messages.json

##Introduction

The messages.json file lets you customize every message Stella sends on Fabric — command results, the team/player info panels, the update notice and all errors. It's the JSON equivalent of the Paper messages.yml: the same nested keys and the same & / hex color codes. Edit the text and run /stella reload to apply it.

##Color & formatting

Stella parses inline hex #RRGGBB and legacy & codes (&l, &m, &r, …) directly in the strings — there is no &x needed for hex. A %prefix% token at the start of most messages inserts the prefix defined at the top of the file.

The keys, messages and placeholders mean exactly the same as on the Paper messages.yml — only the file format changes from YAML to JSON.
