#
#    For support and documentation, please visit:
#    - https://github.com/kangarko/ChatControl-Pro/wiki
#
# !-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------!
#
#    1) COLOR CODES are supported with the '&' character.
#       - For usage, see http://minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Formatting_codes
#       - When you use them, place quotes around the message like this: "Hello &cworld."
#       - To use HEX colors, use #123456 syntax: "Hello #123456world."
#
#    2) TO HIDE any message, set it to 'none'.
#
#    3) For UNICODE CHARACTERS (smileys, symbols, ..), save the file in UTF-8 encoding. See
#       - https://github.com/kangarko/ChatControl-Pro/wiki/Use-Right-Encoding
#
#    4) JSON is supported.
#       - For usage, see https://github.com/kangarko/ChatControl-Pro/wiki/JSON
#
#    5) WHITELISTS can be turned into blacklists, by putting "@blacklist" on the first line.
#       - Doing such, filters will only apply for messages in those lists.
#
#    PS: Everything above applies for all files in ChatControl/ folder.

  # Channels are preconfigured public chat rooms where players can message each other.
  # You can add various keys and remove those you don't use, see this tutorial:
  # https://github.com/kangarko/chatcontrol-pro/wiki/Channels
  #
  # Channel options:
  #
  # - Format: The only mandatory option. Represents the style of the message 
  #           when sent into the channel. Either type the format directly such as 
  #           "{player}: {message}" there, or type the name of a Format from your formats/ folder,
  #           such as "chat" if your format file is called chat.yml. Formats can have fancy
  #           hoverable and clickable parts.
  #
  # - Format_Console: Overrides the console format from above. Set to "none" to hide or "default"
  #                   to use channel's formatting.
  #                   Warning: The only way to hide console log is to cancel the event, which may
  #                   conflict with DynMap or other plugins. Be careful hiding this!
  #
  # - Format_Discord: Overrides the discord format from above. To disable, do NOT use the Discord
  #                   option and we simply won't send messages to Discord.
  #
  # - Format_Spy: Overrides the spy format from the "Spy" section below. Set to "none" to hide.
  #
  # - Range: How far in blocks around player should others see the message?
  #          To make the range per-world, set it to "*", otherwise set it to a number
  #          such as "50" that would be 50 blocks around the sender.
  #          Staff with chatcontrol.bypass.range permission will reach everyone on all worlds.
  #          Players with chatcontrol.bypass.range.world will reach everyone on the same world
  #          and linked worlds.
  #
  # - Range_Worlds: If "Range" is set to "*", which means everyone on world sees the message,
  #                 this is a list of worlds that are connected where players chat together.
  # 
  # - Party: Makes the channel players only reach other players in the same party. This can work
  #          together with Range, but does not require that option. 
  #          Available values: factions-faction, plotsquared-plot, towny-town, towny-nation,
  #          mcmmo-party and lands-land
  #          Warning: The Party option does not work over BungeeCord!
  #
  # - Message_Delay: This overrides Anti_Spam.Chat.Delay so you can chat chat delay per channel.
  #                  Put string values there like "5 seconds" or "1 minute" etc.
  #
  # - Bungee: true/false option. This overrides Integration.BungeeCord from below, so you can
  #           disable BungeeCord message synchronization for some channels.
  #
  # - Discord: true/false option. Ensure you have your Discord channel linked in Integration below,
  #            and then set this on "true" to connect your channel with Discord. See this link:
  #            https://github.com/kangarko/ChatControl-Red/wiki/Discord for a quick tutorial.
  #
  # - Cancel_Event: true/false option. Set to true if you want this channel to be hidden from DynMap
  #                 or other plugins. You may need adjusting this: 
  #                 https://github.com/kangarko/ChatControl-Red/wiki/Listener-Priorities

Hey! Try changing '1 seconds' to '1 second'. Also, regarding the places where you specified '0 seconds', I'm not sire if this is the righr way to use it. I'll have to take a look at it in my own config file in 40 mins when I get on my computer. Anyways, if you could try the first thing and let me know if it fixes your issue.

[LogGits]

changing all the 1 seconds to 1 second yields the same error. 0 seconds could be the issue, i tried 0 and it gave me an error so I have to use 0 seconds. The ClassCastException occurs when people join but not for me (maybe because I have * perms?).

Hey! Sorry for the delay. Please send us your /chc debug file so I can run some tests on my end.
