# The value is what's used in commands, this is probably what you want to change.
key="carbon:global"
# The chat formats for this channel.
format {
# Basic chat formats.
# The "default_format" format is the main one you want to edit.
# The "console" format is what's shown to console.
# The "discord" format is what's shown to supported discord integrations.
# The keys are group names, the values are chat formats (MiniMessage).
basic {
"default_format"="<display_name>: <message>"
discord="<message>"
