Hi there, my young daughter and I play on a kids' MCMMO server v1.9.2 - I obviously would like to supervise her private chat conversations - does anyone know is there a mod or plugin or what-have-you which would allow this?
I'd say have it work on a permission based system, IE: the account whose chat is being monitored must give permission to being watched. That way griefers couldn't use this to spy on private conversations unwanted.

And is it clientside or SERVERSIDE? Your suggestion is a moderator control that would be needed to be added to the server, and is thus beyond the Op's control. The op requires a clientside access route, one that does not need to be installed on the server.

I already covered that. I do have a thought as to how it could work, if two clients are on the same LAN and server, a clientside mod could in theory, forward a message received from one to another over LAN. If that's not possible, you could set it so that the mod automatically resends received pms to the monitoring account. This second option would be working from the monitored account's client, preventing malicious use by griefers. After all, if someone installed it on your own client to spy on your pm's, you'd have other things to wordy about

well, so first of all yes, it'd require some serverside stuff, be it the plugin or another application that routes the received direct messages, as vanilla servers won't broadcast these to other players (and that's a good thing, lol).
Working on the same LAN *could* be possible, but it'd require the minecraft clients to connect to other computers in the LAN (there's probably no mod for that).
Simply connecting to another person's ACCOUNT can't be done because you'd require some static server that routes the messages to the correct account (and correct IP), which would require to have a static (internal and external) IP address and a service to manage the message routing.

I think I need to further clarify. I am not speaking of a program that intercepts messages from the server. I am referring to a clientside program that reads incoming PMs, an then sends a NEW PM containing the received message, to the parent's client. IE it is simulating player input to send the PM, not reading the server's communications with a client.

Sorry for taking so long to reply - it's not my server but I am sure this is a feature the server owners would be glad to install server-side for parents, if there is something out there.
The admins already monitor all private chat as it is a kids' server, they are open about that, and they also encourage parents to be as involved as possible with their kids' play on the server.
There have been a few times that my daughter has been fighting in private message ("You're a meanie" "No you are" etc) which can escalate and someone ends up crying. She's young enough that it's entirely appropriate for me to be seeing everything she sees.

Oh this is a brilliant idea! Installing a mod on my daughter's computer so that any PMs which her player account sends/receives automatically get forwarded to my player account also.

Could this be done?
Especially because this way the child would see each outgoing copied messages being sent out to the parent so no chance of this mod being used without a person's knowledge.

this might be helpful for you
That appears to lack the feature the op is asking for.

no, it's just a plugin to monitor either any private traffic on the server or just private traffic of a specified player.
And is it clientside or SERVERSIDE? Your suggestion is a moderator control that would be needed to be added to the server, and is thus beyond the Op's control. The op requires a clientside access route, one that does not need to be installed on the server.
