MessagesOnHead is a Paper (1.19.4+) plugin that shows messages above players' heads for a little time when they send messages to the chat.
The plugin's functionality is based on the Text Display entity.
- Limit per line: you can configure the symbols limit for each line in the
symbolsPerLinefield. - Max symbols limit: you can configure the max amount of symbols per message in the
symbolsLimitfield ('...' will be appended if the limit is reached). - Timer: You can enable/disable the timer at the end of the message that shows how much time is left until the message is gone.
- Time scaling: you can make longer messages exist for more time.
- Colors and style: you can choose the color of the text, its background, whether the text is shadowed and the color for the timer.
messagesonhead.show(true by default) — Whether messages will appear above player's head.messagesonhead.admin(for operators by default) — Allows to use the/mohcommand.
/moh info— shows commands info./moh reload— reloads the config and makes a cleanup by removing all entities related to the plugin./moh say <player> <msg>— says a message on behalf of the player.
