VaultChatFormatter VS LuckPerms

Hex codes were added in 1.16. Most chat for matters support them. You can use the search term “Chat formatter” when looking for a plugin. I like a specific fork of VaultChatFormatter, though it doesn’t have too many features. A good choice if you’re using essentials would be EssentialsChat. There are some other pretty nice chat formatting plugins online that I don’t know off the top of my head.

Tbh, I’d recommend moving away from EssentialsChat to something else. There’s a fork of VaultChatFormatter that I think works really well.

But if you just need to provide permissions, you need an additional plugin like LuckPerms. And with its help, give the players the necessary permissions. How to use this plugin you can find on YouTube. What rights are available in the Chest Commands plugin you can find in the plugin documentation.

You need to install and configure a permission mod/plugin like LuckPerms.

This subreddit is for vanilla commands. I think you should ask on the r/admincraft subreddit for plugins. I can only recommend the LuckPerms plugin. You can find more video tutorials on YouTube for this plugin.

LuckPerms.

Get luckperms (plugin) which is a permission platform which will allow you to control who is allowed to do what i.e. allowing you to do server admin stuff while denying some of the more destructive commands to your kids

LuckPerms is a good permissions plugin if it's needed. I don't know why you would, but maybe.

In that case, there‘s no easy fix. This seems to be a bug, as this should work already. At least according to this issue.

I have encountered the same problem due to missing permissions in LuckPerms. If you are using LuckPerms, try the /lp verbose command to find the missing permission. You can find how to use it here.
