Hello all, I just joined and noticed right away how clogged the overworld chat is on here. I thought I might send a suggestion the server's way about a very nice plugin called HeroChat.
I noticed other have suggested things like local chat like in
this thread, but I wanted to actually direct you to this specific plugin.
HeroChat lets you create more than just a Local Channel and Overworld channel. It lets you customize it to have more channels and even password protected channels, like for Staff only. This also provides users with the ability to /ignore others they would rather not hear from as well as censorship of naughty words.
I have been using HeroChat on a regular basis on another server I frequent and love it. You have to tell people to change channels often, but it still works out very well
