[Util][Codefragment] Send Colored Message to Console (Very easy)

This is a method to send a colored message to the console, which I've found the last few days. It's very easy but I think at least it's useful.

Code:java

 
    public static void printlnfx(String message) {
        Server server = Bukkit.getServer();
        ConsoleCommandSender console = server.getConsoleSender();
        console.sendMessage(message);
    }
 

Paste this into your main class to be able to call it from all your other classes.
To change the text color use ChatColor.<Color_of_your_choice>.

 

GameplayJDK Nice work. But you can just do Bukkit.getConsoleSender().sendMessage(message);

Yes, but in my opinion it looks nicer if you have a method for that. And it take less space to write PluginMain.printlnfx(ChatColor.RED+"Hello").

 

You could use this in a way like this:

Code:

public static String pluginPrefix = ChatColor.GOLD + "[" + ChatColor.DARK_RED + "Swag" + ChatColor.GOLD + "] " + ChatColor.GREEN;
 
public static void printLine(String message) {
    Bukkit.getServer().getConsoleSender().sendMessage(pluginPrefix + message);
}

 

try doing this without bukkit API, current code is just "hey i managed to properly used api without reading javadocs"

 

What if.. the console doesn't support color, e.g. Multicraft

It will be detected at the server start and then it will ignore the ChatColor for the console.

That would be a good way if you want to mark every message of your plugin
