Configuration Files

No Chat Reports has four configuration files - NCR-Client.json, NCR-ServerPreferences.json, NCR-Encryption.json and NCR-Common.json, all of which are located in NoChatReports folder inside config folder in .minecraft directory or server installation directory.

• NCR-Client.json contains options that are effective on client side, and thus it will not be generated on dedicated servers;
• NCR-ServerPreferences.json stores signing mode preferences for individual servers, which can be configured in-game by clicking on safety status button in chat screen;
• NCR-Encryption.json stores encryption settings, most of which can be tweaked with the help of in-game GUI. All encryption-related functionality is explained in a dedicated article, and thus those options will not be touched upon here: To Encrypt or Not to Encrypt.
• NCR-Common.json contains options that affect server or both sides. Server options are present on client too since they are relevant when hosting LAN servers.

Available Options

Option: demandOnClient

Side: Server
Description: Makes the server require all joining clients to have No Chat Reports installed.

Option: demandOnClientMessage

Side: Server
Description: Disconnect message that the server sends when demandOnClient is enabled and someone tries to join without No Chat Reports installed.

Option: demandOnServer

Side: Client
Description: Prevents the client from joining servers that don't have No Chat Reports installed.

Option: enableDebugLog

Side: Both
Description: Enables logging of certain debug information. This is generally useless for non-developers.

Option: convertToGameMessage

Side: Server
Description: Makes the server convert all player messages into system messages. System messages don't have any signatures attached and cannot be reported; on unmodified clients they will display with gray bar to the left.

Option: showServerSafety

Side: Client
Description: Allows the client to display server safety status in bottom-right corner of chat screen. The icon is hoverable for additional information:

Currently, there are 6 safety levels:

1. Unknown. The state of chat reporting is not yet known, you must send one message for No Chat Reports to detect it.
2. Secure. The server has No Chat Reports installed, or prevents chat reporting on entire server in some other way.
3. Unintrusive. Server itself does not prevent chat reports, but has enforce-secure-profile disabled and allows players to send unsigned messages. Players on vanilla clients are still at risk, but No Chat Reports can protect you and them if installed on client.
4. Insecure. Server does not prevent chat reports and has enforce-secure-profile enabled, not allowing anyone to send unsigned messages. Every message you send can be reported.
5. Realms. Realms enforces chat signing and monitors all chat, taking actions against players even if nobody reports others.
6. Undefined. Likely indicates that mod has encountered a bug, please report it and include your logs.

Option: defaultSigningMode

Side: Client
Description: Determines signing mode that is effective for servers without individual signing mode preference set. Currently there are 4 selectable modes:

• Always
  This mode automatically enables message signing as soon as you enter the server, identically to how vanilla client would.
• Never
  In this mode messages are never signed, and all server requests to sign them are ignored.
• Prompt
  In this mode messages are not signed by default, but if server demands signing - you will be shown a pop-up screen where you can enable signing for one session.
• On Demand
  Similar to prompt mode, but instead of showing pop-up screen signing will just be enabled automatically as soon as server demands it.
