Hex color support in messages.yml (preferably MiniMessage implementation)

[SpeastTV]

What and How?

Hex color (aka. rgb) support, preferably a MiniMessage implementation in messages.yml.

Why?

Because hex colors are the new way to go, they are much more customizable and not limited to the vanilla colors (e.g. &a). Also, if you use MiniMessage to implement hex colors, it would have other benefits besides hex colors.

Are there alternatives?

Another way, instead of MiniMessage, to implement hex colors.

Checks

• [X] I have used the search at least once to check if my idea has already been suggested and perhaps already implemented.

Or is there, by any chance, a way to use hex colors with the already implemented JSON? --> https://github.com/srnyx/annoying-api/wiki/messages-file

Edit: I don't think so (it's not documented)

Regarding hex codes: You can use &x&f&f&f&f&f&f, ffffff being the hex code (so &x and then the hex code with & before each character). It's a bit annoying, but all I can offer right now. This isn't mentioned in the wiki cause it's a feature in Spigot/Paper (not exactly sure which) btw

Regarding MiniMessage support: Track https://github.com/srnyx/annoying-api/issues/6 for MiniMessage support, as my API is what handles the messages files for all my plugins. I've attempted support before, but it didn't go well, and I'm not really sure if I'll ever add support for it. I experienced issues with PlaceholderAPI and my own placeholders.

Closing this as a "duplicate" so that I only have to worry about the issue on the API's GitHub.
