ColorChat Plugin

A simple Minecraft plugin that adds color to player chat messages based on their username.

Features

• Automatically assigns a unique color to each player based on their username
• Colors persist across server restarts
• Simple and lightweight
• No configuration needed
• Command to randomize your chat color

Installation

1. Download the latest version of the plugin
2. Place the jar file in your server's plugins folder
3. Restart your server

How it works

The plugin assigns colors to players based on a hash of their username. This means:

• Each player gets a consistent color
• The same player will always get the same color
• Colors are distributed evenly among players

Commands

• /saltcolor - Randomize your chat color (requires permission)

Permissions

• colorchat.salt - Allows players to use the /saltcolor command

Setting up permissions with LuckPerms

If you're using LuckPerms, you can set up the permissions with the following commands:

# Give the permission to all players
/lp group default permission set colorchat.salt true

# Or give the permission to a specific group
/lp group vip permission set colorchat.salt true

# Or give the permission to a specific player
/lp user <player> permission set colorchat.salt true
