Styled Chat

It's a simple mod that allows server owners to change how their chat looks!

It adds support for modern chat formatting supported by Minecraft, but ignored by many chat mods/plugins.

It's also compatible with any mods using Placeholder API.

It also supports changing style per player with permissions (supports LuckPerms and PlayerRoles)

Commands (and permissions):

• /styledchat - Main command (styledchat.main, available by default)
• /styledchat reload - Reloads configuration and styles (requires styledchat.reload)
• /styledchat set <player> <type> <value> - Changes personal <player>'s style of <type> to <value> (requires styledchat.set)
• /styledchat get <player> <type> - Sends <player>'s style of <type> (requires styledchat.get)
• /styledchat clear <player> <type> - Clears <player>'s style of <type> (requires styledchat.clear)

Configuration:

You can find config file in ./config/styled-chat.json. Formatting uses Simplified Text Format. It supports usage of placeholders from Placeholder API. Additionally, every message type has few own local variables.
