Essentials language file

How i can edit the text of Essentials? (plugin)
Like changing the color of text​

 

@BlueCrafter12

Well, I believe the plugin is open source. You're welcome to download the source, modify it and build it yourself.

 

@mythbusterma any alternative to edit it? (i dont have java/eclipse)

 

@mythbusterma Yes Essentials is opensource.
Source: https://github.com/essentials/Essentials

@BlueCrafter12 You must code it yourself, or post a plugin request with the modifications of Essentials.

 

@Experminator i dont have edit software can i edit it on website or something easy no download?

 

@BlueCrafter12 Install a Java IDE like Eclipse (https://eclipse.org/downloads/). And you can edit it.

 

Essentials has some "messages_en.properties" type of files somewhere, I remember making a test server in my computer once and Essentials was in spanish, so you have to modify one of those properties file
@BlueCrafter12

 

@Konato_K It doesnt have that I think. It provides you with a setting in the config to set the language.


@BlueCrafter12 Use Winrar to open the jar. Then search for a messages file thats for English open that and edit that.
You can also try to use notepad++ to open the .class files and edit it.

 

@Funergy First point is right, the second point doesn't work.
Because .class files are compiled .java files.

It need to be decompiled to read it. I prefer to use jd-gui to decompile.

 

@Experminator You are right I was kind of off track when writing that post .

 

@Experminator @Funergy You don't need to edit any classes, just the language file. You do not need to decompile at all, just open it in a program such as WinRar.

 

@bwfcwalshy I said only to Funergy that class files must be decompiled to read.

 

It helps to actually look if you aren't sure:



they're plain-text files.

 

@1Rogue I actually checked the plugin jar, but I didn't know if they copy to the server plugins folder or not, and I didn't have a server at the time to check it.

 

Lol, You can just open the plugin jar with zip and change the language you can change colors of everything (messages too)

NVM, Already has been said

 

I think you should better read my posts fully...

 

Yes, immediately after saying the "messages_en.properties" didn't exist.

 

@Experminator Well its had 100+mb i cant download i got low connection
@Konato_K @Funergy Can i use notepad only to edit the message_en.properties?

 

@BlueCrafter12 You can use any text editor to edit that kind of files.

 

@1Rogue I said it doesnt contain that in the folder that gets created on the first use

 

@mythbusterma @Experminator @Konato_K @Funergy @bwfcwalshy @1Rogue @MordorKing78 Essentials has a feature to edit all of the messages. You don't even need to unzip/decompile/code anything. It's on their wiki. Just want all of you guys to know so you can tell people this if you see this question again, and so you can just give them this link.


@BlueCrafter12 Here is an official Essentials page that tells you exactly how to do it.
