Setup

This will walk you through installing HuskChat on your Velocity or BungeeCord/Waterfall-based proxy server.

Requirements

• Java 17+
• A Spigot (1.17.1+) Minecraft server (for single-server setups) OR a Velocity (recommended) or BungeeCord/Waterfall-based proxy server

Warning: The Spigot plugin "NoChatReports" will not work with HuskChat. Use FreedomChat instead if you wish to eliminate chat report warnings.

Single-server Setup Instructions

1. Turn off your Spigot server
2. Download the latest version of HuskChat.
3. Add the jar file to your Spigot server's ~/plugins folder
4. Start your Spigot server. Let HuskChat generate its config files, then stop the server again.
5. Modify your HuskChat config files as needed, then start your Spigot server again.
