 # No, thank you, Microsoft
+This is the gay version!
+
 This plugin was created with the scope of being an incredibly simple way to remove the ability for Mojang to snoop through you messages by reimplementing the PlayerChatEvent to be a server broadcast, however, I have added some interesting features.
 
 When making this plugin, I took the liberty to make it so you can customise how the messages look using [MiniMessage](https://docs.advntr.dev/minimessage/index.html). Keep in mind that players can also format the message content with MiniMessage.
 
 It is very lightweight, having a little under 50 lines of code, however this might change when I will get to implementing PlaceholderAPI support.
