[Your View] New Colors & VIP Perks

[Halt 1338]

 

Hey everyone,

 

As a few of you may be aware, Minecraft now supports 6-digit hexadecimal colors to specify custom colors other than the 16 default color codes. This introduces millions of new options for colors in text components. In simpler terms, this means things like custom emote colors are now possible. The first critique that comes to mind when suggesting a change like this would be something along the lines of: find colors that fit within the existing LotC ecosystem (no obnoxious gradients or neon colors). I understand there's a certain nostalgia attached to some of the current color codes too. It's my personal belief that the community can probably come up with a better set of color schemes and conventions than I could on my own, should we decide to implement some. Nothing is set in stone; this post is purely meant to solicit feedback and hopefully start a conversation. I'll leave a poll to gauge opinions. What's more helpful, however, are comments.

 

I've run this idea by @Llir and @The60th. After a brief discussion and a cursory look at the existing codebase, this feature should be able to be incorporated on the server. The question is: how?

The changes don't need to be dramatic, it could be as simple as adjusting the tablist's header and footer. A rough example of this can be seen below:

 

 

Another idea is revamping some of the VIP colors. For instance, Ender and Bedrock share a color; the differentiating factor between them is simply one being bold. Here is an example of what it looks like now, as well as an idea for a way to make them differ. Should bolded characters only be reserved for staff teams?

 

 

The last idea is adding custom emote colors as an ostensible VIP perk. We could preapprove a list of hundreds of colors as well as have a system for approving unique ones similar to the custom tag system for Aether VIPs.

I think adding more stuff to vips in general would be good, clearing up the guide aswell.

’name tokens’ and ‚desc tokens’ are the same thing, its weird that theyre listed as different.

Honestly why not make custom colors a non-VIP thing? It's not like you can abuse colors in any way

[DeusVult 564]

Those are different ranks?

I wouldn't want custom emote colors to be restricted to VIP because the diversity of colors for tempting helps makes things easier to read and easier to differentiate player's emotes when several people are in the same area.

[Traveller 2202]

all three options. this is possible now, why leave such a great feature out?

 

custom colours in chat should be non-vip btw.

I would legit buy VIP just to be able to make things pink onG

I would love yo have more colors but much like with bold text and italicized  I don't think it should be locked behind a paywall.

Would be cool to let people customize the colors of their emotes as a player, and VIPs can reserve that color only for them (the hex code, rather).

[MeteorDragon 2834]

Custom emote colors would be amazing, I think different VIP colors would be cool as well, maybe also custom Staff colors just so we can get some variation - but, the most important thing is custom emote colors, and please make it a Non-VIP perk, everyone deserves to use it

please do not copy my idea of adding emote colors
