✉️Private Messages

LPC Pro provides a full private messaging system with customizable formats, ignore lists, and staff spy functionality.

Commands

Command	Aliases	Description	Permission
/msg <player> <message>	/m, /tell, /t, /whisper, /w	Send a private message	lpcpro.command.msg
/r <message>	/reply	Reply to last message	lpcpro.command.reply
/ignore <player>	—	Ignore a player's messages	lpcpro.command.ignore
/unignore <player>	—	Stop ignoring a player	lpcpro.command.unignore

Enabling / Disabling

Private messages are controlled in config.yml:

enable-private-messages: true
enable-ignore-messages: true

Changing these settings requires a server restart because the commands are registered dynamically on startup.

When enable-private-messages is true, ignore messages are automatically enabled regardless of the enable-ignore-messages setting.

Message Formats

Private message formats are defined in separate format files:

• Sender sees: formats/msg-sender.yml

• Receiver sees: formats/msg-receiver.yml

Sender Format Example

msg:
  text: "<#6cc324>[&fme <#6cc324>➥ &f{receiver_name}<#6cc324>] &f{message}"
  hover:
    - "&8%server_time_yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss%"
    - "You <#6cc324>sent this message to &f{receiver_name}<#6cc324>."
    - ""
    - "<#6cc324>Click to reply!"
  suggest: "/msg {receiver_name} "

Receiver Format Example

from-to:
  text: "<#6cc324>[&f{sender_name} <#6cc324>➥ &fme<#6cc324>]"
  hover:
    - "&8%server_time_yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss%"
    - "{sender_name} <#6cc324>sent this message to &fyou<#6cc324>."
    - ""

  hover: "&eClick to report {sender_name}'s message!"
  suggest: "/report {sender_name} "

Ignore System

Players can ignore other players to stop receiving their messages:

• /ignore <player> — Block messages from a player

• /unignore <player> — Unblock a player

Ignore lists are persisted in the database and survive server restarts.

Ignore Bypass

Players with lpcpro.command.ignore.bypass can send messages to players who have ignored them. This is useful for staff members.

Staff Spy

Staff members can spy on private messages:

Permission	Description
lpcpro.spy.pm	See all private messages on the server
lpcpro.spy.bypass	Your messages won't be seen by spies

Do Not Disturb

Players can toggle Do Not Disturb mode to temporarily stop receiving private messages:

Command	Permission	Description
/dnd	lpcpro.dnd	Toggle Do Not Disturb mode

Moderation

Private messages are subject to the swear filter when filter-private-messages: true is set in moderation/moderation.yml.
