# This value is used in commands.
key="carbon:global"
# Chat formats for this channel.
format {
    # Basic chat formats.
    # "default_format" is the main format for editing.
    # "console" is the format for console.
    # "discord" is the format for Discord integrations.
    # Keys are group names, values are chat formats (MiniMessage).
    basic {
