Frequently asked questions

How do I change the chat format on the server?
Open the mod's config file on the server and edit the chatMessageFormat option, then restart or reload the server. The format uses placeholders for the timestamp, username, and message, which you can rearrange however you like.
Do players need the mod installed on their client to see the chat changes?
No. This is the server variant, so only the server needs the mod in its mod list. All connected players see the beautified chat automatically, even with a vanilla client.
How do I remove the timestamp from chat?
Edit the chatMessageFormat config option and delete the timestamp placeholder from the format string. Save the config and the timestamp will no longer appear in chat.
How do I make the timestamp show AM/PM instead of 24-hour time?
Change the timestamp format option in the config to use a 12-hour pattern with an AM/PM marker. The default is 24-hour, so you need to edit the timestamp format string yourself.
