What are you looking for in a chat plugin?
For free ones,
EssentialsChat is "ok" Its not bad, but is limited.
LPC is similar to essentialschat, but with slightly more features, (ie. papi support).
If you're looking for a more fancy and modern one, theres Carbon, (not as popular, but good reputation). It has channels, supports cross-server chat
ChatControlRed is also pretty popular, but does cost money. (and can even cost more money if u want some fancy filters). I personally, never used it, as the free ones do the job
alonsochat is good for me
Can vouch for Carbon. It has lots of things to play with and has support for Minimessage and PAPI too. And their support is pretty responsive which is lacking in other chat plugins.
Is it this one anf if it is is it only on modrinth and paper: https://modrinth.com/plugin/carbon

Carbon - Minecraft Plugin
Carbon is a modern chat plugin built on channels, with just about every single setting and format configurable.
yeah thats the one
Ok
And do you know what to do to migrate essentialschat to carbon or lpc. Just delete essetialschat and drop the other one? Do i need to do anythink more?
do you currently have essentialschat?
yes
what do u not like about it thats causing you to look elsewhere?
oh so u want placeholders
Yes
then yeah, dont use chatinjector and use LPC
just delete the essentialschat jar, and put the LPC jar in
That it right? andlpc or carbon
depends on u want
if u dont need the features of carbon, dont use it
I want long term stable graet chat plugin
that i can migrate easyly
migrating isnt really a thing for chat plugins...
its jsut chat.
unless u have a million different groups
with a millino different options
No
just use LPC unless u need the features of carbon
Ok thanks
I just need to delete it and drop lpc in that it rigy
and it supports 1.21 right
because it says last 1.20

LPC Minimessage - Chat Formatter - Minecraft Plugin
A chat formatting with Minimessage Support plugin for LuckPerms.
this is the updated version
you'll also need to go into the config and update to whatever settings you want on how to format ur chat
Are they not updating on spigot
spigot site is ass and dying
lots of people are no longer updating on it
Are you sure this is the real one because on spigot its name is "LPC - Chat Formatter" and on modrinth "LPC Minimessage - Chat Formatter"
the old one is the legacy version, that was is no longer being maintained. It still works, and works great. But the newer one fully supports minimessage formatting, and is being maintained to make sure it works on newer versions
So the one you send is safe and known and supported
yes, modrinths website is just as safe as spgiots
and the source is fully available
its an open sourced plugin
if you're worried about security, you can compile the plugin yourself from their github
you'll come to love modrinths site. you can actually search for plugins on it. it has great filters and its super fast
This lpc plugin is a complete plugin right not an addon for the legacy lpc
modrinth answers it for you. it only requires luckperms.
Also if u read the description of the page do u see ANYWHERE saying its an addon?
I dont need to baby u thru this
Ok thanks
