#770: Send messages without sender with SYSTEM type again
This was the behaviour before the 1.16 update and made it so that any message sent by a plugin was treated as a system message allowing the player to disable chat messages while keeping access to commands.
After 1.16 disabling the chat also disabled any plugin output, this restores the original behaviour.
