description: "Play 0x1F, server → client."

`play` · `0x1F` · **clientbound** (server → client)

Tells the client to remove a previously received signed chat message, identified by the message `id` or its `signature`. The server sends it when a message is deleted, for example by moderation. The client replaces the message with a 'This chat message has been deleted' notice.

Sent by the server, read by the client. Listen for it with `client.on("DeleteChat", (data) => …)` on the receiving side.

## Fields

| Field | Type | Notes |

## Send it

```ts
await client.sendPacket("DeleteChat", {
  id: /* VarInt */,
  signature: /* Struct */,
});
```

Field aliases listed under Notes are accepted as alternative keys when writing.
