#### chat.length()

Returns the count of text extras and child ChatMessages
Does not count recursively in to the children

#### chat.append(ChatMessage)

#### chat.clone()

Returns a clone of the ChatMessage

```js
const registry = require('prismarine-registry')('1.16')
const { MessageBuilder } = require('prismarine-chat')(registry)

const msg = new MessageBuilder().setText('Example chat mesasge')
console.log(JSON.stringify(msg)) // The string as a message component

```

#### static ChatMessage.fromNotch(msg)

Returns a prismarine-chat representation of the message recieved from the 'chat' packet, example shown [here](examples/minecraftprotocol_fromnotch/fromnotch.js)

#### static ChatMessage.fromNetwork(messageType, messageParameters)
