1How to Mention

By default, players can mention others by typing their name prefixed with @ (e.g. @PlayerName). When a player is mentioned, their name is highlighted in chat and they receive visual/audio notifications based on their settings. The prefix is fully customizable in the config.yml.

2Player Settings GUI

Players can customize their notification preferences using the /mentions command. This opens a GUI where they can toggle Sound, Title, and Actionbar notifications on or off individually. Server administrators also receive an exclusive "Mentionable Option" in the GUI to completely opt out of being mentioned.

3Configuration & Formatting

The plugin fully supports HEX colors (using &#RRGGBB format) and MiniMessage tags for all messages, prefixes, and chat replacements. You can use %player% (the sender) and %target% (the mentioned player) as placeholders in notifications.

4Exclusion List

Server administrators can specify a list of players in the config.yml who cannot be mentioned by others. This is useful for hiding staff members or system accounts from mention highlights.
