​

Usage:

If you don't know how to use Skript 2.2's functions, please view this tutorial.
Make sure this script loads before all other scripts in order to access its functions!

• json()
  • json("<recipient>", "<json text in json.sk notation>")
  • Sends a json formatted message to the recipient (accepts @a)
  • Alternative:
    • json("<recipient>", "<text in json.sk-notation>", <OPTIONAL: color codes boolean>)
    • By default, color codes will be converted. If the color codes boolean argument is set to false, json.sk won't convert color codes.
• jsonFormat()
  • jsonFormat("<text in json.sk notation>")
  • Returns a /tellraw formatted json from the input json.sk notation text.
• jsonColor()
  • jsonColor("<text>")
  • This function is used by the other json functions to reformat the color codes within the message.
• jsonSanitize()
  • jsonSanitize("<text>")
  • Returns json-safe text (cancels out all quotation marks)
• removeColor()
  • removeColor("<text>")
  • Returns text with all & color codes removed.
  • Note: this function will not remove color codes that are already converted (not in &# format anymore).

​

All possible effect tags:

• ttp:
  • Appends a hoverable tooltip
• cmd:
  • Appends a clickable command
  • If not slash is included at the start (/), players will chat a message instead.
• sgt:
  • Appends a clickable suggestion
  • May be any text (including commands)
• url:
  • Appends a clickable url
  • If no http:// or https:// is included, json.sk will include http:// automatically
• ins:
  • Appends an "insertion", which will add text to a player's chat prompt if they shift click the message
  • For more information about insertions, visit http://www.minecraftforum.net/forums/minecraft-discussion/redstone-discussion-and/351959#insertion
