Messages, Formatting, and Placeholders
AtlasLobby keeps player-facing text in messages.yml and feature config files. The
same formatting and placeholder systems are used across menus, items, scoreboard lines,
titles, actionbars, and more.
Chat Prefix
The message prefix is set in messages.yml:
prefix: "&8[<gradient:#55ccff:#8ae6ff>AtlasLobby</gradient>&8] &r"
settings:
prefix-chat: trueSet prefix-chat: false to stop automatically prepending the prefix to messages sent
through the message service.
Formatting
Supported where practical:
| Format | Example |
|---|---|
& color codes | &bHello |
§ color codes | §bHello |
| Hex colors | 7ccffHello |
| Gradients | <gradient:#55ccff:#8ae6ff>text</gradient> |
| Rainbow | <rainbow>text</rainbow> |
| Rainbow with saturation | <rainbow:0.8>text</rainbow> |
| Basic MiniMessage-style tags | <red>, <green>, <bold>, <reset> |
Gradients support two or more color stops.
Do not nest a gradient inside another gradient. The inner tag will be treated as literal text.
PlaceholderAPI
If PlaceholderAPI is installed, AtlasLobby resolves PlaceholderAPI placeholders in configurable text.
If PlaceholderAPI is not installed, AtlasLobby still works.
