+# Notifications Configuration
+# Controls how punishment notifications are delivered to staff and players
+#
+# Each notification event can specify delivery channels:
+#   chat: true/false - Send via chat message (default: true)
+#   actionbar: true/false - Send via action bar (disappears after a few seconds)
+#   title: true/false - Send via title/subtitle overlay
+#   sound: '' - Sound to play (empty to disable). Use Minecraft sound names e.g. entity.experience_orb.pickup
+#
+# Title settings (only used when title: true):
+#   titleFadeIn: ticks for fade in (20 ticks = 1 second)
+#   titleStay: ticks to stay on screen
+#   titleFadeOut: ticks for fade out

+#   actionbar: true/false - Send via action bar (disappears after a few seconds)
