📋 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
