Better Chat Messages
I don't know my version
Open Minecraft and look at the bottom-left corner of the main screen — the version is printed there, like v1.26.30.
The game writes a 1. in front; the buttons above leave it off. v1.26.30 in the game is 26.30 here.

With this pack you can edit how chat messages from players look like in chat with the new /chatlayout command. All what you need to do is to write /chatlayout set <player> "<new-layout>".
@s in the Nametag it will automatically replace with the players name or the type ID from the entity, $nametag will be replaced with the players nametag, $message will be replaced with the original message, and with \\n you can create a new line.
Examples:
/chatlayout set @p "@s: $message"/chatlayout set @a[tag=moderator] "§8[§9Moderator§8] §f@s §8>> §7$message"/chatlayout set @a "$nametag §8>> §f$message"
