[Util] Colored Console Output :)

This class lets you output to the console using ChatColor.[Color]. It requires CraftBukkit, but won't break between builds as it doesn't use any craftbukkit version dependent packages. (It uses Jansi). I haven't tested this outside of Gnome Terminal, but it should work on OS X and Windows, as Jansi SHOULD provide Windows compatible colors.

Code:java

package your.package;
 
import java.util.EnumMap;
import java.util.Map;
 
import org.bukkit.ChatColor;
import org.fusesource.jansi.Ansi;
import org.fusesource.jansi.AnsiConsole;
import org.fusesource.jansi.Ansi.Attribute;
 
public class ColoredConsole {
 
    private static final Map<ChatColor, String> ansicolors = new EnumMap<ChatColor, String>(ChatColor.class);
    private static final ChatColor[] colors = ChatColor.values();
 
    private static String colorize(String msg) {
        ansicolors.put(ChatColor.BLACK, Ansi.ansi().a(Attribute.RESET).fg(Ansi.Color.BLACK).boldOff().toString());
        ansicolors.put(ChatColor.DARK_BLUE, Ansi.ansi().a(Attribute.RESET).fg(Ansi.Color.BLUE).boldOff().toString());
        ansicolors.put(ChatColor.DARK_GREEN, Ansi.ansi().a(Attribute.RESET).fg(Ansi.Color.GREEN).boldOff().toString());
        ansicolors.put(ChatColor.DARK_AQUA, Ansi.ansi().a(Attribute.RESET).fg(Ansi.Color.CYAN).boldOff().toString());
        ansicolors.put(ChatColor.DARK_RED, Ansi.ansi().a(Attribute.RESET).fg(Ansi.Color.RED).boldOff().toString());
        ansicolors.put(ChatColor.DARK_PURPLE, Ansi.ansi().a(Attribute.RESET).fg(Ansi.Color.MAGENTA).boldOff().toString());
        ansicolors.put(ChatColor.GOLD, Ansi.ansi().a(Attribute.RESET).fg(Ansi.Color.YELLOW).boldOff().toString());
        ansicolors.put(ChatColor.GRAY, Ansi.ansi().a(Attribute.RESET).fg(Ansi.Color.WHITE).boldOff().toString());
        ansicolors.put(ChatColor.DARK_GRAY, Ansi.ansi().a(Attribute.RESET).fg(Ansi.Color.BLACK).bold().toString());
        ansicolors.put(ChatColor.BLUE, Ansi.ansi().a(Attribute.RESET).fg(Ansi.Color.BLUE).bold().toString());
        ansicolors.put(ChatColor.GREEN, Ansi.ansi().a(Attribute.RESET).fg(Ansi.Color.GREEN).bold().toString());
        ansicolors.put(ChatColor.AQUA, Ansi.ansi().a(Attribute.RESET).fg(Ansi.Color.CYAN).bold().toString());
        ansicolors.put(ChatColor.RED, Ansi.ansi().a(Attribute.RESET).fg(Ansi.Color.RED).bold().toString());
        ansicolors.put(ChatColor.LIGHT_PURPLE, Ansi.ansi().a(Attribute.RESET).fg(Ansi.Color.MAGENTA).bold().toString());
        ansicolors.put(ChatColor.YELLOW, Ansi.ansi().a(Attribute.RESET).fg(Ansi.Color.YELLOW).bold().toString());
        ansicolors.put(ChatColor.WHITE, Ansi.ansi().a(Attribute.RESET).fg(Ansi.Color.WHITE).bold().toString());
        ansicolors.put(ChatColor.MAGIC, Ansi.ansi().a(Attribute.BLINK_SLOW).toString());
        ansicolors.put(ChatColor.BOLD, Ansi.ansi().a(Attribute.UNDERLINE_DOUBLE).toString());
        ansicolors.put(ChatColor.STRIKETHROUGH, Ansi.ansi().a(Attribute.STRIKETHROUGH_ON).toString());
        ansicolors.put(ChatColor.UNDERLINE, Ansi.ansi().a(Attribute.UNDERLINE).toString());
        ansicolors.put(ChatColor.ITALIC, Ansi.ansi().a(Attribute.ITALIC).toString());
        ansicolors.put(ChatColor.RESET, Ansi.ansi().a(Attribute.RESET).toString());
 
        for (ChatColor c : colors) {
            if (!ansicolors.containsKey(c)) {
                msg = msg.replaceAll(c.toString(), "");
            } else {
                msg = msg.replaceAll(c.toString(), ansicolors.get(c));
            }
        }
        return msg;
    }
 
    private static String OS = System.getProperty("os.name").toLowerCase();
 
    public static void info(String msg) {
        if (OS.indexOf("win") >= 0) {
            AnsiConsole.out.print(colorize(msg) + Ansi.ansi().reset().toString());
        } else {
            System.out.println(colorize(msg) + Ansi.ansi().reset().toString());
        }
 
    }
}
 

 

Hmmm... If I use ChatColor for logger messages it did always work without any additional coding... Or is it just me? (coding on windows)

 

Code:

Bukkit.getServer().getConsoleSender().sendMessage(ChatColor.WHATEVER + "msg");

Does that not work?
Also some things like spacebukkit show color in console weirdly.

Actually it looks like you nearly just copied the CraftBukkit implementation?
https://github.com/Bukkit/CraftBukk...raftbukkit/command/ColouredConsoleSender.java
The colors are working on Windows and on Linux for me without your code...

EDIT: By the way, there is no need to add the colors to the ansicolors map on every colorize() call... You only have to add them ones because the map is static and so you're adding the colors to the map on every call again..

 

ChatColor.DARK_AQUA for example on a command run on my Linux (Ubuntu) Terminal has always returned colours.
