## Overview<\/p>\n
**Socially** is a modern Minecraft plugin designed to improve player communication and interaction.
\nIt adds global and local chat, player mentions, private messages, chat bubbles above players\u2019 heads, and simple interaction mechanics.<\/p>\n
The plugin is modular, highly configurable, and suitable for both small SMP servers and large communities.<\/p>\n

Socially provides an advanced and flexible chat system:<\/p>\n
– **Global chat** for server-wide communication
\n– **Local chat** with a configurable radius (N blocks)
\n– **Player mentions**
\n Typing a player\u2019s nickname in chat highlights it and plays a sound for the mentioned player
\n– **Private messages** <\/p>\n
The recipient hears a sound when a message is received
\n– **Simple bad word filter**
\nFully configurable and optional<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Chat bubbles display messages above players\u2019 heads:<\/p>\n
– Appear when a player sends any chat message
\n– Implemented using **TextDisplay**, allowing deep customization
\n– Not visible through blocks (line-of-sight based)
\n– Fully configurable appearance and behavior<\/p>\n
This feature improves immersion and makes nearby conversations easier to follow.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Handshakes are a simple interaction feature:<\/p>\n
– Player **A** right-clicks player **B** -> Player **A** sees player **B**\u2019s nickname in the **ActionBar**<\/p>\n
This is especially useful on SMP servers where player nicknames are hidden or difficult to recognize.<\/p>\n
\n—<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This plugin fully relies on **MiniMessage** for text formatting.<\/p>\n
If you encounter any formatting issues, please create an issue on the GitHub project page and describe the problem in detail.<\/p>\n
