Customize Messages

Goal

Brand and localize player-facing output with messages.yml.

Steps

1. Open plugins/PvPIndexFactions/messages.yml.
2. Edit prefixes first so all messages match your server style.
3. Update key gameplay text:
   • invites
   • claim/unclaim feedback
   • bank actions
   • territory enter/leave titles
4. Keep MiniMessage placeholders unchanged unless you know the code path.
5. If supported in your build, run /fa reload; otherwise restart.
6. Validate in-game:
   • /f help
   • /f invite
   • /f map
   • entering claimed land

Translation workflow

1. Duplicate messages.yml to a translation branch.
2. Translate values only (not keys/placeholders).
3. Test all major flows before production rollout.

Verify success

• Messages render without raw <placeholder> text.
• No missing-key fallbacks appear in chat/logs.
