Alternative Messages ​

In additional to sending messages to chat in the typical boring way, we offer numerous possibilities to spice things up and give your server a fresh breath!

The following information mostly applies to localization/messages_en.yml, but you'll also find it working many other places where you send messages, throughout the plugin.

Multiline Messages ​

In your localization file, you can turn any message into a list to send it over multiple lines:

Multiline message example

Outside of localization file, and for those places where this does not work, you can use the \n operator, or this syntax:

Alternative multiline syntax

In Messages, you can use a syntax like that:

Centering Messages With <center> ​

Many places you can simply put <center> in front of a message to make it automatically centered. Make sure to surround the message with "" or '' quotes:

Centered message example

Sending Messages With <actionbar>, <toast>, <title> and <bossbar> ​

You can also prefix your messages using one of the prefixes above to send it through the following means:

  • Action Bar (MC 1.8.8+) prefixing your message with <actionbar>
  • Boss Bar (MC 1.9+) prefixing your message with <bossbar>
  • Toast (MC 1.12+) prefixing your message with <toast>
  • Title (MC 1.7.10+) - prefixing your message with <title>. To send title and subtitle, split the message with "|"

Tip

At this time, further customizations such as boss bar color/style, toast icon or title speeds are not available.

Image Message ​

Currently, if you drop png or jpg images to your images/ folder in ChatControl, you can show them using "/chc announce image" command. Combining this with the | letter to make multiline message, you can end up with excellent messages like these:

[JSON] ​

Finally, for the geeks out there, you can start a message with [JSON] to send raw json code to the player. See JSON for how it's done.
