MultiPlanet provides a configurable chat translation system that allows you to choose how chat messages are handled and translated. You can customize the chat integration, message layout and translation working mode to fit your server’s needs.

​
Chat Mode

MultiPlanet offers two different chat modes:
  • External
  • Internal

​
External Mode

In External mode, chat messages are managed by an external chat plugin rather than MultiPlanet. MultiPlanet integrates with the external chat system to translate messages while maintaining compatibility with your existing chat configuration. Tested compatible plugins: Other chat plugins may also work, but the integrations listed above are the ones currently tested.

​
Internal Mode

In Internal mode, MultiPlanet handles chat messages directly. This mode allows you to customize the appearance of your chat through the chat.layout option in the configuration file. Supported integrations:
  • PlaceholderAPI
  • ItemsAdder

​
Custom Chat Layout

You can customize the chat format by modifying the chat.layout setting in your config.yml. Default layout:
The layout supports PlaceholderAPI placeholders, allowing you to integrate player prefixes, ranks and other information into your chat messages. Available MultiPlanet placeholders:
%message% is a special MultiPlanet placeholder. It represents the translated message and should be included in your chat layout if you want translated messages to appear correctly.

​
Working Mode

MultiPlanet offers two translation working modes:
  • Performance
  • Advanced
Each mode determines how chat messages are processed and translated.

​
Performance Mode

Performance mode translates messages only into the languages that are actually necessary. This reduces unnecessary translation requests and helps minimize resource consumption, making it the recommended option for servers with many players.

​
Advanced Mode

Advanced mode translates messages into all supported languages, regardless of which languages are currently needed. This can be useful when you want translations to be readily available for different languages, but it may generate more translation requests and consume additional resources.

​
Configuration

You can select your preferred working mode in config.yml:
Available values:
If you are unsure which mode to choose, Performance is recommended for most servers because it avoids unnecessary translations.
For most Minecraft servers, we recommend:
  • Chat Mode: Internal, if you do not use an external chat plugin.
  • Working Mode: Performance, to reduce unnecessary translation processing.
If your server already uses a supported external chat plugin, you can choose External mode instead.
