# This section is only for the Bukkit plugin of ServerListPlus.
# ProtocolLib: (DISABLE|AUTO|ENABLE) Decides if ProtocolLib should be used by ServerListPlus.
#   Generally, AUTO (the default) is a good choice: ProtocolLib is used on Spigot for
#   full functionality, but disabled on Paper because it is not needed there.
#   Note that this might cause other plugins that make use of ProtocolLib to overwrite
#   the changes made by ServerListPlus. In that case, try setting ENABLE instead.

ME TOO

[SiuanSong]

Similarly it does not work in Slots either

I'm not aware of any way to have RGB colors in the hover text, sorry. This is because that feature just abuses the player list, normally it's not supposed to support colors at all.

[SiuanSong]

Okay, thanks for the response! Wasn't sure if it was a bug or just not supported. What do you mean by abusing the player list?

[stephan-gh]

If you look at vanilla servers the "hover message" is actually a list of players that are currently playing on the server. Just a list of names. And this is exactly how the Minecraft client expects it from the server: The server can only send a list of player names.

SLP "abuses" this by not returning actual player names but custom lines that you can specify in the configuration.
