 You are also able to clear on server swap, which may be useful to some users. Read the configuration for more info. Default configuration can be found here:
 
 ```hocon
+# Velocity Clear Chat Configuration
+# This file contains settings for the chat clearing plugin.
+# Modify these values as needed.
+#
+# If there is a message, you can set it to "" to disable it, you can use MiniMessage too.
+
 # If velocity returns invalid information, this message will be displayed.
 chat-clear-failed-message="<red>Failed to get server info</red>"
+
 # The message to send when the chat is cleared by an admin.
 # You can use <player> if you would like to display who cleared the chat.
 chat-cleared-message="<green>Chat has been cleared by an admin</green>"
+
 # On player swap, should we clear the chat history?
 clear-on-server-swap=true
-# The message to display if "clear-on-server-swap" is enabled, set to "" to disable it.
+
+# The message to display if "clear-on-server-swap" is enabled
 clear-on-server-swap-message=""
+
 # The permission an admin needs to clear the chat.
 clear-permission="lncvrt.velocityclearchat.clear"
+
 # The number of lines the chat clearer will send.

 ```

+**If you are wondering why this *velocity plugin* is not supported on BungeeCord/Waterfall, WaterFall is EOL and BungeeCord is obsolete. Velocity is the best server proxy solution out there at the moment.**
