Universal Chat Link Plugin FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I connect my server to Discord?
Run /config in-game to open the settings menu, then navigate to the messaging platform section and select Discord. You'll need to enter your bot token from the Discord Developer Portal, and the plugin will guide you through linking a specific channel where chat and alerts will sync.
What's the difference between the direct channel and EasyBot gateway?
The direct channel connects your server straight to Discord/Telegram/etc using your own bot credentials, while the EasyBot gateway is a hosted relay service that handles the connection for you. Choose direct if you want full control, or EasyBot if you prefer a simpler setup without managing bot tokens.
How do players apply for ranks?
Players type /apply in-game to submit a rank application, which sends their request to the messaging app group where staff are linked. Staff then use /review to see pending applications and approve or deny them, with the decision syncing back to the player in-game.
Can I use this plugin with LuckPerms?
Yes, the rank system is built to connect with LuckPerms, so promotions and rank changes made through the plugin automatically update player permissions and groups managed by LuckPerms.
How does the teleport bow work?
Shoot an arrow anywhere in the world, and you'll instantly teleport to where it lands; the plugin includes safety checks to prevent you from teleporting into blocks or dangerous locations. You can use it for quick travel across your world or between areas.
What happens when a player dies or joins the server?
Join, quit, kick, and death events are automatically sent to your linked messaging app group as alerts, so staff and community members stay informed of server activity in real-time.
How do I stop TNT explosions from destroying my base?
Use /config to enable blast protection, which restricts TNT placement in protected areas and groups explosion alerts into single messages sent to your messaging app instead of spamming individual notifications.
Can staff run server commands from Discord or Telegram?
Yes, staff members can type commands directly in the linked messaging app group chat, and they'll execute on the server as if run from console—this includes whitelist management and other admin tasks.
Does the plugin slow down my server?
The plugin is designed to be lightweight, but performance depends on how many messaging platforms you link and how frequently events occur; you can disable specific features like blast protection or world backups in /config if you need to optimize.
What security features does this plugin have?
The plugin includes GeoIP country checks to block players from certain regions, IP blacklists to prevent banned players from rejoining, and username blocklists to filter out unwanted names—all configurable through /config.
