Embellish Chat¶
Embellish Chat expands Minecraft chat with rich formatting, clickable text, hover text, item, inventory, and ender chest showcases, icons, and configurable mentions. Most features are server-side, so players can use the enhanced chat experience without installing the mod on their client.
Start here
Server owners should begin with Configuration. Players who only need syntax can use the tables below.
