MineDown-adventure

A library that adds the ability to use a MarkDown inspired markup to write Minecraft chat components!

It provides a custom mark up syntax which is loosely based on MarkDown that adds the ability to use the full power of component messages with the same simplicity as legacy formatting codes. (Which it can still support!) It also includes a way to directly replace placeholders in the messages, both string based and component based ones!

This requires the kyori-adventure chat API so you need to provide one of the platform libraries in your project in order to use these messages! See this plugin for a simple implementation.

How to use it

The library's main API access is through the MineDown.class and its parse methods.

E.g. you can use it like this in your Bukkit plugin:

BukkitAudiences.create(plugin).player(player).sendMessage(new MineDown(rawMessage).replace(replacements).toComponent());

or with a static approach:

BukkitAudiences.create(plugin).player(player).sendMessage(MineDown.parse(rawMessage, replacements));

Take a look at the MineDown JavaDocs for more detailed info on the library and the included classes.

Include it into your plugin

You can easily include this library into your plugin by using maven. Make sure to relocate it into your plugin's package!

Legacy BungeeCord-chat library

The original BungeeCord-chat library is no longer maintained and has been replaced by this adventure implementation. If you need to still use the legacy version (found on the legacy branch), you can include it like this:

<dependencies>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>de.themoep</groupId>
        <artifactId>minedown</artifactId>
        <version>1.7.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
        <scope>compile</scope>
    </dependency>
</dependencies>

Alternative to shading

Alternatively you can also directly depend on my MineDownPlugin instead of shading in this library! MineDownPlugin includes a non-relocated version of this library.
