problem 1 "thomas"

like this?

@eventhandler     public void onplayerchat(asyncplayerchatevent chatevent){         (string word : chatevent.getmessage().split(" ")){             word = word.replaceall("&", "§");             if(sysmng.getconfig().getstringlist("badwords").contains(word)){                 if (!chatevent.getplayer().haspermission("bypassbadwords")){                 chatevent.setcancelled(true);                 chatevent.getplayer().sendmessage(chatcolor.red + "dont use dirty or swear words!");              }           }         }      } 

still not work.

strings immutable. can't change them inplace. calling replaceall() returns new string. if want replace old word new word, need do:

word = word.replaceall("&", "§");
