📡ProtocolLib

LPC Pro integrates with ProtocolLib for packet-level message manipulation, enabling features like message deletion and message interception.

What It Enables

• Message Deletion — Staff can delete individual messages from all players' chat via a clickable [X] button

• Message Interception — Intercept and modify outgoing chat packets

Setup

1. Install ProtocolLib on your server

2. Ensure protocol-lib: true is set in config.yml under hooks:

Message Deletion

With ProtocolLib enabled, staff with the lpcpro.chat.delete permission can delete individual chat messages. When a message is deleted:

• It is removed from the chat window of all players who received it

• The deletion happens at the packet level, so the message disappears completely

Permission

Permission	Default	Description
lpcpro.chat.delete	op	Delete individual chat messages

How Message Deletion Works

LPC Pro uses ProtocolLib to track outgoing chat packets and their signatures. When a staff member triggers deletion, LPC Pro sends a packet to each player's client to remove the specific message from their chat window.

Message deletion relies on the client respecting the deletion packet. Some modified clients may not honor the request.
