Messages

Almost all the messages inside of Plex are fully customizable. This page will document how to change messages in the messages.yml file inside the Plex folder.
Default file

The default messages.yml file is below.
# Plex Messages File
# This file uses the MiniMessage system.
# Documentation available at https://docs.adventure.kyori.net/minimessage/format.html

# Messages in here will be placed in for certain commands, actions, etc.
# Warning: not all commands have customizable messages

MiniMessage

The messages.yml file uses MiniMessage for coloring messages. For example, writing <aqua>, will color the text aqua. This is not like HTML, and you should not close the tag (</aqua>). There are some special functions as well, such as <rainbow>. The default color will be gray. For a complete guide on using MiniMessage, visit: https://docs.advntr.dev/minimessage/format.html.
Troubleshooting

If you receive No message. when executing a command, it is likely you need to regenerate your messages.yml file. The default configuration file is also available on GitHub. As of Plex 0.6 (Beta 6), your messages.yml file should automatically update with new entries.
