   I don't know if this the best way but I am doing Code (Java): for(int i=0; i<200; i++) { Bukkit.broadcastMessage(""); } Is there a better way to do this?

   Simple answer: That is the best way. Although, you don't need 200 lines.

   There's literally no point in clearing chat as logs exist. Logically speaking, you'd want to spam the player's chat with random words so that it'd be near impossible to find it within the logs. But if you don't want to do that then spamming blank lines also works just fine. Alternatively you could require everyone to install your own client, and from there you could link the server and client to send an order to the client to cler the chat. This'd be completely unnecessary but it would work /shrug

   That's the best way, But if you're going to be doing it often create a method, (Or even if you use it twice)

   Code (Java): Bukkit.broadcastMessage(StringUtils.repeat(" \n", 100));

   There's definitely reasons you'd want to clear the chat, like if someone spams racial slurs, advertising, breaking certain rules you might have, spamming in general, stuff like that

   If people don't want to see stuff that was said in chat then they can do F3+D. Otherwise if they do want to see it then they can just look in chat logs. But sure, can be useful.

   I think a good way to avoid that would be to detect the words, the problem is that there are different ways of seeing it Example:

   • Easy
   • Ez
   • izi
   • etc...

   Well, since there are hack clients which stack messages if they are equal to each other, maybe you could also print something like this before: Code (Java): for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++) { Bukkit.broadcastMessage("§0" + ThreadLocalRandom.current().nextDouble()); }

    Server management shouldn't use clear chat as a filter, it should be a final last minute emergency fix. There's a major difference between clear chat and a full on filter. I wish everyone the best of luck in making a filter that's as good as a regular human. But good luck. PhaxyWende said: ↑

    There isn't really a point in doing, if anything it'd just make the clear chat super ugly.

    Well clear chat would be avoided, and if it is very difficult, but for servers ip is very useful, you can block all domains, .com, .org, .net ... can detect the message, and cancel the event so that it is not sent to the chat, and tell the staff that someone has said a bad word or mention of another server.

    FrostedSnowman's method is more efficient. PhaxyWende said: ↑

    If you clear with spaces after using the random crap, then what's the point of the random crap? lol

    I already explained this in my post before. Players with clients that stack equal messages get a "cleared" chat aswell.

    Those are people running modified clients. If they want to run something other than vanilla, what they see is at their discretion.

    Yes, and thats why they have some "ugly" random numbers on their screen. There are things you want to hide as server admin (server ips, links...)

    Best way to clear the chat is by making the player press 'F3+D', Thank me later ;P
