Chat Channels
💬 PICK THE RIGHT RANGE
Local is your everyday channel. Global reaches the whole server, and Help is for questions.
Available channels
| Channel | Tag | Who hears it? | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Local | L |
Players within 125 blocks in your current world | Nearby conversation, building and exploring together |
| Global | G |
Everyone listening across all worlds | Server-wide conversation and announcements |
| Help | H |
Everyone listening across all worlds | Gameplay questions and requests for assistance |
Staff may have additional private channels which are not available to regular players.
Change your active channel
Normal chat is sent to your active channel. Local is the default.
/ch L
/ch G
/ch H
You may use either a channel's short tag or its full name, such as /ch Global.
Check your available channels with:
/ch list
Check who is listening to your active channel with /ch who, or use /ch who Global to check a specific channel.
Send one message without switching
Local, Global and Help support quick messages. This sends one message to that channel without changing your active channel:
/l Anyone nearby?
/g Has anybody found a trial chamber?
/h How do I protect a chest?
This is especially useful when you normally stay in Local but occasionally need the whole server.
Join or leave a channel
Public channels are normally added automatically when you connect. You can also manage them manually:
/ch join Help
/ch leave Help
Leaving your active channel makes Herochat select another channel you can use. Public channels may be added again when you next reconnect.
Why did nobody hear my Local message?
Local only reaches players within 125 blocks, in the same world, who are listening to Local. Try /g message when you deliberately want to reach everyone.
Herochat also limits very rapid messages. If you see an anti-spam warning, wait briefly instead of resending the same line.
Keep chat readable: Use Help for genuine questions, avoid repeated messages, and follow the Community & Chat rules in every channel.
