The Chat Update 1-8-2018

This update adds some robust features to the chat system in Minecraft, including emojis, mail and private messaging.

SPECIAL NOTE: You will be asked if you want to download a new resource pack when you log in the first time, you should choose YES. This is the emoji pack.

Message of the Day:

• A new message of the day will appear with news when you log in. You can also see this message by typing "/motd"

Private messages:

• PM's now show up at the top right of your screen like achievements.
• New commands. /t, /tell, /whisper, /msg, /m all send private message to the playername after the command.
• You may now use "/r" to reply to your last PM recipient automatically. You do not need to type their name.
• You may now use "/ignore" or "/ign" to ignore a player.
• You may now use "/togglepm", "/ignorepm", "/ignpm or "/nopm" to ignore private messages altogether.

Nicknames!

• • You can change your in-game name to a nickname. Use the command "/nick <new name>". Your name will then display as "~<nickname>" in chat. Your nickname can be up to 40 characters and spaces are not allowed.
  • You may format your nicknames with bold, italic, strikethrough and underline. (See Formatting Chat, below)
  • To return to your regular USERNAME type "/nick off"

EMOJI!

• You will be asked to download a new resource pack from the server when you log in next time. This is the emoji pack! You should click yes, or it won't work.
• If you don't see emoji, you might need to retry downloading the emoji resource pack. Use the command "/emojichat resourcepack" to do so. Your game will freeze for a minute while it downloads.
• Emoji from Discord should now display properly in game (no more ":smile:" codes)
• To see all the codes for the Emoji, use the command "/emojichat list" or visit the [Emoji List] (Note, all emoji are enabled even if they say "Disabled by default" next to them on the list.)

MAIL!

You can now send mail to other players, even when they're offline.

• To send mail, use the command "/mail <variable>".
  • "/mail read"
  • "/mail clear"
  • "/mail send"
  • You may also use a mailbox in the world, in various villages. See villages to find one.

Other Chat Features:

• AFK MODE:
  • You can flag yourself as AFK ("Away From Keyboard") by typing "/afk". This will also turn it off. When you are AFK your name will turn gray in the player list and be flagged "-AFK".
  • If you are idle for 5 minutes, you will be placed in "AFK" mode. Simply /afk to turn it off or move or interact with something in the world. IF you are AFK for 10 minutes, you will be logged out of the game.
• MENTIONS: You can place an "@" in front of a player's name to "mention" them. When they are mentioned, an alert is played on their computer, and their name is highlighted in chat.
• OPs and Admins names will be shown in red.
• MUTE: You can mute the chat completely by using the command "/chc mute". The game will notify the rest of the players when you mute them.
• EMOTE: You may now emote by typing "/me" before your action. Example, if your name is Joe: "/me dances the dance of his people." will say in chat: "Joe dances the dance of his people."
• CHAT FORMATTING: Formatting Chat Messages: You may now format your chat messages with bold, strikethrough, underline, italic styles. Use the following codes before your text to format them. Use "&r" after the text to switch back to default.
  • "&l" for bold Example: "The &lgirl&r was a big spender" would appear as "The girl was a big spender."
  • "&m" for strikethrough.
  • "&n" for Underline.
  • "&o" for Italics.
  • "&r" to reset, or "stop" the formatting and continue the text with default formatting.
  • NOTE: These may also work on signs, but it is untested.
• LOOKUP RECIPE: You can use the "/recipe <item name>" command to find out how to craft an item. Use the item codes listed [here], if you can't guess it.

Other changes:

• You may now sleep in your bed at day time. This allows you to set your bed respawn location whenever you like.
• Some Easter eggs have been added to the game. You may find hints to them throughout the world.
