Alternative Messages
In additional to sending messages to chat in the typical boring way, we offer numerous possibilities to spice things up and give your server a fresh breath!
The following information mostly applies to localization/messages_en.yml, but you'll also find it working many other places where you send messages, throughout the plugin.
In your localization file, you can turn any message into a list to send it over multiple lines:
Outside of localization file, and for those places where this does not work, you can use the \n operator, or this syntax:
In Messages, you can use a syntax like that:
Many places you can simply put <center> in front of a message to make it automatically centered. Make sure to surround the message with "" or '' quotes:
You can also prefix your messages using one of the prefixes above to send it through the following means:
- Action Bar (MC 1.8.8+)
- Boss Bar (MC 1.9+)
- Toast (MC 1.12+)
- Title (MC 1.7.10+) - to send title and subtitle, split the message with "|"
Currently, if you drop png or jpg images to your images/ folder in ChatControl, you can show them using "/chc announce image" command. Combining this with the | letter to make multiline message, you can end up with excellent messages like these:
Finally, for the geeks out there, you can start a message with [JSON] to send raw json code to the player. See JSON for how it's done.
