Frequently Anticipated Questions
Do I need to install this client-side?
No, it runs entirely server-side and vanilla clients can connect to servers with only this mod installed
Will I still see the formatting though?
Yes, the server will format the text and broadcast it to all players in its formatted form
Will you add [insert feature]?
Maybe. If it's in the Planned style support section, probably at some point.
