Color coded Chat (instead of JSON) with ANSI Color? about pycraft HOT 3 OPEN

In a much older version of this project, when it aimed to be a client instead of a client-library, this was actually a thing that existed: 9a715a7

As for its viability now, I think its definitely a useful feature to have but as part of a utility package instead of in auth/networking since it doesn't really fit there.

Side note, you can use colorama like I did to make it work on windows, but I wanna make sure these dependencies are optional since not all people using the project need this feature.

This might be a good thing to add, along with general parsing of Minecraft's JSON chat (and legacy chat formatting) structures. Doing the latter requires language files to be present, and, since those are protected by Mojang's copyright, there are some legal subtleties involved in using them. Nonetheless, I think it is possible, for example by providing the ability to automatically download them if needed, or use a langauge file provided by the user.

I don't know when or if I'll have a chance to implement this myself, but I will gladly review a pull request.

Mhh interesting....i personally looked into making the chat somewhat color full and readable but haven't considered the translation from general chat messages....might take a look into it and create a PR ;)
