Bug description

I posted this to discord and it was suggested that I open an issue for it. We use the DeluxeTags plugin (not updated since 2022 but, it still works and we like it). We use
default: '&f{DISPLAYNAME}&r{deluxetags_tag}:&f {MESSAGE}'
in the EssentialsChat config group section. This still works in Essentials dev version 166, but broke in 168 (I skipped 167, then went back to 166 when I discovered the chat formatting problem). I assume this has to do with the update in Esssentials dev version to use Paper's chat events.

Steps to reproduce

Log in and type something in chat.

Expected behaviour

Placeholder should be replaced by the player's selected tag.

Actual behaviour

Placeholder doesn't get replaced by the player's selected tag.

That's not a placeholder supported by Essentials. DeluxeTags needs to be updated to support Paper's Chat Events.

This is an issue with whatever plugin is injecting that into the chat message, they must add support for Paper's AsyncChatEvent.

In the meantime, you may download the latest dev build and in that chat section of your config.yml: add paper-chat-events and set it to false, then restart your server

  # Whether EssentialsX should use Paper's modern chat event system in 1.16.5+.
  # This is required for modern chat features such as hover events and click events.
  # If you're experiencing issues with other plugins that use the chat event system, you can disable this.
  # You must restart your server after changing this setting.
