Message Modification

The majority of the messages sent by the plugin can be edit via a messages.conf file in the configuration directory.

When the plugin is started up the file messages.reference.conf is written to the folder. This is the REFERENCE copy. By creating a messages.conf file in the same directory you can override any of the messages.

The file is in HOCON format and anything inside of messages.conf will override messages.reference.conf. Anything not found in messages.conf will fallback to messages.reference.conf so you should only use it to override what you need to.

You can check out the reference file here

Example 1

Change the 'success' colour of all commands (default is aqua). Both of the following are valid for overriding:

colours.command=${colours.gold}

{
  "colours" : {
    "command" : ${colours.gold}
  }
}

Example 2

Changing team coords command to not include the world name and change the prefix

By checking the reference we can see the default message is

"format" : ${colours.secondary}"[Team Coords] {{name}}: {{world}} {{x}}:{{y}}:{{z}}"

So we can override it like this:

commands.tc.format=${colours.secondary}"[TC] {{name}}: {{x}}:{{y}}:{{z}}
