Update coming soon!
Why is this resource Premium when there is a free version?
ChatColor+ is a Project
that has existed for over 4 years now with more than 50.000 downloads. It's one of my first plugins which is why the code is really messed up. The problem was that, back then, I had no clue about coding and I released a version which only included a /ChatColor command. Many features were requested since then which made the code even messier because my planning and structuring did not include these.
My only motivation over the years to work on this project were the nice Spigot community and a donation from @NullBlox.
However, these days, I'm not into Minecraft anymore and the free version has alot of bugs and features requested. It got so messed up over the years that it is nearly impossible to fix all the bugs. So I decided to recode it and fix them while adding new features along the way.
ChatColor+ has been free since I posted it and I dont want to change that, so I've decided to keep it and instead post this new, updated version. This way I can earn something for my work and people who can't spend money for it will still be able to use the old version. It may not work anymore and will no longer be supported/updated.
Users with the correct Permissions can choose their own ChatColor, NameColor, TabColor, SignColor and Font via a GUI.
Right clicking a Color in the GUI will let them mix it with another color!
The plugin also supports MySql, if you have multiple Servers, it will enable your players to keep their colored name on each one if desired.
You can also create custom unicode fonts and let your players choose which they prefer.
There is a Command for every feature to set/remove/get the Players Color/fonts.
Every item in the GUI's and messages are editable in configs!
Features that are different from the free version:
- Working MySql support
- Fonts
- /<color> setColorString <Player>
- /<color> help
- Mix colors multiple times
- Less bugs/faster code
- Sign Color
- Better API
- Compatible with more Chat plugins
- More permission based
- Working with Minecraft 1.12 and above
- Supporting PlaceholderAPI
- Reload command
More details below
To use this plugin, your users simply need to use /chatcolor, /font, /namecolor, /tabcolor, /signcolor and select a Color.
Left clicking the desired color in the GUI will select it.
Right clicking will mix the colors if they have the Permissions to do so.
The color will change depending on what they've chosen. For example:
PlaceholderAPI
ChatColorPlusPremium_chat_color -> gives chatcolor of the player
ChatColorPlusPremium_chat_color_name -> gives the name of the players color
Instead of "chat" you can also use: sign, name, tab !
for font: ChatColorPlusPremium_font
/<color> - Open the color GUI

/<color> remove <Player> - Remove the current color of a Player

Change the color of a Player to a given String. For example /ChatColor setColorString &4&l Chemmic will make Chemmic's chat color dark red and Bold. You can mix colors with this feature via the command.
<color> can be replaced with : ChatColor, SignColor, NameColor, TabColor and font (font doesnt have setColorString command).
<ColorName> can be replaced with: Black, dark_blue, dark_green, dark_aqua, dark_red, dark_purple, gold, gray, dark_gray, blue, green, aqua, red, light_purple, yellow, white, magic, bold, strikethrough, underline and italic.

<Color>.MixColor.multiply.all - Example: NameColor.mixcolor.multiply.all will allow the user to mix his color multiply times with all colors.
8 Config files will be generated.
ChatConfig, FontConfig, NameConfig, SignConfig and TabConfig. They will all include the same content. However, you may want to treat each color differently.
new in version 1.2:
The ColorConfig file will only save all the data from the players if MySql is not active. You should NOT touch it if you're not 100% aware of what you are doing.
In the generalconfig file, you can edit thins such as prefix and the message if you don't have permissions to use a command.
The MySql file and Font file will be explained below.
Fonts are a new feature of the Premium resource.
You can create fonts in the FontConfig file and let players choose from them.
You can also set custom Permissions the user needs so it will show up in the font GUI.
Here is an example of the ExampleFont with a ChatColor selected:
FontConfig:
You can create your own unicode fonts with Permissions needed and as what item it will show up in the GUI.
Just copy/paste the Default font and change what you want to create a new one.
If you are looking for some example fonts, I recomment this:
copy/paste the small and big letters and you are good to go!
NOTE: It might look like this when you open the config with notepad++:
but it should still look fine ingame!
If you want to save the data in a MySql database instead of a File
just change the MySqlConfig ACTIVE to true and put the information from the database in the file.
If the plugin can connect to the database it will be used. Otherwise the plugin will continue saving the data in files.

Code:
[LEFT]You can use:
ChatColorPlus.setColor(ColorEnum, Player, String colorCode, String colorName);
To set a player's Color for example, use ColorEnum.CHATCOLOR to change the users chatcolor.
Color code is for example &6 for dark red and colorname would in this case be dark_red. If you're mixing a color like &6&l, then use this as colorcode and the colorname as whatever you name your creation. Tip: Put the same colorcode there if you have no specific name.
ChatColorPlus.getColor(ColorEnum, Player);
This will return a String with the colorcode of the Players ColorEnum color.
ChatColorPlus.getColorName(ColorEnum, Player);
This will return a String with the colorname of the Players ColorEnum color
ChatColorPlus.getPrefix();
Returns a String with the prefix the server owner choose for chatcolor+[/LEFT]
