A mod that adds customizable timestamps to chat!

📖 What is this mod?

This is a client-side mod that allows users to add a customizable timestamp to their chat messages.

Have you ever returned to Minecraft after being AFK only to find that your friends have been messaging you and wondered when those messages were left?
With this mod, you'll never have to guess again!
The Timestamp mod adds timestamps to all chat messages, so you can easily see exactly when each message was sent.

The formatting along with the style of the timestamp can be customized.

Here are some screenshots!
(Please note that I just joined a random server & asked for permission to take the screenshots.)
