Hex and Gradient Use

&#rrggbb - for red, green, blue as a hexadecimal value (0-9, A-F)
&#rrggbb:rrggbb - to make a gradient text

Everything is saved per player and persists across restarts.

Simple, flexible chat formatting

Chat output is fully configurable through the plugin’s config file.
You decide how chat should look using a simple format string like:

{prefix}{username}{suffix}: {message}

Prefixes and suffixes (such as ranks) are pulled directly from LuckPerms, so your chat always stays in sync with your permissions setup.

Easy-to-use commands

Players can quickly change their own chat style:

/chatcolor &b
/chatstyle &l
/chatgradient &#ff0000:00ff00

Admins can apply styles to other players when needed:

/chatcolor &b Username
/chatstyle &l Username
/chatgradient &#ff0000:00ff00 Username

Resetting is just as easy with clear or off.

Built with permissions in mind

MVPColorChat is designed around LuckPerms from the ground up:

Control who can use colors, styles, or gradients

Prefix and suffix support out of the box
