📋 Overview
RobloxChat is a lightweight Bukkit plugin for Minecraft Beta 1.7.3 that modernizes vanilla chat formatting. It replaces the standard `<Name> message` format with `[Name]: message`, where each player's name appears in a unique, consistent color based on their username—similar to Roblox's name coloring system.
✅ Compatible with Canyon and Uberbukkit server forks

✨ Features
- 🚀 Performance Optimized: Each username generates a permanent color assignment. The same name always appears in the same color across all sessions. - 🚀 Performance Optimized: Clean `[Name]: message` appearance with proper spacing and punctuation. - 🚀 Performance Optimized: Built specifically for vintage Minecraft servers using modern Bukkit fork enhancements. - 🚀 Performance Optimized: Works out-of-the-box with no config files required. - 🚀 Performance Optimized: Uses Bukkit's API with minimal overhead.
📦 Installation
1. ⬇️ Download `RobloxChat.jar` 2. 📁 Place in your server's `plugins/` folder 3. 🔄 Restart the server 4. 💬 Chat format automatically updates for all players
⚙️ Requirements
- Minecraft Beta 1.7.3 - Canyon or Uberbukkit server JAR - Java 8+
🔧 Technical Details
Each username is processed through a deterministic algorithm that maps to Minecraft's color palette (`&a` through `&f`), ensuring visual variety while maintaining per-player consistency.
Example: - Input: `Steve builds a house` - Output: `[§aSteve§r]: builds a house` (where §a = green)
🧪 Compatibility
