TRC: ColoredChat

A lightweight Paper plugin that lets players use Minecraft color and formatting codes in chat while keeping the default Paper chat behavior intact.

Features

• Supports all classic Minecraft color codes (&0 - &f)

• Supports formatting codes:

  • &k Obfuscated
  • &l Bold
  • &m Strikethrough
  • &n Underlined
  • &o Italic
  • &r Reset

• Supports hex colors (&#RRGGBB)

• No configuration required

• No commands

• No permissions

• Lightweight and dependency-free

Compatibility

ColorChat does not replace or format the chat itself.

It only modifies the player's message using Paper's Adventure API, leaving the default Paper chat and other plugins untouched whenever possible.

This makes it highly compatible with plugins such as:

• LuckPerms
• EssentialsXChat
• ChatControl
• VentureChat
• DiscordSRV
• and many more

&aHello

Output:

Green Hello
