We need colored chat and a way to put colors in the chat commands like using tags minetest.chat_send_all("%1A color%0 and other color")
That would be cool

Why would this be useful?

No that would not be useful, but the normal chat is so boring :P

yes

Is this what you're after? https://github.com/cheapie/chatcolors

It allows you to specify colors from the CGA color palette, using the same escape codes ("#" followed by a hex digit) as signs_lib:


For example, if you say this:

the quick #6brown#f fox jumps over the lazy dog

The result will be:

<username> the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog

It also works for the /me command:

/me tests #asome #dcolors

Becomes:

* username tests some colors

Ohhh yeah, sorry I didn't see that I can do that, thx

Oh god, I foresee crappy servers where every 2nd chat line is unreadable because of color confusion. xD

rnd ROBOTS has a colourful chat ;)

(note: I didn't say it was a crappy server lol)

trepca uses sign libs and imho it's a good system.

I am against colored messages from users. Only warnings and errors (and other internal services' messages) must be typed with different color. But not users' ones.

I imagine like every kid will paint words and letters with rainbow colors.
