FancyFormatDock
📋• Info
While playing on servers like Modernbeta, I kept running into the same problem, constantly needing to look up chat formatting codes. That frustration sparked the idea for this mod. FancyFormatDock adds a simple dock to your chat screen. Just open chat, click a color button, and the formatting code is instantly inserted for you.
🔧• Features
dock-like button panel
When opening chat, an overlay at the top right appears. Clicking on a button will import the formatting code in chat. Format label can be toggled off in the config.
4 preset color buttons
Choose 4 custom colors and add them as a button to the button panel. Each button can be enabled/disabled.
custom color
By clicking on the + button, a menu pops up. Here you can pick a custom color and import it in chat!
custom gradient color
By clicking on the + button, a menu pops up, from there you can go to the gradient tab. You can pick 2 custom colors here, insert your message and hit Import! This will automaticly make your text have a gradient with the 2 colors you selected
quick show/hide button
By clicking this button, the button-like dock shows/hides.
Text prefix before a color prefix warning
1.21.1 version only When using text formatting (bold, italc...) before a color prefix, the color overrides the text formatting. Enable the warning in the config to get a warning!
