A cross-platform way to deal with stylised text
It is best to use an implementation rather than depending on this as methods for sending messages will not be accessible
TextComponents is available on Maven from either the Official Maven Repository or JitPack
The latest version is hosted on an Official Maven Repository
First include the repository:
<repository>
<id>bb1-repository-releases</id>
<name>BradBot_1's Repository</name>
<url>https://repo.bb1.fun/releases</url>
</repository>
Then add the dependency:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.tubmc</groupId>
<artifactId>text-components</artifactId>
<version>1.0.0</version>
</dependency>
If the official repository is down or you choose not to trust it you can always pull it from JitPack
First include the repository:
<repository>
<id>jitpack.io</id>
<url>https://jitpack.io</url>
</repository>
Then add the dependency:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.github.TubMC</groupId>
<artifactId>TextComponents</artifactId>
<version>-SNAPSHOT</version>
</dependency>
Just run the following commands:
git clone https://github.com/TubMC/TextComponents.git
cd TextComponents
mvn clean install
It will then be accessible from your local Maven Repoistory
Now you can simply add the following dependency without a repository:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.tubmc</groupId>
<artifactId>text-components</artifactId>
<version>1.0.0</version>
</dependency>
