Texts.fromLegacy() should work fine, if it doesn’t you should open an issue on the GitHub repo. Unless I’ve somehow missed it I don’t know about any reported bug about Texts.fromLegacy() - keep in mind IRC is not a good place for reporting bugs as things will get quite easily forgotten there.
Texts.replaceCodes() is basically the same as your previous code, internally it does the same thing. That means you will get the same problems as with your previous code. For constructing messages from old color codes you should always use Texts.fromLegacy()
Wanted to try this out but I continue to get a server crash when running it along side the latest DEV build (433) and version 1.1. Heres a link to the report. Crash Report
Love this plugin, I will probably use it in my own server once things become a bit more stable and the plugins become more available.
I just wanted to say that since this is going to be released to the public and since it already is. I think that you, as the developer should compile it in Java 7, unless there’s something in Java 8 that you can’t supplement using Java 7.
It would just give you a broader audience, less people complaining about server crashes and issues and just less hassle overall. Just a thought
