HEX COLORS doesn't work

HEX COLORS are supported by ExecutableItems so if it doesn't work is because of something, either you typed an incorrect value (it has happened on discord forums, so yea, it is a possibility) or you are adding correctly but you would need to use BRUT_HEX on your command:

Common Issues and Solutions​

Issue 1: Incorrect HEX Format​

Problem: Your hex color isn't displaying correctly.

Solution: Make sure you're using the correct format:

  • Correct: #FF5733 or &#FF5733
  • Incorrect: FF5733 (missing # or &)
  • Incorrect: #FF57 (incomplete - must be 6 characters)

Issue 2: Using HEX in Commands​

Problem: HEX colors work in display name/lore but may require the tag BRUT_HEX in custom commands.

Solution: Use BRUT_HEX for commands that send colored messages:

commands:
- "SEND_MESSAGE &#FF5733This text will be orange!"
- "ACTIONBAR &#00FF00This text will be green! 20"
- "custom_command_from_another_plugin #00FF00This text will be green! BRUT_HEX"

Why BRUT_HEX?

  • Some plugin requires to receive the brut hex code to send it correctly
  • By default our plugins automatically replace it, so use BRUT_HEX to let the other plugin replace the codes.

Issue 3: Version Requirements​

Problem: HEX colors aren't working at all.

Solution: Check your Minecraft version:

  • HEX colors require Minecraft 1.16+
  • If you're on 1.15 or below, hex colors are not supported by the game
  • Use legacy color codes instead (&a, &c, etc.)
