ℹ️ Info: Frequently Asked Questions
🤔 What is a Standalone Word?
A standalone word is a word that is not part of another word. For example, if you have the standalone word fort in your standalone filter list, the word forts will not be flagged.
❓ What is a Phrase?
A phrase refers to any text that consists of more than a single word. With Chat Control, you can target and filter out entire phrases to maintain the desired environment on your server.
🔠 How do Replacement Letters Work?
Replacement letters are letters that are substituted before the message is filtered. For example, if you set a replacement of 1 with i, any occurrence of the number one will be replaced with the letter i before the message is filtered. This feature enhances the accuracy of your filtering system.
⚙️ I Already Have Another Mod with a Mute Command. How Can I Prevent Conflict?
No worries! You can easily disable the mute command in the Chat Control configuration file located at config/chatcontrol.json in your server folder. Simply set the muteCommand option to false, and after restarting the server, you won't encounter any conflicts.
⚠️ Please note that Chat Control is currently available exclusively for Fabric. We do not have plans to create a Forge version at the moment.
