Introduction

Embellish Chat

Embellish Chat modernizes your Minecraft server's chat experience with a fully server-side design. It adds Markdown-style formatting, interactive message events, and a flexible mention system without requiring any client installation.

Overview

Embellish Chat is organized around three main areas:

  • General: Commands, global configuration, compatibility notes, and performance information.
  • Style: Markdown-like formatting, clickable text, hover events, macros, and advanced chat presentation.
  • Mention: Targeted notifications for players, teams, groups, worlds, and custom selectors.

If you are new to the mod, start with Configuration, then move to Style System and Mention System.
