Chat Messages

Petting features a granular client-side feedback filtering system. Players can independently toggle individual chat notifications on or off in petting-client.toml to suit their preferences without cluttering chat logs.

Server vs. Client Authority

Server Authority: The server configurations enablePetDeathMessages and enableEggConvertedFeedback determine whether the server dispatches the notification to the player. If the server disables them, no message is transmitted.
Client Authority: If the server sends the message, the player's client checks petting-client.toml. If the toggle for that specific key is false, the client suppresses it locally from the chat window.
