\n_The **MiniPlaceholders LuckPerms Expansion** plugin is used here to display the prefix from **LuckPerms**_<\/p>\n

## Chat channels
\nBeeChat supports multiple chat channels, each with its own format, distance and permission. Channels are identified by prefixes in the message.<\/p>\n

### Example
\n![Chat channels (global, local and staff)](https:\/\/cdn.modrinth.com\/data\/cached_images\/102e3cb99f4701a44c0217f327f609aec828aced.jpeg)<\/p>\n

## Spy mode
\nSpy mode allows players with permission to monitor all chat channels.
\nThis is useful for administrators who need to oversee conversations for moderation purposes.
\nWhen enabled, all messages sent in any channel will be displayed to the spy, formatted according to the spy mode configuration.
\nCan be enabled or disabled using the `\/beechat spy` command. Permission: **beechat.spy**<\/p>\n

## Tab customization
\nTab header, footer and player name format can be customized in config.<\/p>\n

### Example
\n![Example tab list](https:\/\/cdn.modrinth.com\/data\/cached_images\/6c4cec84f34910c20872e2ce60347cd9867e95e5.jpeg)<\/p>\n

## Configuration<\/p>\n

The default config can be found here: https:\/\/github.com\/KotQWERTY\/bee-chat\/blob\/main\/src\/main\/resources\/config.yml.<\/p>\n

The configuration file (`config.yml`) only supports MiniMessage format. Legacy (ampersand) formatting is not supported.<\/p>\n

You can use placeholders from MiniPlaceholders and PlaceholderAPI in the configuration.<\/p>\n

### Reloading
\nThe configuration can be reloaded using the command `\/beechat reload`. <\/p>\n
