An increasing number of plugins are adopting the new MiniMessage standard and no longer support legacy color codes. However, this is inconvenient for many PlaceholderAPI placeholders, as they continue to use the old color codes. This plugin automatically translates the old color codes into MiniMessage for all placeholders.
To do this, simply add legacycolorfix_ before your placeholder.
For example:
%player_level_colored% -> %legacycolorfix_player_level_colored%
&a17 -> <green>17
