Advanced Chat Formatter (ACF)

Advanced Chat Formatter (ACF) is an ultra-lightweight, high-performance chat rendering solution built for modern Paper networks. It seamlessly bridges the gap between old-school server configurations and modern UI styling frameworks, allowing full cross-compatibility without breaking a sweat.

Features

• MiniMessage: Full compatibility with modern tags like <✨>, <gradient:#ff0000:#00ff00>, <bold>, and <italic>.
• Legacy Codes: Out-of-the-box support for classic standard ampersand styling (&a, &l, etc.).
• Hex RGB Formats: Automatically translates standard community color strings like &#ff5555 and {#ff5555} into modern formats.
• LuckPerms Meta Injection Automatically hooks into LuckPerms to pull and display user group metadata, dynamically injecting player prefixes and suffixes cleanly into the chat layout.
• Async Event Execution Built entirely on Paper's modern AsyncChatEvent API. By offloading chat text parsing completely from the main server thread, ACF guarantees maximum performance and 0 TPS lag even on masive servers.

Configuration

ACF keeps things completely customizable and straightforward with a lightweight config.yml.

# Placeholders: {name}, {displayname}, {message}, {world}, {prefix}, {suffix}
default-format: "{prefix}{displayname}{suffix}<dark_gray> »<reset> {message}"

messages:
  no-permission: "<red>You do not have permission to run this command."
