FAQ

Server required? No, but installing the server-side mod enables quote reply, @mention sync, chat history sync (new players receive recent messages), and the use_tpa option (player-head teleport uses /tpa).

How to configure? Gear icon (bottom-left) → Menu → Settings

Client config: config\e33chat-client.toml
Server config: saves<world>\serverconfig\e33chat-server.toml

Where is chat history? .minecraft\e33chat\history

How to disable chat history sync? Set history_enabled = false in the world's server config and restart.

Modpack? Go ahead.
