What is the issue?
When I try to enter in a colored name for the shopkeeper, [ex. &2Emeralds Merchant] it says the name is not valid. Please Help!Please provide any additional information below.
I had the "UTF-8" in the config.

You have to first edit the name regex in the config to allow the color codes in shop names.
