It replaces the traditional global chat model with a localized proximity system, supplemented by specialized channels and deep NBT-based interactivity.<\/p>\n<p>## Core Features<\/p>\n<p>### Immersive Proximity &#038; Bubbles<\/p>\n<p>By default, player communication is limited to a configurable radius, reducing global noise and encouraging organic interaction.<\/p>\n<p>* **3D Chat Bubbles:** Messages are rendered as `TextDisplay` entities above the speaker&#8217;s head.<br \/>\n* **Intelligent Tracking:** Bubbles follow player movement in real-time and automatically clean up upon logout.<br \/>\n* **Spatial Logic:** Includes a &#8220;no listeners&#8221; notification if you speak and no one is within range to hear you.<\/p>\n<p>### Deep Interactivity<\/p>\n<p>SmartChat utilizes the Adventure API to provide a rich, hover-sensitive interface without the use of clunky legacy formatting.<\/p>\n<p>* **NBT Item Linking:** Use the `[item]` tag to share your gear. Hovering reveals full enchantments, lore, and NBT data.<br \/>\n* **Player Stat Cards:** Hovering over a username or `@mention` displays real-time health, ping, and total playtime.<br \/>\n* **Secure URL Links:** Links are identified and formatted with custom aqua styling and security-conscious hover warnings.<\/p>\n<p>### Advanced Social Framework<\/p>\n<p>* **Invite-Only Parties:** A formal invite\/accept\/deny workflow prevents unsolicited group additions.<br \/>\n* **Persistence:** SQLite-backed ignore lists and mail ensure that social preferences and messages survive server restarts.<br \/>\n* **Offline Mail:** Direct messages sent to offline players trigger a notification the moment they return to the server.<\/p>\n<p>### Moderation &#038; Administrative Tools<\/p>\n<p>* **Heuristic Spam Blocking:** Uses Levenshtein distance calculations to prevent repetitive messaging and &#8220;simulated&#8221; spam.<br \/>\n* **Staff Spy:** Admins can monitor private whispers and party chats with a formatted `[Sender -> Receiver]` header.<br \/>\n* **Smart Filtering:** Includes auto-caps correction and regex-supported profanity filtering.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;<\/p>\n<p>## Command Reference<\/p>\n<p>### **General Communication**<\/p>\n<p>| Command | Usage | Description |<br \/>\n| &#8212; | &#8212; | &#8212; |<br \/>\n| `\/s` |
