Message Tags

Message Tags are used to replace text with pre-generated values set by Essence. You can use these tags to set values that may change often such as versions.

config.yml

Message Tags supported in config.yml strings are shown below. These can be used in the MOTD, or join/leave messages.

Tag	Description	Example
`{{essence-version}}`	Gets the version of Essence the server is running.	1.4.0
`{{minecraft-version}}`	Gets the version of Minecraft the server is running.	1.20.6
`{{time}}`	Gets the current time in format HH:MM:SS	13:45:56
`{{date}}`	Gets the current date in format YYYY-MM-DD	2024-05-19
`{{datetime}}`	Gets the current date and time in format YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS	2024-05-19 13:45:56
`{{player}}`	The player who initiated the message's username	Notch

Language Files

Language files use a different system for Message Tags, they appear as {{1}}, {{2}}, etc. These values are set by the function in Essence that causes that message to be sent.

You should not change these values.
