MineTags detects hashtags and username in chat messages, highlights them and then sends it to a server that ranks the trending topics.
Players on my server really liked having hashtags in Minecraft as it made conversation more interactive. Therefore I decided to take the idea and create an up-to-date version where I could add the features I wanted.
Features
Commands
- Coloured #hashtags in chat
- Supports multiple hashtags per message
- Player @tagging with "note"ifications
- Can't spam players with sounds (only every 10 seconds)
- /trending command to see the top hashtags worldwide
- Trending tags are based on time (say, if they haven't been used that day/week then they aren't shown as popular)
- Options in config for permissions, global trending server and custom hashtag colour
- Works on Spigot 1.8
Permissions (optional)
- /trending
- /minetags [reload]
Global Trending Server
- minetags.send
Check out the top hashtags by typing /trending in-game or here on the MineTags website: boveybrawlers.com/minetags
API
Use the MineTags-API to show the Global Trending Server information on your own website. Tutorial can be found on my GitHub repo.
MineTags is based off of the inactive plugin Minecraft Hashtags, all credit goes to aaron524 for this idea.

MineTags 2.2
Let players use hashtags like on Twitter in the chat!

Awesome but I would like to suggest something, for example someone puts a hashtag in chat, it would be great if anyone would be able to click on hashtag and then it'll open their browser in the url of the hashtag

I love this idea! :3 But I must get permission for color chat for defaults :/

You can turn on permissions in the config, and then only people with the `minetags.send` perm can get colour chat.

Great plugin! Can you add the following features: a sound when ever a person says the other persons name like @TenchiPlaysMC I hear a sound. Bold for @ and #? I will be really happy if these features are added :)

Thanks for the feedback. It does play a sound, make sure you have your master volume up and the jukebox/noteblocks setting turned to 100%. And I'll turn the hashtag-color setting into a hashtag-prefix which allows you to specify your formatting with more control in the next version :)

There's spam prevention to stop this happening but no swear filter because #YOLO
