Freedom Chat Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
Do I need to restart my server after installing Freedom Chat Mod?
Yes, you must fully restart your server for the mod to take effect. A simple reload will not load the mod's chat-handling systems.
Will players get kicked if their mod version doesn't match the server version?
Yes, version mismatches between the mod and your server software will cause connection errors. Always download the mod file that matches your exact server version.
Can players still see each other's messages normally?
Yes, the mod only removes the reporting system and digital signatures—all chat messages display and function normally for players.
What does enforce-secure-profiles false actually do?
Setting this to false in server.properties allows players using chat-modifying clients to join without being rejected by the server's security check.
Does this mod affect command output or just player chat?
The mod targets player-to-player chat messages specifically; command outputs and system messages are not affected by the signature removal.
Do players need to install anything on their client side?
No, Freedom Chat Mod runs entirely on the server side, so players can join with a vanilla client without downloading anything.
Can I verify that chat reporting is actually disabled on my server?
You can test by having a player attempt to report a message—if the report button is missing or non-functional, the mod is working correctly.
Will this mod cause lag or performance issues?
The mod is lightweight since it only processes outgoing chat signatures; it should not noticeably impact server performance.
What happens if I don't change enforce-secure-profiles and players use chat mods?
Players with chat-modifying clients will be rejected at login with a security error; changing the setting to false allows them to connect.
Does this mod work with other server-side chat mods?
Compatibility depends on whether other mods conflict with chat signature handling—test with your specific mod combination or check mod documentation for known conflicts.
