\n# Styled Chat
\nIt’s a simple mod that allows server owners to change how their chat looks!<\/p>\n
It adds support for modern chat formatting supported by Minecraft,
\nbut ignored by many chat mods\/plugins.<\/p>\n
It’s also compatible with any mods using Placeholder API.<\/p>\n
It also supports changing style per player with permissions (supports LuckPerms and PlayerRoles)<\/p>\n
*This mod works only on Fabric Mod Loader and compatible!*<\/p>\n
If you have any questions, you can ask them on my Discord<\/p>\n
Also check out my other mods and project, as you might find them useful!<\/p>\n
