## What are text effects?
They are some cool decorative text effects you can use in your server to make it more professional.
### How to enable them
{% hint style="warning" %}
You have to run `/iazip` in order to enable/disable this feature.\
Make sure also to enable it in the `config.yml`.
{% endhint %}
{% code title="config.yml" %}
```yaml
text_effects:
enabled: true
chat:
enabled: true
customitem_name_and_lore:
enabled: true
sign:
enabled: true
book:
enabled: true
anvil:
enabled: true
```
{% endcode %}
(click to see old config.yml properties from 4.0.7 and lower)
```yaml
effects:
text-effects:
enabled: true # This option requires /iazip when changed.
customitem-name-and-lore:
enabled: true
chat:
enabled: true
sign:
enabled: true
book:
enabled: true
anvil:
enabled: true
```
You also have to give the permissions to each player.
* Use **text-effects** in **chat**
* `ia.user.text_effect.chat`
* Use **text-effects** in **signs**
* `ia.user.text_effect.sign`
* Use **text-effects** in **books**
* `ia.user.text_effect.book`
* Use **text-effects** in **anvil** rename field
* `ia.user.text_effect.anvil`
* Use a **text-effect**
* `ia.user.text_effect.use.`

#### Note
in Minecraft **1.21.4** you can use `"shadow_color":0` attribute in JSON components to hide the shadow. But this requires you to have knowledge about JSON components.

## How to create animated prefix (Luckperms)

`/lp group admin meta setprefix ""`

## Using text effects without the placeholders
For some reason if you want to use text effects on areas which don't support ItemsAdder placeholders (like ``) you can use another method.
These effects are triggered based on a **special HEX color**.\
So if the area where you want to show a text effect supports HEX colors you can do that.
### Special colors
#### No Shadow
`4e5c24`
#### Rainbow
`e6fffe`
#### Wobble
`e6fffa`
#### Rainbow + Wobble
`e6fbfe`
#### Jump
`e6fbfa`
#### Rainbow + Jump
`e6f7fe`
#### Blinking
`e6f7fa`
### Using them in Minecraft vanilla JSON notation
This triggers the rainbow effect:\
`/tellraw @a {"text":"custom text example", "color":"#e6fffe"}`
Replace `e6fffe` with the effect you want.
### Using them in plugins which support *MiniMessage*
{% embed url="" %}
(for example ItemsAdder itself and [ChatFormatter](https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/102212/))
This triggers the rainbow effect: `<#e6fffe>custom text example`
Replace `e6fffe` with the effect you want.
### Using them in plugins which support legacy HEX notation
#### Rainbow
`&X&E&6&F&F&F&E`\
etc.
This was tested on [EpicRename](https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/epicrename.4341/) and should work in any plugin or place where Spigot handles the colors replacement using its own legacy colors code.
Example: `/rename &x&F&F&F&F&F&ETest`
