Styling Guidelines

These guidelines ensure a consistent look and feel across all plugins.

Error Messages

  • Always use <red> for errors
  • Keep messages short and clear

✅ Example: <red>You do not have permission to use this command.</red>

❌ Bad: <gradient:red:dark_red>ERROR: You cannot do that!!!</gradient>

Colors & Gradients

  • Do NOT overuse gradients
  • Prefer simple, clean colors
  • Gradients should only be used for:
  • titles
  • special highlights (e.g. rewards, rare items)

Text & Grammar

  • Always use proper grammar and sentence structure
  • Avoid slang and overly casual language in system messages

💡 If unsure, use AI to improve longer texts.

Message Style

  • Keep messages concise
  • Avoid unnecessary words
  • Be consistent in wording across the project

Consistency

  • Use the same wording for similar actions
  • Do not invent new phrasing if something already exists

Example:

  • Always use: "You do not have permission"
  • Not: "You can't do that" / "No permission" / etc.

Things to avoid

  • Excessive use of colors
  • ALL CAPS messages
  • Random formatting styles
  • Inconsistent phrasing

Goal

Clean, consistent, and professional in-game communication.
