Introduction
zArrowChat is a Paper and Folia public chat plugin with formatting, a word filter, mentions, and in-chat share previews.
zArrowChat handles public chat on Paper and Folia servers. It formats every message with MiniMessage, filters unwanted words, notifies players when they are mentioned, and lets players share a read-only preview of their inventory, ender chest, shulker, held item, or armor right in chat.
It was previously xChat by Sczrs. It is now zArrowChat by zArrowTan. The old command names are kept as aliases, so nothing breaks when you switch.
