Solved Color Codes not working

For example when implementing the code :

Code:

if (player.isOp()) {
            event.setFormat(ChatColor.DARK_RED+"§lOWNER" + " " + ChatColor.GOLD + player.getName() + ": " + ChatColor.RED + event.getMessage()

Now notice the § part normally it should make the said Text Bold but in my case...


instead it has a weird "?" symbol

HALP

if you do not know please direct me to somewhere i can find the answer/ or find a way to make something colored but also bold at the same time

 

Instead of using '§', use the ChatColor enums.

 

They are the same thing.

 

@MagmaticBacca
Are you formatting with UTF-8?

ChatColor enums are a thing.

 

Obviously not! This thread is the reason why we have ChatColors and why you should use them.

 

OK pardon me if i am misunderstanding but you mean the "ChanColor.GOLD" kind of thing right? using those enums to color the String that you add it to.

IE: ChatColor.White + "Potato"
thats good and all but i need to have that Color BOLD


so how do i have that Color and have it bold at the same time using said enums?

Sorry if i am being a bother

 

@MagmaticBacca lol ChatColor.DARK_RED + "" + ChatColor.BOLD + message
it's meant to be prepended to a string, so just throw an empty one in there

 

Im suprised i havent tried that yet xD Thabks so much everyone
