How to Customize Quote Formatting, Links, and Player Name Patterns

Beyond editing the raw text list, Death Quotes Mod lets you change how quotes look in chat and insert dynamic details like the fallen player's name or multi-line breaks.

Adjusting Chat Appearance and Links

1. Open the config folder inside your Minecraft client or server directory.

2. Locate and open the mod's configuration file in a text editor.

3. Look through the formatting options to toggle quotation marks around the displayed text or enable and disable italics so the quote stands out from the vanilla death message below it.

4. Adjust the link processing setting if your custom quotes include web addresses and you want to control whether chat treats them as clickable links.

5. Save the configuration file after making your changes.

Using Player Name and New Line Patterns

While inside the mod's configuration settings, look for the options that define custom patterns for player names and new line symbols.

1. Check or set the exact placeholder characters the mod uses for a player's name and for line breaks.

2. Open deathquotes.txt in your config folder.

3. Insert your chosen player name pattern anywhere inside a custom quote so the mod replaces it with the name of whoever just died.

4. Insert your configured new line symbol wherever you want a single quote to split across multiple chat lines.

5. Save deathquotes.txt and run /deathquotes reloadQuotes in chat to load the updated text.
