MineDown

A library that adds the ability to use a MarkDown inspired markup to write Minecraft chat components!

It provides a custom mark up syntax which is loosely based on MarkDown that adds the ability to use the full power of component messages with the same simplicity as legacy formatting codes. (Which it can still support!) It also includes a way to directly replace placeholders in the messages, both string based and component based ones!

See this plugin for a simple implementation.

Take a look at the syntax and how to use it in your plugin. If you run into issues or need any help, click here.

It can be used with both, BungeeCord's chat API used in Spigot, Paper and BungeeCord as well as kyori's universal adventure library (Natively used by Velocity).
