Not only that, but you can change the colors in the pattern to whatever you like.

Data Collection:

This plugin uses bStats to collect some statistics about usage of the plugin and sends them to https://bstats.org/. This can be disabled by changing 'stats' in the config.yml to false. The statistics sent include Version Demographics, Server/Player Statistics, Server Location, Operating System etc. The stats available to the public are Version Demographics, Server Location, Rank, Java Version and Global Statistics. These are viewable at https://bstats.org/plugin/bukkit/ChatColor2.

Color Selection GUI - This will be added, but it's not my top priority.

Hello. I'm getting an error that is also spamming my server log:

Could not pass event InventoryClickEvent to ChatColor2 v1.7.7

Is there something I can do to change this? I haven't changed any of the configs. I would also like to turn off this plugin's ability to print to the server logs if possible.

Thank you!

Hi, this is because of the same reason as the person below this comment. An update will be out soon.

Error messages are automatically printed to the console if not handled in the code. I will consider adding an option to turn off console messages, although the plugin rarely puts anything in there so I may not.

Thanks!

Hey MCSulphate big fan of your plugin but I'm getting a nasty error that's absolutely spamming my chat log. Happens every 3 seconds or so endlessly hoping you could help out. Im running spigot 1.14.2 with the following plugins, ChatColor2, Dynmap, SetHome, Sleepy, Veinminer, and WorldEdit.

This is the error it keeps spitting out at me:

Thanks for this - this is because the plugin is not supported on 1.14 yet. I'm just waiting on someone to do something, there will be an update out soon for this.

It's caused by the GUI, so if you use an earlier version of the plugin, you won't get this error. Otherwise, just tell people not to use the GUI.

Many thanks!

Thanks for the reply! I totally understand that it takes time to update everything when a new version of the game comes out!

With that said none of my players have used the GUI (mainly because I haven't told them they can). So is there any way I can temporarily disable to GUI completely to avoid the issue or would it just be better to use an earlier version of the plugin?

Thanks for all your time!

Thank you for your understanding :)

Unfortunately I didn't make a way to disable it - however you can just not give them permission to use it and then they cannot. Otherwise you can use an earlier version, although that may re-introduce bugs that I fixed in this patch.

I'll try and get the patch out as soon as I can.

Hi!

I'm not sure what you mean by 'disable the &'.. could you be a bit more specific? :P

No, there is no option for this - you need a permissions system for this plugin to function correctly.

Seems like this plugin isn's compatible with one of my plugins?

It won't change my chat color, though it says it changed it successfully it didn't actually change when I type in chat.

Server Version 1.13.2

- No errors

Chat plugin - DeluxeChat, LuckPerms permissions system.

I've never used DeluxeChat, but I would presume that is what is causing it. Try using the plugin without DeluxeChat to confirm this :)

I'm using EssentialsChat plugin, and I have one problem with ChatColor.

I really like the work you did, but there's an issue that driving me crazy:

Whatever settings I set, I can't write to global chat. To use global chat, I need to put "!" before my messages(Like, "!Hello everyone!"), but now your plugin sets "&f" before messages, so the chat doesn't work correctly.

Plugin version: 1 7 4

Sorry for my English, I'm non-English speaker, but thank you for your work. I hope I will get some answers.

Hey :)

Since this issue is only specific to the system you're using, I won't push an update to fix it. However, if you really want this fixed, contact me through DMs and I can sort a patch out for you.

P.S. Your english is great :)

Hey! :) There is a known bug at the moment when if you are using the 'rainbow' chat colour, you cannot use modifiers with it. It will be fixed in the next update. If that's not what you're trying to describe, please send a screenshot of the bug.

Many thanks!

I have been having an issue with your plugin lately. When new players join and they type something, their chat is prefixed by '&f'. All I need to do to fix it is to type '/chatcolor player f', however this is of course not a good solution as every new player will have the same problem.

I recently switched from Essentials Chat to Venture Chat to be able to create multiple chat channels, and I am pretty certain the issue lies with Venture Chat, as there was no issue when using Essentials Chat. Venture Chat has its own colors and I have set coloroverride to true in your config, but it still happens. Any idea why that is? Thanks!

I'm having the same problem but im using a dev version of essentialsx chat, however i dont thing its essentials thats the problem, I think its this plugin. this plugin for some reason does not like the & symbol, it just ignores it. which i suppose is fine even if an odd choice, however, this plugin has the default chat color, written in the config as '&f'. I changed it and that seemed to fix the problem momentarily but for some reason the plugin resets any changes to the config file making any changes meaningless.
