Sorry to hear that you are having problems getting it to work. Have you tried removing all plugins, then restarting the server after that. Then, you can add plugins one-by-one and see where the problem occurs. Hopefully, this should solve the problem.
I have luckperms, essentials, and other plugins
When i /displayname myself, my rank disappeared. Its a big problem since I cant get my rank back
Hope the author can fix it and make it better :)
In reply to bluecreeper15i:
Your rank did not disappear. Your name just does not include the rank in it. If you want to get your rank back, try disconnecting and reconnecting. If that does not solve the problem, please reply with what happened so I can help you.
Thank you!
Is there anyway I can change my join message? Instead of "Username joined the game" it could say "nickname joined the game"?
In reply to LoganLampshadez:
Bukkit should already have this functionality built-in. However, it requires code to enable it. I am going to update this plugin to add this feature, as well as add more support and better commands very soon. Thank you!
simple, efficient, a very good plugin !!
thank !!
Is it possible to add spaces in my displayname? If it is, how do I do that?
In reply to RapakonYli:
Unfortunately, it is not possible to add spaces to the display name due to Bukkit's limited API. I will be updating this plugin with a workaround for this glitch soon.
How do I change the permissions so that people who are not opped can use this command as well?
In reply to egggoo:
Thank you for your question. My recommendation is at the bottom of this reply.
For each command you want players to use, add the following permissions to each group that you want to have access to it.
The chart shows what players need to use the commands.
My recommendation:
If you don't already have a permissions plugin, you need to get one. I suggest LuckPerms as your option. It is easy to set up and is very optimized. The guide to this is at this link.
Next, add the permission displayname.use to a group. After you have done that, reload the permissions, and players in the group will be able to use it.
Is there support for name colors?
In reply to iwillreku3206:
Yes, there is support. All you have to do is use this sheet to know the color codes.
All you have to do is type the color code in the name, but use & instead of §.
Hello,
I'd love to see this open sourced and posted on github so I can make some necessary changes for my server.
If you can't do that, would you consider adding a way to set names from the console?
Thank you for your hard work!
hi I'm a relatively new server owner and I used this plugin along with some other tp plugin I found on bukkit. everytime I change my name in and the displayname changes it creates an error where the server kicks me for illegal characters. confusinf
Can it do something like
/nick
and it will automatically place a random nick?
I see that you say the nickname resetting has been fixed as of March 13th, but I'm still experiencing that they reset when I restart the server.
Also curious about this changing the names above players' heads. I can see it changes names in the TAB list and in chat.
Thanks!
In reply to 1st_lieutenant_noguchi:
Sorry for the wait. I will be done creating this shortly.
Has this been undated to fix the nickname resetting, And does it work on 1.15?
I need a good nickname plugin for my server but I want to keep things mostly vanilla So I don't wan't to use EssentialsX or something because they tend to mess with how some commands work, Like the teleport command I think.
Also, does this change the TAB list and the name tags above players heads?
In reply to Goncorer:
I just fixed all of those problems have been fixed in v1.2 including adding tab list support. The link is this when it is published. It should be done processing by tomorrow.
It supports [1.8 - latest]
