Light Chat Bubbles

Table of Contents

(simply, the best)

Like other MMO's, Light Chat Bubbles plugin (formerly FloatingChat) buffers your messages and sticks them with text labels above your head for a while... it doesn't require any heavy libary and is extremely lightweight and fast

If you used to play other games with chat bubbles, find hard to know where your friends are talking from, feel annoyed of being watching world and chat window everytime, miss some important messages, or simply like chat bubbles but haven't find a light and good plugin, then this one is for you.

Follow this project to get update notifications.

Features:

- Feels vanilla, like if it were bundled with minecraft

- Extremely lightweight, little more than 100 lines of code, about 7kb total

- Lightning fast responsive due the same reason

- Simple, clean, beautiful and efficient at max

- Pure bukkit api, no nms, reflection, packets or dependencies, made solely with creativity

- Plug and play, just put it into your plugins folder, restart|reload your server and watch it work immediately

- Server side configurable

More info:

I just finished the plugin and i wanted to share with you, soon i will continue publishing the gpl'ed source code and shaping this page (done -> here) ... not known bugs yet, but note that currently is not possible to make per player configurations as entities are viewed by everyone in the server.

To install the plugin just copy/move the .jar to <craftbukkit folder>/plugins/ and restart/reload the server. To configure read and edit the generated configuration file and restart/reload the server again to apply.

¡Viva Chile!

Quote from owscrubclub >>

Is there any way this could work with Citizens? I would like my NPCs to have chat above their head too!

would be cool!, but i don't get any idea on how to do it ... however if somebody get interested in writing a plugin for this he/she could base on this

i am tired and looking for a collaborator, message me if anybody get interested

Nice plugin, but when someone write something, the text[bottom row] bugging into the name, and nobody can't read it. It should be up.

(I use NametagEdit plugin (NTE))

In reply to Forge_User_10223918:

hi.. thanks for your report

very weird.. the screenshot you see above (me) was taken without any previous concern... as you can see my name is hidden

when some entity (the player in this case) carry some other one (the invisible ones that holds the player dialog) the game hides his name automatically... it has to be that way, otherwise you will see the name of named horses when you mount them

maybe is due to some recent server bug, maybe some other plugin is involved.... had you tried to isolate the problem?, do it and open a github issue posting your findings, beause your current report is very vague and insufficient to reproduce the issue

help me and i will help you ;)

Probably indicates that it doesn't support 1.13 :/
