Update 01-8-2018 - The Chat Update!

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

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.

• A new message of the day will appear with news when you log in. You can also see this message by typing "/motd"
• There now spelling and grammar tools enabled on the chat.
  • Punctuation, capitalization and spelling.
• Private messages:
  • PM's now show up at the top right of your screen like achievements.
  • 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.
  • You may format your nicknames with bold, italic, strikethrough and underline. (See Formatting Chat, below)
• 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.
  • Emoji from Discord should now display properly in game (no more ":smile:" codes)
  • To see all the codes for the Emoji, 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 <argument>".
    • "/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:
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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."
  • 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.
  • 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.
