Solved § sign not working for Chatcolor

Why does the "§" symbol not work for my bukkit plugin? When a text which is supposed to have color it outputs a "?" and then the text. View attachment 24854

 

Use the ChatColor enum.

 

You need to save the java files as UTF-8 or it may not work properly
or use the ChatColor enums
or ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', "&8[&aLogo&8] &7Das ist irgendein text")

 

Or just use ChatColor.color

 

Use this function in your code:

Code:java

public String parseColors(String s) {
  return s.replace("§", "\u00a7");
}

And then use it in your code like this:

Code:java

player.sendMessage(parseColors("§aBeautiful colors §f§l:D"));

 

Thanks! Intellj doesn't do this auto.... What a bummer
