Customizing Chat Announcement Messages Using Datapacks

DarkTimer Mod warns players with chat alerts ten minutes and one minute prior to a wipe, followed by a message confirming that a dark mage has cleared the items. If you want these messages to match your server's lore or language, you can customize them through a datapack.

Setting Up Announcement Overrides

1. Open your server or world's datapacks folder.

2. Access your custom datapack's folder structure or create a new pack containing the necessary pack.mcmeta file.

3. Locate the datapack entries responsible for DarkTimer Mod's chat messages.

4. Replace the default text for the ten-minute warning, the one-minute warning, and the dark mage item-cleared confirmation with your preferred server announcements.

Reloading and Verifying Messages

1. Save your edited datapack files.

2. In the game or server console, execute /reload to load the modified datapack assets into memory.

3.

4. Verify that the advance alerts display your custom warning text and that the final confirmation triggers correctly when ground items are purged.
