Download the plugin JAR and drop it in the plugins/ directory of your Minecraft server.

Any message starting with the greater-than sign, >, is made green, whilst any message ending with the opposite < is made orange.
Players can avoid making anything starting with > green by prepending a space, i.e. >, or by using /greentext [on|off].

Configuration

To avoid automatic greenification of angry emotions, e.g. >:C, or Japanese-style emoticons such as >_>, exceptions for : and _ are specified in the config file. Custom exceptions are allowed as well, naturally.

Greentext can be either enabled or disabled upon startup. In the case the parameter enabled-by-default is set true, each player must manually enable the plugin with /greentext on. Additionally, orangetext, an obscure feature used probably once, can be disabled via config.

If you want to take advantage of 1.16’s full RGB support and use 4chan-accurate colors in chat, set use-hex-colors as true.

Permissions

If check-for-permissions is set true in the config file, give players the desired permissions to enable use of the plugin:

• greentext.chat.*: all features
• greentext.chat.green: greentext
• greentext.chat.orange: orangetext
• greentext.toggle: toggle ability to use features
• greentext.toggle.others: toggle others' ability to use features
