Hytale MessageTags

MessageTags parses your text, styles and formats it according to its syntax, which is similar to HTML/XML tags. It's as a shadeable library and as a standalone server plugin for Hytale.

    // To include the library in your plugin:
    implementation("eu.koboo:messagetags-api:1.3.0")

    // Or to use the standalone plugin:
    compileOnly("eu.koboo:messagetags-plugin:1.3.0")
}

Add manifest dependency (plugin-only)

{
