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.

I see one nice plugin :(
I am trying to change the color of my chat only but it keeps saying 'That is an invalid command!'.
The command I am using - /chatcolor Citrus 6
Are self colors broken or am I doing something wrong?
I'm only able to change the entire servers chat with /chatcolor <color>.

Thank you all for your support!
I will be continuing development shortly :)
EDIT: @DarkShadow13FTW Yeah I've just found this. Will fix ASAP.
@CutieVamptootie
It may be just you, lol. Are you using this on 1.10.2?
Feature Request:
It would be awesome if you could open and GUI up, to select the color and the style of font you want!
Other than that, it works great on Spigot 1.10.2 without issues. Thank you for this great plugin!
Is it just me or is it not working on 1.10? Would really like to use this plugin! :)
@Platinumfamilie
This is a nice idea:
A command that shows what colors you have available to you. I will add this when I can :)
@buzzplayz
Someone recently made a video on my plugin, you can find it in the description now :)
I have an issue with the /chatcolor cmdhelp command. It gives me a message saying "That is an invalid command!"
@buzzplayz
Read the commands first... But here it is /chatcolor [player] <color> [modifiers]
The square brackets are optional the "carrots" are required.
yo honestly all i need is a link to a vid or a command to give someone else the color
Hi, is it normal that the configuration file gets rid of what I write every time the plugin reloads? I'd like to set the rainbow sequence to a better one but it does not consider me... I was also just trying to easily change the default color to 7 but always regardless...
Your title here... ======can you pleas make that the plugin know wich colors you have like you got a color out a crate and you want to switch between the colors you have found
like a user file that known wich colors you have got example: a staff make my color white and another staff makes it blue and i want white and that file know wich colors my name previusly had and give me acces to switch between the 2 colors
Thank you so much for a massive 30,000 downloads!!
@zfyre
Thanks for the support, however I will not be allowing changing of the prefix as then no one will know it is my plugin. Think of it as a tiny amount of advertisement ;) If you desperately want a custom prefix add me on Skype: mariolord640 and we can discuss.
In terms of the help messages, I don't really see any point in doing so, and it would take a while to do so unless multiple people (as in about 10 commenters) want me to do so, I won't.
Thanks,
Sulphate <3
It's a cool plugin but I think you should make it so we can edit the messages more, like the prefix and the /chatcolor help messages. Other than that, it's an amazing plugin
Hello!
Just to let you know, the next update will take another day, as it was a bit harder than expected :P May also add Metrics Lite for statistics.
@DarkShadow13FTW
I could, yes, but then for people who don't know what that is / don't know how to edit it etc, it would not be much use :P Settings like this aren't too hard to add :P But thanks anyway for reminding me :)

@Sulphate
You could add an alias in the plugin.yml instead of going through the hassle of adding that setting.
I am aware there are currently some issues with the version I released, I am working hard to patch them, hopefully new version up in an hour or so.
