Features:

Global Chat Customization
The mod replaces Minecraft’s default <Username> Message format with a more informative and cleaner layout:

%timestamp% | %username%: %chatmessage%

This improves readability and gives server communication a polished appearance.

No Client-Side Requirement
Once installed on your server, Beautified Chat Server Mod works for all players instantly, regardless of whether they have the mod installed on their end.

Timestamps
Timestamps let players know exactly when each message was sent. The default uses 24-hour formatting (HH:mm), but you can switch to AM/PM using hh:mm a.

Easy Configuration
All settings can be modified through the server-side configuration file:

• chatMessageFormat – Customize message layout using placeholders:
  • %timestamp% – Current time
  • %username% – Player name
  • %chatmessage% – Chat content
• timestampFormat – Control the appearance of the time stamp.
• Color Options – You can set individual colors for each part of the message.
