Getting started

Install

Drop the jar into plugins/ and start the server. The plugin writes its own folder on the first boot: config.conf, commands.conf, the language files under messages/ and the picker under menus/. Nothing else is needed and nothing else has to be installed.

The requirements are the server itself: Paper 26.2 and Java 25. Folia is supported, and every piece of work the plugin does is already on the thread that owns the player or the region it belongs to.

Give the colours out

A new player may open the picker and sees every colour, and may use the ones you granted. One node per colour, so a rank can carry two colours and another rank twelve:

uxmglow.colour.red
uxmglow.colour.aqua
uxmglow.cycle

There is no list of ranks anywhere in the plugin. It reads the node a player holds, and you decide which rank holds which node.

Change the picker

menus/glow.conf is the window: the rows, the slot every colour sits in, the material of each square, the sound a click makes, and which lines of the language file each tooltip reads. Edit the file and run /uxmglow reload.

Delete the file and this server has no picker: /glow answers in chat instead and every other command still works. A window is a file, so an operator can take one away.

What a player types

/glow opens the picker. /glow set red skips it. /glow cycle red,blue,gold 400 steps through three colours every 400 milliseconds, /glow off stops, and /glow colours lists what they may use. The full list is on the commands page.
