# Why ZelChat

## 💡Behind the curtains

ZelChat was developed because on the market most plugins that handle chat are poorly optimized \
and have long and unnecessary configurations. \
ZelChat was developed by a server owner for other server owners, a statement that only \
a minecraft server owner will understand! \
The ease of configuration, the extreme performance achieved and the features available make ZelChat a leader in the market!
