Text formatting

Colors codes

As in most plugins, AM replaces & char to native Minecraft § color prefix. All text can be colorized. There is some examples below.

message: "&aSome &etext"

You can use this cheat sheet to get required color code.

RGB colors

Text can be colorized with RGB hex codes wrapped in <> brackets:

message: "<#00FF00>Some text"

This text will be colorized into green color.

RGB colors can also be combined with color codes. Example:

message: "<#00FF00>Some &etext"

MiniMessage format

Caution

Off by default. Enable in config.conf by setting useMiniMessage: true. The flag exists because MiniMessage parsing adds a per-render pass over every string; servers that don’t use MiniMessage skip the cost entirely.

MiniMessage is a tag-based text format — <red>, <rainbow>...</rainbow>, <gradient:#FF0000:#0000FF>, <click:run_command:/foo>, <hover:show_text:'tooltip'>, etc.

AbstractMenus supports MiniMessage in messages and in item name / lore. It also works in books. Items render only the visual MiniMessage features (colors, gradients, decorations); interactive features like <click> and <hover> work in chat messages only.

Example of using MiniMessage in message action:

message: "<hover:show_text:'<red>test'>TEST"

Example of using MiniMessage in item’s name and lore:

{
   slot: 0
   material: cake
   name: "<rainbow>Super Cake!</rainbow>"
   lore: [
      "",
      "<yellow>Eat <blue>me!"
   ]
}
