - (Enables back notifications for player)
