Text Formation

Overview

nightcore advices you to use new style for your text colors and tags, similar to HTML ones: <tag>Text</tag>.

This makes your configuration files more clear and handy.

It's recommended to always close your tags when it's supposed to to avoid any possible issues due to tag clashes. However, this is not strict requirement and you should be fine anyway.

Support for legacy color codes (&1&l) will be dropped in near future.

Examples

Legacy Text: &aHello, &e&l%player_name%!

Modern Text: <green>Hello, <yellow><b>%player_name%</b>

It became a bit longer, but it's a way easy to read and maintain.
