So on my server, we are looking for a way to give players and staff colored chat for each group. For example, Default would have &7 for chat, Mods would have &b, Admins &c, and Owners &d. However, I tried formatting this in the Essentials config under the Chat section with each group, and I can't seem to get it going correctly. Is there a plugin that simply adds color to chat for each group so that your actual chat is colored that by default? The bland white is eye-straining. We like EssentialsChat in every other aspect, so we're looking for a way to keep the actual plugin active, but just add color to each group's chat. If there is a way to do this IN the essentials config, would you kindly share the method? If not, is there a plugin that just adds color to every group that can work alongside EssentialsChat? In case it's any help, I will post what we have in our Essentials config under the EssentialsChat section if anyone can help find out what the problem is. ---------- ############################################################# +------------------------------------------------------+ # # | EssentialsChat | ## +------------------------------------------------------+ ############################################################# chat: # If EssentialsChat is installed, this will define how far a player's voice travels, in blocks.

This is technically meant to be a plugin request because I can't find any plugins updated to 1.6 that have what I'm looking for.
