About this project
What does EpicChat add?
EpicChat
A chat formatting mod focused on giving NeoForge server owners control over their chat aesthetics. LuckPerms support is built in and I highly recommend using it.
Note:
I will no longer be supporting Fabric. I do not recommend using the older Fabric versions. The versions marked Alpha will contain bugs and I will not help with them.
Current Features:
- Use legacy (&) color/formatting codes and hex (&#) color codes in chat
- Change the default chat format to whatever you want
- Add and remove nicknames with /nick and /delnick. This supports color codes
- Prefixes and suffixes are supported via LuckPerms
- Permission nodes are supported via LuckPerms

Command Usage & Permission Nodes:
/nick | Changes your nickname.
- epicchat.nick
/delnick | Deletes your nickname.
- epicchat.delnick
/nick | Sets another players nickname.
- epicchat.nick.other
/delnick | Deletes a user nickname.
- epicchat.delnick.other
Allows hex (&#abc123) and legacy (&a-f, &0-9) colors.
- epicchat.color.hex
- epicchat.color.legacy
Allows chat styles
Bold: &l
- epicchat.style.bold
Italic: &o
- epicchat.style.italic
Obfuscated: &k
- epicchat.style.obfuscated
Strikethrough: &m
- epicchat.style.strikethrough
Underline: &n
- epicchat.style.underline
Issues:
- Disabling options in the config file will also disable them in the chat formatting. You probably want to use LuckPerms to deny the usage via permissions instead.
