Warning for new Users
This plugin is undergoing a full rewrite for the V2 which will introduce a lot of new features and fix bugs. Stay tuned. Support for newer versions will still be added to V1 until V2 releases.
Runway allows you to support MiniMessage formatting in messages, menus, titles, items and Tablist from any plugin. The plugin works at the protocol-level and modifies incoming packets sent by plugins.
If enabled, PlaceholderAPI/MiniPlaceholders is also supported in messages parsed by Runway. You also have the option to add your own static custom placeholders in MiniMessage.
Installation
Requirements
Server:
Plugins:
- PlaceholderAPI (Optional)
- MiniPlaceholders (Optional)
How to use
By default, to allow MiniMessage formatting in your messages, you need to include the prefix [mm] inside the line, there is no specific requirement if it needs to be in the front, back or middle of the sentence.
This can also be disabled in the config.yml which will make all incoming packets to be formatted using MiniMessage.
PlaceholderAPI/MiniPlaceholders support uses the prefix [p] to detect when it should parse placeholders. The same rules of MiniMessage formatting apply here.
You can also make system messages be sent in the action bar by including the prefix [actionbar] in the message.
Commands:
/runway reload- Reloads the plugin configuration./runway parse <text>- Parses the given text to MiniMessage.
