1.10 (BETA)

  • Added options to change aliases of all commands
  • Command aliases moved to dedicated config file aliases.yml
  • Added local spy for staff members to see local chats of other servers
  • Local spy can now be customised in the config.yml file

    • Announcements and Bulletins
    • Join messages

    • Injection with the ">>>" operator allows the formatting from one chat component to be injected into another.
    • This allows for injection of hover events into placeholders when displaying them.

    • Shorthand Alternative: &xffffff
  • Added new permission nodes for chat colours:
