    I'm currently running my Minecraft Server with CentOS and ever since 1.3.1 a lot of plugins are using § symbol for color codes which sucks cause CentOS isn't able to read it for some reason, it changes it to & id there any way to allow CentOS to read this symbol, as the plugins do not support the standard Minecraft Color Code Symbol.

    Thanks

    CentOS is more than capable of reading that character...

    Inside the code for plugins, I always see §, but I always use & in-game ... (how do you even create that symbol ... I copied pasted this one).

    You are supposed to use ChatColor.COLOR. Using § is BAD PRACTICE.

    *facepalm* I was talking about replacing colors like in colored signs or coloring chat. *facepalm*
    If I were to type &b + "string" , it wouldn't even work!

    Ya for example MCBans uses § but doesn't accept & as the color Sigh, When it runs in the Console its changed to & which makes Mcbans Unable to read it and the chat comes across &4(TEXT) instead of in color it actually says &4(TEXT)

    Reread your message a couple hundred times and then tell me, with a straight face, that you make any valid sense.

    Does it really matter if you have the color in console?

    The color is displayed in-game usually but currently in-game if i had mcbans set to
    §2[MCBANS] It should look like this [MCBANS]
    But instead it looks like this in-game &2[MCBANS]

    Also looking at
    http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Formatting_codes
    They are showing the § symbol as the color code :/

    I'm saying in other DEVELOPERS' CODE (devs) I see the § sign used! I have always used the & sign. Is there anything complicated in that!!!

    And btw, to me, I made sense! You just mis-understood me!


    Ablac, do you understand what I'm saying?

    MCBans should replace a color character for you, so in the configurations you will only need to use an '&', not the special symbol.

    Ya :/ So not sure what to do, I would love to ditch MCbans but we have other plugins that link through it.

    prefix: §4[§2Aerinia Law§4]§9

    I would suggest taking it up with the plugin developer, as it seems more like a bug then a problem with CentOS.

    I've been using CentOS for years, and I can assure you it has no problem reading the character. The issue lies within SnakeYaml and its non-printable character range.

    Edit: There's a fix for it in SnakeYaml 1.11, due to be released soon I believe.

    SnakeYaml? I'm assuming that's a CentOS Dependency, how do i check my version/install it. My CentOS is running without a desktop Session so its all SSH commands.

    SnakeYaml is used by Bukkit, it's up to them to keep it up to date.

    What version of Java is your CentOS running?

    Cause we tested CentOS with Java and it worked, but my servers running OpenJDK and the Symbol isnt working.
