hello can you help me a bit, so how do I remove the < > around the player's name and how to make a players username a different color like blue (a plugin like that)
but how do you change their name?Essentials and go to chat format in config
Idk how the config is set but just put before display name the color you want with essentials color codes.but how do you change their name?

# This section requires the EssentialsChat.jar to work.
chat:
# If EssentialsChat is installed, this will define how far a player's voice travels, in blocks. Set to 0 to make all chat global.
# Note that users with the "essentials.chat.spy" permission will hear everything, regardless of this setting.
# Users with essentials.chat.shout can override this by prefixing text with an exclamation mark (!)
# Users with essentials.chat.question can override this by prefixing text with a question mark (?)
# You can add command costs for shout/question by adding chat-shout and chat-question to the command costs section."
radius: 0
# Chat formatting can be done in two ways, you can either define a standard format for all chat.
# Or you can give a group specific chat format, to give some extra variation.
# For more information of chat formatting, check out the wiki: http://wiki.ess3.net/wiki/Chat_Formatting
format: '<{DISPLAYNAME}> {MESSAGE}'
#format: '&7[{GROUP}]&r {DISPLAYNAME}&7:&r {MESSAGE}'
group-formats:
# Default: '{WORLDNAME} {DISPLAYNAME}&7:&r {MESSAGE}'
# Admins: '{WORLDNAME} &c[{GROUP}]&r {DISPLAYNAME}&7:&c {MESSAGE}'
# If you are using group formats make sure to remove the '#' to allow the setting to be read.
format: '<{DISPLAYNAME}> {MESSAGE}'
format: '&3{DISPLAYNAME}&8>>&f {MESSAGE}'
Thanks manYou can use Essentials with EssentialsChat that can be found here
How to edit:
Inside of Essentials Config.yml, you will have to scroll down to the line 511 (I recommend Notepad++)
Code:############################################################ # +------------------------------------------------------+ # # | EssentialsChat | # # +------------------------------------------------------+ # ############################################################ # This section requires the EssentialsChat.jar to work. chat: # If EssentialsChat is installed, this will define how far a player's voice travels, in blocks.

And then, you will edit the format (line 532)
Just remove the </> and save it, this is pretty much the Chat format you are looking at, but you need EssentialsChat for this or it will not work.Code:format: '<{DISPLAYNAME}> {MESSAGE}'
You can also add colors to the format to change the color of the players names, and it can look like this
&3 for the name color and &8>> to make the format look better before the message comes, &f comes for the color white so the message will be white.Code:format: '&3{DISPLAYNAME}&8>>&f {MESSAGE}'
I hope that helped you,
Tyler.
