Solved [HELP] Colored death messages not showing up colored

Hello guys,

I've run into yet another problem, apparently when trying to add custom colors to my death message code. The message registers fine, but it just doesn't have it's color.
Here's my code, I've tried many other tutorials and examples like this one, but they all make no effect on the color of the message. Here's my code!

Code:

     //Death chat customizing
    @EventHandler
    public void onPlayerDeath(PlayerDeathEvent event) {
   
        //gold colored death messages
        String msg = event.getDeathMessage();
        msg = ChatColor.GOLD + msg;
   
        //if killed by person,  else PVE
        if(event.getEntity().getKiller() instanceof Player) {
       
            event.setDeathMessage("[PVP] " + msg);
   
        }
        else {
       
            event.setDeathMessage("[PVE] " + msg);
        }
   
   
   
    }

Any help is appreciated!

@Peavalu Did you register your event(s)?

 

Why have you done:

String msg = e.getMessage();
msg = ChatColor.GOLD + msg;

?

 

Code:

event.setDeathMessage(null);
Bukkit.broadcast("[PVP]"+msg);

 

Thank you Webbeh, that seemed to be the solution!

 

I'm not sure whether you can actually color a death message triggered by Bukkit or not, I just use that solution that allows better grasp over the messages anyway : personnalized death messages, ability for players to choose if they want to see them or not, etc.
