What is MiniMessage?
MiniMessage is a lightweight, human-friendly markup format designed for rich text. Instead of writing verbose JSON, you can use simple tags to apply colors, formatting, and even interactive events. For example, <red>Hello, <b>World!</b></red> is much easier to write and read than its JSON equivalent.
MiniMessage is particularly useful when:
- You’re getting user input, allowing players or server administrators to easily format messages without needing to understand complex JSON.
- Writing configuration files, MiniMessage will simplify storing rich text in a more readable format.
- Prototyping by typing simple messages without boilerplate Rust code or complex JSON.
