Example of patterns

If you want to use gradient you need to use pattern like {#b36000>}Super gradient!{#72cc00<} For normal RGB {#72cc00}Super color!

Using Color API

// Example of removing chars, legacy colors, and patterns
String cleanMessage = ColorAPI.clear("{#b36000>}Super gradient{#72cc00<} &3Some color");
// Output -> "Super gradient Some color" message without patterns, colors, chars...
// You can use separate methods to clear only some kind of coloring

// Example of universal usage for colorize
player.sendMessage(ColorAPI.colorize("{#b36000>}Super gradient{#72cc00<} {#b36000}Super RGB color"));

// Example of gradient method
player.sendMessage(ColorAPI.colorizeGradient("{#b36000>}Super gradient{#72cc00<}"));

// Example of RGB method
player.sendMessage(ColorAPI.colorizeRGB("{#b36000}Super RGB color"));

// Example of classic method
player.sendMessage(ColorAPI.colorizeClassic("&3Some color"));

// Example of selecting colorize type <GRADIENT | RGB | CLASSIC>
player.sendMessage(ColorAPI.colorizeType(ColorizeType.RGB, "{#b36000}Super RGB color"));
