ColorfulNames Changelog

v1.2.0-Alpha

Chat text color (separate from name color)

• Separate chat color storage — player data adds chat-code (YAML / SQLite / MySQL), independent from name code
• Preset / gradient config — default/colors.yml supports chat_code, start_chat / end_chat (and middle_chat); not shown in GUI, for placeholders and chat plugins
• Auto-lighten fallback — when chat_code is unset and the player has not set a custom chat color, chat color is derived by lightening the name code ~25%
• Commands
  • /namecolor chat <code> — set chat color only
  • /namecolor chat reset — clear custom chat color (back to preset mapping / auto-lighten)
  • /namecolor chat preset <id> — apply a preset’s chat_code (or lighten from preset code if unset)
  • /namecolor setchat <player> <code> — admin set
• Config — config.yml → default-color-chat; world-default-colors.worlds-chat; special-dates.yml → chat_code; optional chat_code on permission default colors
• PlaceholderAPI
  • %colorfulnames_code_chat% / %colorfulnames_code_tr_chat% / %colorfulnames_legacy_code_chat%
  • %colorfulnames_code_tr% — TR-style name code (gradients <g:#...>, solid &{#RRGGBB})
