ArcaneChat

Make your server feel more welcoming and keep chat active with friendly rewards, quick quizzes, and voting battles. Players participate through normal chat—no menus or commands needed.

Welcome new players

Announce first-time arrivals and show a personal welcome title on their screen. Other players can type welcome PlayerName to receive a configurable reward.

• Configurable welcome delay and reward window.
• One reward per player per newcomer.
• Persistent records prevent duplicate welcome rewards after restarts.
• Customizable messages, colors, and title timing.

Chat quizzes

Challenge players with trivia, generated math equations, and scrambled words. Only the first correct answer wins the reward, even when several players answer together.

• 240 trivia questions across general knowledge, geography, and Minecraft.
• 240 unscramble words.
• Generated addition, subtraction, multiplication, and whole-number division.
• Simple one-word answers for bundled trivia.
• Configurable intervals, time limits, categories, and rewards.
• Answer reveals when time runs out.
• Optional winner cooldown.

Community voting battles

Cats or dogs? Building or exploring? Let your players pick a side.

• 240 ready-to-play battle topics.
• Vote by typing 1, 2, or the option name.
• One vote per player.
• Results show counts, percentages, and ties.
• No money rewards—just friendly competition.

Quizzes and voting battles take turns, keeping chat events from overlapping.

Easy configuration

Edit readable YAML files to change questions, words, battle topics, schedules, rewards, and chat styling. Reload settings without restarting, and use admin commands to test each feature.

Requirements

• Paper 26.1.2
• Java 25
• For money rewards, an economy plugin with a console-compatible payment command, such as eco give {player} 100.

ArcaneChat runs your configured reward commands; it does not manage player balances itself.
