# Getting Started

Welcome to the official documentation for **AliienChatColor!**

AliienChatColor is the ultimate lightweight, GUI-driven chat colors plugin for your minecraft server! It allows you to add a brand new type of chat-based cosmetics to your server, while costumizing every single aspect of it to your own liking!

### ✨ Key Features

* **Highly Optimized**: This plugin has been tested and proven to be really good in terms of performance. However, if you still find any issues that were not found during the testing phases please open a ticket in my discord server!
* **Built-In GUI**: A completely customizable menu system with automatic pagination, different displays for chat colors that the player have and dont have, a button to clear the current chat color, success/fail sounds, glow to indicate which chat color is currently being used, and more! **\[EXCLUSIVE TO THE PREMIUM VERSION]**
* **Custom Gradients Support**: This plugin uses MiniMessages, which means that you can use all of its formats in your own chat colors (including gradients, single colors, bold, etc)
* **Custom Hex Command**: Reward your highest premium ranks by allowing them to define their own custom chat colors on the fly using the `/cc hex (#hex)` command (keep in mind that this will only work for singular colors rather than gradients with multiple colors) **\[EXCLUSIVE TO THE PREMIUM VERSION]**
* **Powerful Admin Tools**: Easily manage your community with the `/cc admin` command suite. Force-set colors on other players, clear active colors, or safely reload the entire plugin without restarting the server. **\[EXCLUSIVE TO THE PREMIUM VERSION]**
* **PlaceholderAPI Integration**: PlaceholderAPI is an optional dependency, which means that if you want you can use some of our placeholders outside of the plugin.
