Messages

Every message is in plugins/Punishment/lang/<language>.yml and uses MiniMessage formatting.

ban:
  announce: "<red><name> was banned by <staff> for <duration>: <reason>"
  screen: "<red>You are banned for <remaining><newline><gray><reason>"

Custom languages

1. Copy lang/en_US.yml to lang/<your-language>.yml.
2. Set language: <your-language> in config.yml.
3. Restart the server.

Keys missing from your file fall back to the bundled en_US.yml, so you only need to include what you change.

Placeholders

Which placeholders work depends on the message. The common ones are:

Placeholder	Meaning
<name>	The punished player
<staff>	The staff member (or console) issuing the action
<reason>	The reason, or the no-reason message
<duration>	The full punishment length
<remaining>	Time left on an active mute or ban
<id>	The punishment’s unique ID
<date>	When the punishment was issued

The history.* messages also provide <type>, <status>, <page>, <pages>, <previous>, <next>, <revoked-by> and <revoked-at>. The import.* messages provide <processed>, <total>, <imported>, <skipped> and <failed>.

Check the default en_US.yml to see which placeholders each message uses.
