This is useful for administrators who need to oversee conversations for moderation purposes. When enabled, all messages sent in any channel will be displayed to the spy, formatted according to the spy mode configuration. Can be enabled or disabled using the `/beechat spy` command. Permission: **beechat.spy** ## Tab customization Tab header, footer and player name format can be customized in config. ### Example ![Example tab list](https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/cached_images/6c4cec84f34910c20872e2ce60347cd9867e95e5.jpeg) ## Configuration The default config can be found here: [https://github.com/beaver010/bee-chat/blob/main/src/main/resources/config.yml](https://github.com/beaver010/bee-chat/blob/main/src/main/resources/config.yml). The configuration file (`config.yml`) only supports [MiniMessage](https://docs.advntr.dev/minimessage/format.html) format. Legacy (ampersand) formatting is not supported. You can use placeholders from [MiniPlaceholders](https://modrinth.com/plugin/miniplaceholders) and [PlaceholderAPI](https://hangar.papermc.io/HelpChat/PlaceholderAPI) in the configuration. ### Reloading The configuration can be reloaded using the command `/beechat reload`. Permission for the command: **beechat.reload** ### Example configuration ```yaml chat: message-format: ' → ' channels: - identifier: '!' format: '' - identifier: '#' permission: chat.channel.staff format: '(Staff) ' - identifier: '' distance: 40 format: '(Local) ' spy: format: 'Spy ' disable-on-leave: true tab-list: enable: true update-period: 200 header: '
