About ✏️ Iridescent ✏️ 1.16.x - Add new/hex colors to your server - Supports gradients
From SpigotMCAllows the usage of ANY text color, anywhere.
Thanks to ProtocolLib, this plugin is able to intercept information sent out by other plugins and modifies it before it gets delivered to players. If part of that information sent out is text including a specific set of characters, that text's color will be changed.
For example, if a line of text on a scoreboard begins with a tag “<@lilac>”, the text’s color will change based on the hex color code you assign to that tag.
For more information, read through Iridescent's wiki!
- Color Tags: These can be created in the colors.yml file. They can be used on scoreboards, tablists, items, boss-bars, MOTD, titles, chat. Great for colors which are used often.
To use these, write them in this format <@tag-name> (e.g. <@fuchsia>). - Hex Color Codes: These can be used in place of tags. Best used for one-time-use colors.
To use these, write them in this format <#hexcode> (e.g <#ff00ff>). - Gradient Tags: They can be used anywhere color tags can be.
They are written in one of the two formats <[email protected]> and <$#hexcode>. A line of text needs to begin and end with a gradient tag in order for the fading to take place (e.g. <[email protected]>example<[email protected]>). - Supports Most Plugins: Due to the way Iridescent works, color tags and hex color codes can be used in lots of plugins.
- In-Game Tag Creation: Color tags can be handled without opening any configuration file, with the usage of commands.
- Permission based chat colors: Based on the permissions a player has, they can use any or specific colors in chat.
"irid.chatcolor.color-tag-name" for specific color tags, or "irid.chatcolor.hex" for any color.
For gradients, there is the "irid.chatcolor.gradient" permission. - Multi-Language Support
