Hytale Color API 🎨

A lightweight and efficient library designed for Hytale mod developers to easily colorize chat messages. This API automatically parses standard Minecraft-style color codes (e.g., &a, &e, &c) into Hytale's native Message objects.

✨ Features

• Supports all standard Minecraft color codes (&0 - &f).
• Includes message reset code (&r) support.
• Fully compatible with the Hytale Message API.
• Extremely simple implementation and high performance.

📖 Usage Example

Simply call the ChatColor.parse() method to transform strings with color codes into Hytale Message objects.

import me.bartuabihd.hytaleutils.ChatColor;
import com.hypixel.hytale.server.core.universe.PlayerRef;

public class MyMod {
    public void welcomePlayer(PlayerRef player) {
        // Create a colorized string using & codes
        String text = "&d[Server] &aWelcome to the server, &e" + player.getName() + "!";

        // Parse and send as a Hytale Message object
        player.sendMessage(ChatColor.parse(text));
   }
}
