Chat arguments
The CommandAPI provides a number of ways to interact with chat formatting in Minecraft. These are the following:
- ChatColor: The color of text rendered in Minecraft
- Chat: Text which is said in chat. This also includes entity selectors such as
@aand@r - ChatComponent: Minecraft's Raw JSON text format
The CommandAPI implements ChatColor, Chat and ChatComponent in two separate ways: Spigot-compatible and Adventure-compatible. The differences between these and how to use them are described in their own relevant pages.
The CommandAPI also supports Minecraft 1.19's chat preview feature. To use Minecraft 1.19's chat preview feature, information on that can be found in Chat preview.
