Commands
ChatControl has a ridiculous command offering. Everything you need to know about commands is shown in the game using feature-rich interactive system. Just use your mouse and hover over commands to get more information.
To use commands, simply execute them in your console or the in-game chat. Many commands support additional parameters, see below.
- [] = optional arguments (use only one at once, or one + reason when muting or clearing the chat)
- <> = required arguments
TIP: The short variant for /chatcontrol is /chc and /ch for /channel You can change those commands in settings.yml by finding Command_Aliases keys.
Type /chc perms to view all available command permissions.
You can also view the required permission directly in the error message when you attempt to execute a command you don't have access to.
To see more on how commands works and how it can be used, simply hover your mouse over it and additional information will follow. On Minecraft <1.7.10, these information are printed directly in the chat.
Send any message to everyone on your server, BungeeCord or Redis network. You can send a chat message, title, boss bar, action bar, toast or even json.
Create a custom book. You can then read this book by yourself or for other players, using this command, or in chat formatting such as: "Click [here] to read server rules." or in Rules.
Clear the game chat. You can specify the parameters -a for anonymous clearance (hides who cleared it) or -s to avoid announcing anything. BungeeCord is supported. You can also give a clear reason.

Manipulate player warning points. Players can receive punishment points for doing certain things such as spamming or cursing (configurable). We execute certain actions such as mute/kick when they exceed a certain amount of points. Points can be grouped into sets such as "light-swears", "hard-swears", "spam" etc.
Remove all messages from a player, even if he disconnected after writing them. BungeeCord is supported.
Place 3D regions in the world you can then use in rules using the "require region" or "ignore region" operators, see Rules. For example, you can make stricter antispam in your spawn area. Or you can write a rule that completely prevents writing something in your PvP arenas.
Reloads the plugin and its configuration. Some things by their nature, such as listener priorities, console filtering etc. cannot be reloaded. PlugMan is unsupported and may break. Please only use /chc reload and restart as soon as possible.
Add, import, list, reload or toggle chat filters. A filter, called a rule, is a simple way to catch ANYTHING in your chat, commands, signs, items, books or even server packets and execute actions on it. Such as by typing "apple" player receives a warning. This is used against spam, swears, ads, also to stop bots, or even creating entire help systems, chat bots or new plugin commands (like Skript). See Rules.
Execute a JavaScript script in game. You can use the "player" variable to get the Bukkit player instance. This makes getting NMS stuff easy without having to import the X_R1 packages such as you can type: "player.getHandle().ping" and we will return ping from the NMS class EntityPlayer!
