# Text Formation

NightCore features MiniMessage like tags for text formation.

NightCore uses it's own tag parser to provide compatibility for both, Spigot and Paper, software. Therefore, not all tags provided by MiniMessage are available for NightCore plugins.

# Color Schemes

NightCore features custom color definition via the color_schemes.yml config file. It allows you to define your own colors with custom names that you can use in all NightCore based plugins.

By default it uses the custom color scheme with default colors changed and a few additional colors. You can switch back to the "classic" colors by setting Selected: default in the color schemes config.
