How to Make Colored Bold Text?

I want the plugin to send a message back to the player when a command is sent and the text being aqua and bold. What would I need to add to this?:

 

Code:

player.sendMessage(ChatColor.AQUA + ChatColor.BOLD + "Hello dude!");

If you just browsed the API you couldve found this by yourself.

 

That does not work. It's is underlined in red and says: "The operator + is undefined for the argument type(s) org.bukkit.ChatColor, org.bukkit.ChatColor"

 

You probably changed your code because when you concatenate the ChatColor enum with a string, it calls the toString method of the enum, thus making it a string and completely bypassing that error.

 

Use the '§' character for this, preceding the color / formatting code.

 

Just add a "" + in front of the first ChatColor.

 

Even though this is already been said, I'll clarify it more.

Code:

 
sender.sendMessage(ChatColor.GOLD + "" + ChatColor.BOLD + "This is a gold, bold message");

 

Thank you!

 

Due to Bukkit having the ChatColor interface, use of § is discouraged.

 

It works great for me; it's easier and much more convenient to organize. I don't like appending loads of ChatColor objects to my Strings.

 

Well if you are in a server control panel and you want the MOTD to be colored, you must use this character. It doesn't matter what mod/server client it is.
