How to Color the Timestamp, Username, and Message Separately

Locate the color options

The mod exposes separate color settings for the different parts of a chat line — typically one for the timestamp, one for the username, and one for the chat message itself. Each accepts a color code value. The available values are the standard Minecraft color codes: 0 black, 1 dark blue, 2 dark green, 3 dark aqua, 4 dark red, 5 dark purple, 6 gold, 7 gray, 8 dark gray, 9 blue, a green, b aqua, c red, d light purple, e yellow, and f white.

Assign colors to each part

Open the config file and set each color option to the code you want. For example, giving the timestamp a gray value and the username a yellow value makes names stand out while the clock stays subtle. Because the colors are configured per element rather than per line, you can mix them freely — a red timestamp next to a green username is perfectly valid.

Check the result and troubleshoot

Save the file and reload the config or restart the game, then send a message to see the colors. If a section stays the same color, confirm you edited the option that matches that section and that you used a valid single-character code. If two parts share a color, it usually means both options were set to the same value.
