Style System

The style system turns matched chat text into richer Minecraft text components. A rule finds text with a regular expression, then applies one or more style actions to the matched part.

Mental Model

Step	What happens
1. Permission check	The player receives style rule groups they are allowed to use.
2. Pattern match	Each rule scans the chat message with its configured regular expression.
3. Select text	The rule selects the matched text that will be styled.
4. Resolve option	The rule chooses the configured option for each style action.
5. Apply styles	Style actions run in order and produce the final chat component.

Rule order matters

Rules are evaluated from top to bottom inside each rule group. Test rule order when multiple rules can match the same text.
