hytale-chat-formatting

Format Hytale chat messages by parsing TinyMessage strings into Hytale Message objects using PlayerChatEvent. This enables dynamic styling with colors, gradients, bold, italics, and clickable links for enhanced player communication.

TinyMessage is required for advanced rich text parsing like gradients and clickable links. Standard Java Message API can handle basic formatting, but TinyMessage enables the full dynamic styling capabilities within PlayerChatEvent.

Clickable links can be added directly into Hytale chat messages using the TinyMessage rich text library. This link integration works within PlayerChatEvent handling to enhance player communication and server announcements.

Intercept and modify incoming chat messages by handling PlayerChatEvent in your Hytale plugin. You can then apply custom rank prefixes, colors, or cancel the message entirely before it reaches other players.

Create vibrant server announcements by parsing TinyMessage strings with gradient tags, such as '<gradient:red:blue>Hello World!</gradient>', into Hytale Message objects to display rich text with dynamic color transitions.

Standard Java Message API supports basic formatting in Hytale, but advanced rich text features like gradients and clickable links require the TinyMessage library for proper parsing and styling.
