messages.yml

messages.yml holds every player-facing string the plugin sends — chat messages, errors, usage hints, status words. Edit it to reword, restyle, or fully translate the plugin.

Format¶

Each message is a key with a string value. Standard & color codes are supported.

visiting: "&7Teleporting you to {player}'s island..."
visit-no-island: "&c'{player}' does not have an island."
visit-locked: "&cThis island is closed to visitors."
island-locked: "&7Your island is now locked (closed to visitors)."
island-unlocked: "&aYour island is now open to visitors."
flag-on: "&aON"
flag-off: "&cOFF"

Placeholders¶

Messages use {...} placeholders that the plugin fills in, for example:

Placeholder	Filled with
`{player}`	A player name
`{level}` / `{points}`	Island level / points
`{amount}`	A number (bank, etc.)

The exact placeholders available depend on the message — keep the ones already in the default string when you reword it.

Status Words¶

Some short words are reused across menus and messages:

flag-on: "&aON"
flag-off: "&cOFF"
visit-open: "&aOPEN"
visit-closed: "&cCLOSED"

Changing these updates them everywhere they appear.

Translating¶

To translate the plugin, you only need to edit:

messages.yml — all chat text
menus/*.yml — menu titles, item names, lore
config.yml → command.subcommands — the words players type
roles.yml — role display names

No code changes are ever required.

Reload after editing

Run /is admin reload to apply changes without restarting the server.
