Question Usage of color codes / hex

[Burglar]

Hello, How can i use color codes or hex in a more easier way instead of:

player.sendMessage(Component.text("test").color(NamedTextColor.COLOR));

Because in Spigot i used to use this:

public static String color(String text){


      return ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', text);


}


player.sendMessage(color("&fMessage"));

I don't think you meant to post this on the velocity plugin development forum? Velocity is a server proxy (like BungeeCord or Waterfall). So I moved it for you.

We encourage you to not use legacy text formatting with § or & and ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes. We encourage you to either just use Components to color text like Component.text("test", NamedTextColor.RED) or text("test", RED) with static imports (read these docs), OR use MiniMessage, which is a string representation of components (read these docs).
