Plugin IRCTransport

IRCTransport, Minecraft IRC Integration

IRCTransport is a legacy Bukkit chat plugin that connects a Minecraft server directly to an Internet Relay Chat server. It replaces the in game chat flow with an IRC session, allowing players and IRC users to communicate through shared channels while all connections run from the server side.

Players can join, leave, and switch channels, send private messages, change nicknames, view user lists, check topics, use actions, and request WHOIS information. Automatic reconnection, SSL options, WebIRC support, configurable message formats, prefixes, suffixes, and basic translations add flexibility. At BoxToPlay, we present it as a specialized choice for legacy Minecraft server communities seeking close IRC integration.
