I assume your going to tell me to disable all plugins and only load essentials and go from there to find whats causing the issue?

From your dump, it doesn't appear that you have any plugins installed which provide prefixes. Would you be able to clarify what you are expecting with EssentialsChat installed?

Yeah I mean that would be a good idea. By default EssentialsChat format uses the display name, which can be set by other plugins. So if a fresh server works it's most likely something else.

That it displays my actual name Infront of the message?

Without essentialsx chat installed. My chat messages show my name and the message.

When essentialsx chat installed. It only shows the message with a ? Mark stating it's not the original message. But how are people supposed to know who's talking if there are no names.

I was asking because you didn't provide a screenshot with EssentialsChat enabled, and it wasn't clear to me that you meant the entire name was missing. I understand now.

That said, I'm not able to reproduce this issue with Paper-118 and Essentials 2.19.5-dev+41-ee7c1b1.

Does chat preview have to be enabled for essentialsx chat to work?

If so it's the first I've heard of that.

I'll test again on latest paper with chat preview enabled. When K get home.

It's not required for it to work, but if you want signed chat, it must be enabled, because players "approve" the preview before sending it as signed. Otherwise it will show up as the modified (?) indicator.

sorry if im bothering you but... why would it be not working now if it is working perfectly fine in 1.19?? its only since the chat signing been added its now an issue.

ok when removing essentialsxchat my chat works with player name and message.... its something to do with {displayname} as i enabled chat format with Chat Manager plugin then the same issue happened.... no name just message... its some issue with {displayname}....

no so ive disabled chat format from that one.. i only use it for other chat features like filters and bot etc... i like to use essentialschat for formating. just trying to isolate what plugin is interferring with ess

Does your chat manager plugin support the new chat features?

Okay, well either way it seems evident that this is an issue with an incompatibility with other plugins. Chat signing itself, as well as displaying display name, works properly in EssentialsChat, so I will close this now.
