Configuration
Every setting in the mod config file, with what it changes.
| Option | What it does |
|---|---|
explanation"UUIDs"? "Heuristics"? | Normally, servers tell us who sent a message, i.e. the sender's UUID. However, many servers do not. They can even send fake UUIDs. In these cases we need to use a heuristic, i.e. we guess by the message content. This heuristic is not perfect, so it might misma |
threeDeeNess3Dness | Renders the hat layer slightly bigger to make chat heads appear less flat. This can cause some rendering issues. |
detectNameAliasesAuto-detect Name Aliases | This will look for responses to /realname commands on EssentialsX servers and automatically add an alias for it. |
rightPaddingChat Heads Right Padding | How many pixels of empty space are put after a chat head. 0 is vanilla (head touches text) 1 is consistent with any text (shadow touches text) Note that 3Dness adds some amount of padding. This setting only applies to heads in the chat and inside books. |
handleSystemMessagesHandle system messages | Whether heads can be added to "pure" server messages. Note that many servers (e.g. running the FreedomChat plugin) turn player messages into server messages! Only disable this option if you know what you are doing! |
nameAliasesName Aliases | Some servers allow setting nicknames which can't automatically be matched. Here you can manually match those nicknames to their profile name, like: nickname -> profilename |
offsetNonPlayerTextOffset non-player chat text | All text will be aligned if enabled Only applies to "Before Line" rendering |

drawShadowRender Shadow | |
senderDetectionSender Detection | For most servers "UUID and heuristic" works fine. If the server sends fake UUIDs, "Heuristic only" has to be used. |
smartHeuristicsSmart heuristics | Turn off heuristics if the server is known to send UUIDs. (Applies to the "UUID and heuristic" sender detection) |
