Branding and editable message formatting are present in development source, but no stable release is published from `main` yet.
Make chat show SkelmMC#
Keep the internal plugin ID Skelmsentials so plugin folders and data stay compatible. In plugins/Skelmsentials/config.yml, configure:
branding:
name: 'SkelmMC'
prefix: '<gradient:#00BFFF:#8A2BE2><bold>{server}</bold></gradient> <dark_gray>»</dark_gray> '
The token {server} becomes SkelmMC. MiniMessage supports normal colours, HEX values and gradients.
Change player-facing messages#
Player command messages belong in plugins/Skelmsentials/messages.yml. Example:
messages:
teleport-start: '<yellow>Teleporting in {seconds} seconds. Please stand still.</yellow>'
teleport-cancelled: '<red>Teleport cancelled.</red>'
reload: '<green>{server} configuration reloaded.</green>'
This lets you change text without recompiling the plugin. The source also defines player-facing feedback for homes, warps, requests, RTP cooldowns, currency and game-mode actions.
Some message templates use placeholders such as {seconds}, <player> and <home>. Preserve each template's required placeholders when changing it.
Reload and upgrading#
Use /skelmsentials reload or /bc reload for supported configuration and message changes. The beta READMEs state that customized messages.yml is retained on upgrades and missing message keys can fall back to bundled defaults. Back up your existing files before an upgrade.
The 1.3 beta also migrates older default branding and changes the Utilities Repair icon to a Mace while retaining other custom icon settings.
