About ChatColor+
From SpigotMCThis plugin allows your users with permissions to change the color in the chat!
With the release of Minecraft version 1.16, the use of Hex codes became possible. Since the original ChatColor+ was not designed for this, it was recreated in 2024. The old premium version is now available for free to the public. It has been tested up to Minecraft version 1.11 and offers more features than the previous ChatColor+. However, color creation and Hex codes are not supported in this version and are only available in the new ChatColor+ Premium version.
The documentation below is from the old Premium version, it will get updated in the next days!

Why is this resource Premium when there is a free version?
ChatColor+ is a Project
that has existed for over 8 years now with more than 200.000 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!
