Serializers
- Reintroducing support for legacy colorization—and more!
# Available serializers:
# LEGACY_AMPERSAND - "&c&lExample &c&9Text"
# LEGACY_SECTION - "§c§lExample §c§9Text"
# MINI_MESSAGE - "<bold><red>Example</red> <blue>Text</blue></bold>"
# GSON - "[{"text":"Example","bold":true,"color":"red"},{"text":" Text","color":"blue"}]"
# PLAIN - "Example Text"
# MINIMAL - &l#RGBExample <#RGB>Text</#RGB>
# UNIFIED - Include all, except GSON
serializer:
type: UNIFIED
cache:
enabled: true
max-size: 500
- Usage:
Serializer.TYPE.deserialize(String) → Component
- Cache: When
cache: true, duplicate strings are not re-serialized—the component is retrieved from an LRU cache (default size: 500 entries).
- Cache Preloading (Warm-up):
List<String> messages = config.getStringList("messages");
Serializer.UNIFIED.cacheAll(messages);
- Dynamically obtaining a serializer (based on the type specified in the config):
SerializerType type = SerializerType.valueOf(config.getString("serializer.type"));
HashedSerializer serializer = Serializer.get(type);
Component component = serializer.deserialize(input);
- GUIs now include built-in support for these serializers.
