Frequently asked questions

How do I open or edit the Beautified Chat Mod config?
The mod is configured through its config file rather than an in-game menu, so you edit the values directly in that file and then reload or restart the game for changes to apply. Look for the Beautified Chat config file in your Minecraft config folder.
What do the placeholders like %timestamp%, %username% and %chatmessage% do?
These are the variables you place inside chatMessageFormat to control what appears in each chat line. %timestamp% inserts the time from timestampFormat, %username% inserts the sender's name, and %chatmessage% inserts the actual message text.
Why isn't my chat format changing after I edit the config?
Most likely the game hasn't reloaded the config, so save the file and restart Minecraft (or reload if the mod supports it). Also double-check you edited the correct config file and didn't leave a typo in a placeholder name.
How do I make the timestamp show seconds or use 12-hour time?
Change timestampFormat to a pattern that includes seconds or the AM/PM marker, such as adding :ss for seconds or using the hh:mm a style for 12-hour time. The format follows standard Java time patterns.
