Questions & reference

Which text format should I choose?

Choose a format accepted by your specific plugin. MiniMessage and &#RRGGBB codes are not interchangeable. Older servers may not support RGB.

Does vanilla server.properties support RGB gradients?

The vanilla MOTD does not accept plugin gradients. The MOTD tab produces a compatible line with legacy colors and Unicode escapes. RGB needs a suitable plugin.

How do I install a DeluxeMenus menu?

Save the generated YAML in the plugin’s gui_menus folder and register the file in config.yml. Check your server’s available materials and commands. This site does not install plugins or grant permissions.
