Players choose chat color in the message

I have a plugin that a fake join, fake leave, and a fake message, I want players to choose their colors in their fake messages, it just appears as &4 hi (or whatever I chose after &) instead of hi The only way to get colors, is by going into the console and typing "fakemsg §4 hi" to say hi in the chat. Here is my coding:

Code:

package me.tripl3_cats.fakechat;

import org.bukkit.Bukkit;
import org.bukkit.ChatColor;
import org.bukkit.command.Command;
import org.bukkit.command.CommandSender;
import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;

public class FakeChat extends JavaPlugin {
   
    public void onEnable() {
        Bukkit.getServer().getLogger().info("FakeChat enabled!");
    }
   
    public void onDisable() {
        Bukkit.getServer().getLogger().info("FakeChat disabled!");
    }
   
    public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command cmd, String CommandLabel, String[] args) {
            if(cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("fakejoin")) {
                if (!sender.hasPermission("fakechat.join")) {
                    sender.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "You do not have permission to perform this command!");
                    return true;
                }
                if (args.length == 0) {
                    sender.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "Please specify a name!");
                    return true;
                }
                Bukkit.getServer().broadcastMessage(ChatColor.AQUA + args [0] + ChatColor.YELLOW + " joined the game.");
        }
            if(cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("fakeleave")) {
                if (!sender.hasPermission("fakechat.leave")) {
                    sender.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "You do not have permission to perform this command!");
                    return true;
                }
                if (args.length == 0) {
                    sender.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "Please specify a name!");
                    return true;
                }
                Bukkit.getServer().broadcastMessage(ChatColor.AQUA + args [0] + ChatColor.YELLOW + " left the game.");
        }
            if(cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("fakemsg")) {
                if (!sender.hasPermission("fakechat.msg")) {
                    sender.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "You do not have permission to perform this command!");
                    return true;
                }
                StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
                for(int i = 0; i < args.length; i++){
                sb.append(args[i]).append(" ");
                }

                Bukkit.broadcastMessage(sb.toString());
            }
        return true;
    }
       
}

look for the parts under the /fakemsg command. That is my coding for /fakemsg

 

Use ChatColor#translateAlternateColorCodes('&', yourString)
