To install this plugin, download the zip file and extract it to your plugins folder.
There should now be a ChatUtilities.jar and a ChatUtilities folder inside of your plugins folder.

To enable this, you should have something like this in the config:

adfly:
enabled: true
link: api.adf.ly/api.php?key=YOUR_KEY_HERE&uid=YOUR_UID_HERE&advert_type=int&domain=adf.ly&url=$link

Just replace YOUR_KEY_HERE and YOUR_UID_HERE with those 2 values.
Now, whenever someone types a link in chat or in a command or even on a sign, it gets converted to an adf.ly link automagically!

Note: If you need to register for adf.ly, please use this link!
Thank you, it awards me 20% of what you make, but you still get full money too!

These are things that are replaced with values if you have the permission of "ChatUtilities.functions".
These work in chat and in commands.
Just put a players name in the parentheses.

Function	Description
!XOf()	Replaced with the x value of the player
!YOf()	Replaced with the y value of the player
!ZOf()	Replaced with the z value of the player
!WorldOf()	Replaced with the name of the world that the player is in
!UUIDOf()	Replaced with the UUID of the player

Before we start, if you do not have notepad++, I highly reccomend you get it.
You can find it here.
Never use tabs in this plugin's configuration, go into Settings->Preferences->Tab Settings and check the "Replace by space" box.

Package Commands

To add a packaged command, put the command that you want under the PackagedCommands key. (dont put a '/')
Then add the permission and minArgs nodes. (If you dont want arguments in your command, set minArgs to 0)
After that, add a list of commands that you want. (You can use $player for the name of the player and $(insert number here) for that argument.
You are now all done with adding your package command.
Remember that all of the commands in it are run by console!



Replacements

To add a replacement, put the word you want replaced under the replacements node.
Replacements work in chat, commands, and even on signs!
Then add the replacement, permission, and replaceAll nodes.
(If you don't know what replaceAll is for, imagine this: There is a replacement to replace 'i' with 'I'. If replaceAll was false, then a message would look like this: "I like cake." if it was true, it would look like this: "I lIke cake." replaceAll when its false only replaces the word if it stands alone.)
Then add the commands. If you put "cancel" for the command, it will cancel the event. You can use $player and it will be replaces with the players name. These commands are run from console and executed before the chat message is displayed.
To execute the command after the message is displayed, use the "chat sync (command)" command.

Taa daa, all done!
There are a lot more possibillities here, for example:

Regex can be used in for more advanced replacements.
To use regex in your replacements, be sure to have "replaceAll" set to true.
Then, it should look something like this:

' \E regex here \Q':
replacement: it works!
permission: none
replaceAll: true

So, for example:

'\Ea+\Q':
replacement: it works!
permission: none
replaceAll: true

That would replace all a's and strings of a's with "it works!".
To test your regex, go here.
Just put "(?i)\Q" in front of your replacement and "\E" in back of it.
For example, to test the previous example, you would type this into the regex box:
"(?i)\Q\Ea+\Q\E"
Then, type whatever you want to test to see if it matches into the box below.

--For Advanced Users--

To get what a regex matched, use the $match variable in the replacement and commands.
Just double-parentheses whatever you want to match.
