+settings:
+    staffchat-prefix: '&c[StaffChat]&f'

+- Staff chat prefix, should be obvious
+- Toggle alert, this sends the player a message letting them know staff chat is toggled upon joining.
+- 'displayNamesStaffChat' - if you want any custom display name you have set or just their raw username displayed
+- 'displayNamesPublicChat' - same thing.
+- Public chat prefix, ideally you want to make this match the thing you have on your server.
+
 ### commands
 - `/staffchat`, `/sc` - type in the staff chat
 - `/staffchattoggle`, `/sct` - toggle the staff chat on/off
