actionbar is always white when using 1.8 clients

[FallenCrystal]

Describe the bug

actionBar is not colorized correctly on 1.8 clients.

How can the bug be reproduced?

install plugin.

public String ca(String text) {return ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', text);}
public void actionbar(ProxiedPlayer p, String msg) {p.sendMessage(ChatMessageType.ACTION_BAR, new TextComponent(ca(message)));}

and then. send an actionbar message to the 1.8 client.

actionbar(tester, "&aa&bb&cc&dd&ee");

u can get white string "abcde"

whether its nullcordx, flamecord, waterfall, or native bungeecord. all have this error (at least when i tested it)
only on 1.8 clients. 1.9+ clients work fine.

Was it working on 3.6.0?
I'm pretty sure this worked before, so it must be a regression.

nope

3.6.0 is the earliest version I have. so i want to test on it. but still not working.

btw only on bungeecord. actionbar sender target is proxiedplayer

[diogotcorreia]

Oh... that makes sense, did not notice that.
I think that never worked then, I'll take a look.

However, does it work if you create the BaseComponent correctly?

public String ca(String text) {return ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', text);}
public void actionbar(ProxiedPlayer p, String msg) {p.sendMessage(ChatMessageType.ACTION_BAR, TextComponent.fromLegacyText(ca(message)));}

(Notice the change from new TextComponent(...) to TextComponent.fromLegacyText(...))

Also, does it work if Triton isn't installed on the proxy?

(Notice the change from to new TextComponent(...)TextComponent.fromLegacyText(...))
