Chat

Chat in MCON is pretty similar to a standard Minecraft server, but with a few key differences.

Basics
All chat in MCON is local. meaning its limited to a certain range. In MCON, that range is 200 blocks. This means that you'll recieve any chat messages within a 200 block radius. This may be a feature a lot of you are against, but it adds some realisim and new dynamics to the game. It also keeps chat relavent, as you'll only get messages from a certain area. and not from halfway across the map.

In addition to the standard local chat, you'll also be automatically logged into your Nations Chat when you join the game. This means that you'll still be able to communicate with all the members in your Nation, and all the players in a certain location. This gives chat messages more of a essential feeling, as it trims most of the fat that you'd get from a global chat channel, and makes each message more likely to be of importance to you.

Identifying the channel you're in is simple.

Local messages are colored Gold, and Nation messages are colored Green.

You can set a channel as active (the channel you want to send messages on) using: /chat set  Or you can also send messages without setting a channel active (useful if you're having a conversation in one channel and need to send a quick message to the other) using: /chat  You can also log yourself out of either channel so you won't recieve messages by using: /chat leave  And to join/rejoin a channel: /chat join  And finally you can see who's currently in the channel with you, using: /chat who

Despite some of the elements that may come across as limitations, we hope that the chat channels help seperate the noise, and help add a sense of relavence to the chat feature.
