Feature description:

A feature where two hex color could make name/sign text fade into each other to give a gradient effect without having to do each letter one by one.

How the feature is useful:

I think the HEX color additions for 1.16+ servers has been a great addition to make everything a bit more colorful. My players love it for their usernames and signs mostly but there's no website that creates a quick code for them. I'd only like to reference Zrips CMI plugin to give an example. If you take a look here, scroll down to color gradients and you'll see that the plugin gives an option for one color to fade into another with only 2 hex values or colors. I'll always prefer EssentialsX to any other all-in-one plugin but I will admit that this would be would a great addition.

This ought to be reconsidered as it would be fairly simple to add this to the current essentialsx color formating listener using a regex method.

Something like &gr#RGB1#RGB2Text:

private String parseGradient(String message) {
    // Regular expression to match gradient codes
    String regex = "&gr#([0-9A-Fa-f]{6})#([0-9A-Fa-f]{6})";

    return message.replaceAll(regex, "<gradient>$1:$2</gradient>");
}

This ought to be reconsidered as it would be fairly simple to add this to the current essentialsx color formating listener using a regex method.

Something like:
`private String parseGradient(String message) {
// Regular expression to match gradient codes
String regex = "&gr#([0-9A-Fa-f]{6})#([0-9A-Fa-f]{6})";

return message.replaceAll(regex, "<gradient>$1:$2</gradient>");

}`

Minimessage support is already underway which will solve this issue (see #4717)

Which was closed in favor of #2391. I do agree it's a good idea, but let's not have multiple issues for the same general idea. Thank you for your contribution!
