Every good tutorial starts with a "Hello, World!" application. Let's create that JSON message!
The base class for creating JSON messages is JsonMsg.
Construct it with the appropriate text and color:
Notice that we specified the color using the JsonColor enum.
Also, see how we only put half of the text into the JsonMsg? That's because we want the other half to be another color, and italic. Let's see how that's done:
We'll first create the second half, but this time use the constructor JsonMsg(String, ChatColor...). It styles the message with all styles specified as ChatColors.
To add another JsonMsg to an existing one, use JsonMsg#append(JsonMsg) or JsonMsg#append(/* arguments from any constructor are valid */):
All this could also be simplified to:
There is another super easy way to create JSON messages:


Changing the color and styling of a JsonMsg could also not be simpler:
The corresponding values can be retrieved with the same method (except #style(ChatColor)), without arguments.
Tip: All methods that would otherwise return void return the JsonMsg object itself, so you can chain them together:
Now, let's get to the fun stuff!


To show a text when the player hovers over msg, use any of these methods:
Of course, there are many more methods for showing items, achievements etc., and there is also the JsonClickEvent class.


Finally, we can send the message.
You can also use JsonMsg#send(Iterable<Player>) and JsonMsg#sendTitle(int, int, int, Player...).
Note: There are many more methods and tricks you can use, however, there are way too many to list them all here. Just experiment!
