Advanced colored message StringBuilder class

This simple class allows developers to write colour-rich messages easier, without long lines. It also adds simplicity, since the function name covers the colour of the String expression inside.

Code:

import org.bukkit.ChatColor;

public class Message {
    private StringBuilder _builder;
    Message() {
        this._builder = new StringBuilder();
    }
    public Message newLine() {
        this._builder.append("\n");
        return this;
    }
    public Message append(ChatColor color, String text) {
        this._builder.append(color).append(text);
        return this;
    }
    public Message aqua(String text) {
        return this.append(ChatColor.AQUA, text);
    }
    public Message black(String text) {
        return this.append(ChatColor.BLACK, text);
    }
    public Message blue(String text) {
        return this.append(ChatColor.BLUE, text);
    }
    public Message darkaqua(String text) {
        return this.append(ChatColor.DARK_AQUA, text);
    }
    public Message darkblue(String text) {
        return this.append(ChatColor.DARK_BLUE, text);
    }
    public Message darkgray(String text) {
        return this.append(ChatColor.DARK_GRAY, text);
    }
    public Message darkgreen(String text) {
        return this.append(ChatColor.DARK_GREEN, text);
    }
    public Message darkpurple(String text) {
        return this.append(ChatColor.DARK_PURPLE, text);
    }
    public Message darkred(String text) {
        return this.append(ChatColor.DARK_RED, text);
    }
    public Message gold(String text) {
        return this.append(ChatColor.GOLD, text);
    }
    public Message gray(String text) {
        return this.append(ChatColor.GRAY, text);
    }
    public Message green(String text) {
        return this.append(ChatColor.GREEN, text);
    }
    public Message lightpurple(String text) {
        return this.append(ChatColor.LIGHT_PURPLE, text);
    }
    public Message red(String text) {
        return this.append(ChatColor.RED, text);
    }
    public Message white(String text) {
        return this.append(ChatColor.WHITE, text);
    }
    public Message yellow(String text) {
        return this.append(ChatColor.YELLOW, text);
    }
    public String toString() {
        return this._builder.toString();
    }
    public String end() {
        return this.toString();
    }
    public Message rainbowWords(String... words) {
        int readcount = 0;
        ChatColor[] colors = ChatColor.values();
        while (readcount < words.length) {
            for (int i = 0;i < colors.length;i++) {
                this._builder.append(colors[i]).append(words[readcount]);
                readcount += 1;
                if (readcount == words.length) break;
            }
        }
        return this;
    }
    public Message rainbow(String text) {
        int readcount = 0;
        ChatColor[] colors = ChatColor.values();
        while (readcount < text.length()) {
            for (int i = 0;i < colors.length;i++) {
                this._builder.append(colors[i]).append(text.charAt(readcount));
                readcount += 1;
                if (readcount == text.length()) break;
            }
        }
        return this;
    }
}

Usage:

Code:

String msg = new Message().red("An error occured: ").yellow("The player: ").white(p.getName()).yellow(" tried to freeze your server by ").black(reason.toString()).toString();
p.sendMessage(new Message().red("Please don't touch our garden!").end());

It can be added as a separate class file in any Bukkit-related project. Feel free to use, modify and distribute it as you wish. If you want to give Credit, go ahead.

 

Epic, I'm starting making plugins and this is a great help, thanks

 

why you did't extended StringBuilder, thats way you dont need to define sutch an number of methodes
EDIT: wait stringbuilder is an final class, make this else imp,lements the following interfaces: Serializable, Appendable, CharSequence, like StringBuilder does
