Tips format:

messages:
  <id>: <content>

id can be a number, or a string of letters (a-z upper or lower) or a mix of both.

content can be anything, but the plugin does not support hex color codes yet, so &<a-f,0-9> for now

Updating configuration

1. Copy the "messages" section of your current config
   
2. Make sure you don't lose that, you could upload it to a pastebin such as paste.helpch.at
3. Delete your current configuration file
4. Restart your server
5. Replace the messages section in the new config with your saved messages section.
6. If you have custom color codes you will also need to save those and manually change the values in the new config.
