Reduce mcMMO notification noise without changing skill progress

Applies to: mcMMO; match the linked maintainer documentation to your installed platform and release.
Documentation checked 9 November 2026.

Skill notifications can overwhelm chat even when progression works normally. Identify the message source before disabling skill features or changing rewards to quiet the display.

Check the installed content

mcMMO progress belongs to player data, while its configuration controls future skill behaviour. Preserve both before changing progression rules. Match the installed release when checking permissions and configuration; current configuration references identify changes that require a full server restart.

Work through the change

1. Capture the exact message and activity that produces it. Record whether it appears in chat, an action bar or another display and whether all players see it.
2. Consult the installed configuration reference for the relevant display or notification setting. Keep experience values and player levels outside this presentation change.
3. Change one display setting on staging and repeat the triggering activity with an ordinary account. Compare the actual skill XP before and after so a quieter interface is not mistaken for disabled progression.
4. Check important ability or cooldown feedback still reaches the player. Test alongside your other action-bar or scoreboard plugin to identify competing display updates.

Verify the result

The intended notification should be quieter or hidden while the skill still gains XP normally. Players should retain the information required to understand active ability availability.

If the result differs

If messages remain, identify which plugin sends the captured wording before changing more mcMMO settings. If another display flickers, compare plugins individually on staging rather than disabling progression.

Keep a recovery path

Restore the original display settings if usability worsens, then restart normally where required by the installed configuration reference. Keep the player database unchanged because this task concerns presentation rather than progression data.
