I have been making a server with my friend and we have this problem for a while now. Essentials Chat is not working for us... We have EssentialsX and Vault. I don't think it is a problem in the config but I will paste the chat part of it that we really need to work.

format: '&7{DISPLAYNAME} &9: &7{MESSAGE}'
#format: '&7[{GROUP}]&r {DISPLAYNAME}&7:&r {MESSAGE}'

config.txt

The format is the main thing that is not working, I do not think anything above is incorrect but I may be mistaken.

EssentialsX version (/essentials): 1.12

Server software (/version): 1.12.1

Make sure you've downloaded the EssentialsXChat-2.0.1.jar from Jenkins and put it in your plugins directory - you need it for chat formatting to work.

If this still doesn't work, please post:

• the output the /essentials command,
• the output of /version, and
• a screenshot of chat.

Then, start and stop your server and copy and paste contents of the latest.log file in the logs directory to a new gist and paste the link to it here.

Hello there,

I'm experiencing this same issue. So I thought I'd reply as you requested with the following screen shots and a link to a gist of my latest log. As you can see, I have essentialsXChat-2.0.1.jar installed on my server and I have the exact same format the OP has in my config.yml. Here's all the necessary links, and screen shots. Hopefully you can help me out.

Still awaiting response from @Flammis2004 regarding my previous comment.

@Andronachi-Marian What versions (from the commands in my previous comment) are you running?

Closing due to inactivity. If you need further assistance, feel free to respond to this issue and we'll reopen it.

Sorry for necroposting, but I have got the same issue! Chat formatting is not working!

This section requires the EssentialsChat.jar to work.

This is my config:

If EssentialsChat is installed, this will define how far a player's voice travels, in blocks. Set to 0 to make all chat global.

Note that users with the "essentials.chat.spy" permission will hear everything, regardless of this setting.

Users with essentials.chat.shout can override this by prefixing text with an exclamation mark (!)

Users with essentials.chat.question can override this by prefixing text with a question mark (?)

You can add command costs for shout/question by adding chat-shout and chat-question to the command costs section."

radius: 0

Chat formatting can be done in two ways, you can either define a standard format for all chat.

Or you can give a group specific chat format, to give some extra variation.

For more information of chat formatting, check out the wiki: http://wiki.ess3.net/wiki/Chat_Formatting

format: '&7{DISPLAYNAME}&8: &e{MESSAGE}'
#format: '&7[{GROUP}]&r {DISPLAYNAME}&7:&r {MESSAGE}'

#group-formats:
#Default: '{WORLDNAME} {DISPLAYNAME}&7:&r {MESSAGE}'
#Admins: '{WORLDNAME} &c[{GROUP}]&r {DISPLAYNAME}&7:&c {MESSAGE}'

If you are using group formats make sure to remove the '#' to allow the setting to be read.

These are my plugins:-

Thanks
