8. The Diablo Chat Gem
In the Battle.net chat, there used to be a blue gem that adorned the area below the center of the chat window. This gem seems to have been meant to be nothing more than a fancy decoration but the curious thing was that it was clickable and it often gave messages like “Gem Activated” or Gem Deactived” or “Perfect Gem Activated.” Blizzard never revealed what the gem did and so this lead to a tremendous amount of myths and legends about the gem.
First, before we get into those, the Blizzard “Multiplayer FAQ” said this about the gem:
Q: What is the functionality of the Gem in the Diablo II Battle.net Chat room?
A: While we cannot reveal the purpose or function of the Gem in the Diablo II Battle.net Chat room, we can say that it is working correctly and has more than exceeded our expectations. Also, Blizzard employees cannot confirm or deny any rumors regarding this Gem.

These comments ran a whole gamut of possibilities. For example, some players attributed clicking the jewel and activating it perfectly to finding gems or gem shrines. Another player swore it said, “Moooooo!” when they clicked on it 286 times and then found a gem shrine.
Other players believed that it was a means to activate chat filters for curse words. Other people (testers for Diablo 2) speculated that the gem was a way to open up a trade window. Still others swore they heard from blizzard employees that the gem didn’t do anything.
Eventually, Blizzard added this to their multiplayer FAQ:
Q: I want to know what the Gem does in the Diablo II Battle.net chat room, and don't tell me you can't say — just tell me what it does!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A: After a solid year of silence, we just can't keep the secret anymore. The long awaited answer to one of the most burning questions about Diablo II is simple: It does what it does. When you click on the Gem, it works perfectly every time, and that is what we have always said. To paraphrase Sigmund Freud, 'Sometimes a Gem is just a Gem'!
Well, I can help. I've made my PlugY files publicly available via my Discord. They are in the 'plugy-stuff' chat channel. All you have to do is go into the Discord, grab the files, extract them to your desktop, and then follow the short guide I have in the Discord. It's extremely easy, and has helped a couple dozen people setup their files quickly and efficiently, without having to downgrade. I have an install for 1.14 for BNet, and then I have my PlugY files which I play on 1.13c. Please let me know here or Discord if you need any help whatsoever with this process, although most of you will be just fine by following the guide in the Discord
Another thing included in my Discord l is my loot filter. It is technically the BH maphack (I only use it for its loot filter functionality) so I don't advise using it on BNet. But if you're interested in that, just grab the files from the 'loot-filter' chat channel and extract to your desktop. Once you have Diablo 2 up and running, open the lootfilter folder and run 'BH.injector.exe' as admin. In the dos screen that comes up, I usually type '2.' It has instructions with it, though. If you want to configure it differently, there is a website in the Discord that is a guide. Follow it carefully, otherwise you might mess something up (it is easy to do!). But here is the basic setup you'll get with my lootfilter configuration:
gold piles less than 1000 aren't visible
cracked, broken, etc items aren't visible
all potions aren't visible except Super Healing, Super Mana, and both rejuves
all gems appear in red font
all rejuves appear in purple font
Super Healing potions are renamed 'HP'
Super Mana potions are renamed 'MP'
small rejuves are renamed 'Small Rejuv'
full rejuves are renamed 'Rejuv'
scrolls of town portal are renamed 'TP'
scrolls of identify are renamed 'ID'
number of sockets are displayed on item names. format would be 'Monarch 4os' as an example (so if you see just a gray 'Monarch' on the ground you know everytime it is ethereal with 0os).
armor and weapons have vendor price displayed in their names, so you can quickly identify what might be worth vendoring
all maphack functionality is disabled
The player may control the United States of America, the People’s Republic of China, or the Global Liberation Army, and each side has its unique characteristics and abilities. All sides share some similarities, such as training infantry at a barracks, building armored vehicles at a factory, possessing “high tech” buildings needed for more advanced units, possessing a means to acquire additional resources and possessing a unique superweapon. Command and Conquer Generals GameplayCommand and Conquer Generals operates like most other real-time strategy games, in that the player must construct a base, acquire resources, build various combat and support units, and defeat opponents.4 Various unit types can be constructed, ranging from infantry to vehicles and air units.
Again, that is just how my files are setup. You can change it however you want, or you can keep it as is. I personally think the current setup is perfect, as it removes clutter but nothing which might have some sort of value.
I hope this helps some of you out. My plugy files being in my Discord has saved my butt twice after having to reformat my computer. It is incredibly easy to setup doing this. And the lootfilter.. It makes LK runs orgasmicly easy. It's so nice. If you play single player, I highly advise checking it out.
Again, please let me know if you need any help or have any questions.
