Colored console messages

How would I change the color of messages that show up in console?

 

Pretty sure if you just concat with a ChatColor enum it works?

 

oh alright i was under the impression it was much more complicated from remembering past threads

hmm i did this wrong on startup it give no errors but instead of a colored message it puts a "degree" symbol and the letter "b" in front of it

Code:

@Override
    public void onEnable() {
        PluginDescriptionFile pdfFile = this.getDescription();   
        this.logger.info(ChatColor.AQUA + pdfFile.getName() + " Version " + pdfFile.getVersion() + " Has been enabled");
        PluginManager pm = getServer().getPluginManager();
        pm.registerEvents(this, this);
   
        getConfig().options().copyDefaults(true);
        saveConfig();
 
    }

Try just with & and a code in front of it. I don't think it's that complicated.

 

The color code is actually the section symbol '§'. People just use '&' because it is similar.

Perhaps you have "-nojline" enabled on your server? It's not related to your code, but to your OS and server setup.

 

how would i check that? obviousely through cmd prompt but

 

If you're running it through start.bat, look for -nojline.

Oh, and can we get a screenshot?

 

Send a message to the console message sender instead of the server logger. It'll support the colors.

Code:

Bukkit.getServer().getConsoleSender().sendMessage(ChatColor.GOLD + "Golden message!" + ChatColor.RESET);
