Death Messages Not Displaying Normally
Summary
Using the latest version of Paper at the time of writing (paperspigot 497 on Minecraft version 1.16.5), if a mob has a display name that has color codes in it, the death message will not display the color (will just revert it to the default white color).
Steps to reproduce
- Use Paper 497 and the latest dev version of MM (preferably with a test server with no other plugins on it).
- Be killed by a mob that has no custom kill message and has a colored display name. As an example, create a mob with the internal filename Test1 that is a witch and has the display name '&4Witch &EHas &CSomething &FTo &7Say'
- Get killed by the mob and the death message in chat will not be colored (it is supposed to as the "Test1" mob above has a colored name).
Current behavior
Death messages are not formatted correctly.
Intended correct behavior
Death messages display the color codes associated with the name of mobs.

Proposed fixes
Could be a problem with either Paper or MM. I switched to spigot and it seems like the messages work.
