Name Color GUI
Name Color GUI
A simple and easy to configure plugin that allows players to change their name color through a GUI.
Those with the permission "color.set" are also able to set the name color of others.
Name colors can also be set through the console.
Commands
/colors <player>
The player option is optional
Permissions
color.use - To use the command
color.set - To set other player's name color.
Configuration
Once a color is chosen, it will be stored in colors.yml:
nijabutter: '&c'
All colors displayed in the GUI can be configured in the config.yml
&c: enabled: true item: RED_WOOL name: &r&cRed Wool
Common Errors
Name color is not setting / sticking after logouts etc..
Try resetting the colors.yml file by deleting it and restarting the plugin. If you have other plugins, check that they do not change names and if they do read through their documentation / configurations to see if you can disable the behavior.
How do I manage permissions?
Using a permissions plugin is an easy and quick way to manage permissions.
Items are showing as cobblestone blocks and do not function
If you have changed the material of an item in the config.yml and it is invalid the plugin will display it as a cobblestone block and will disable it.
Have a look here for different material names:

Help, I used the command /colors [Username] [Light_blue] and it renamed the player Light_Blue[Playername] and I can't fix it
only operators of the server are able to use any of these commands, is this normal? How would I make it so anyone can set their own color?
Can you please fix your plugin? Players can spam shift click a wool and get the wool out of the GUI. And I can't use a plugin which basically dupes :(
How do I make it so that I can only give out the names?
make it so you can change colours of disconected players
In reply to Cyberyisus:
Just go into colors.yml and manually log their names...
hey i changed my name to another color but it doesnt show up in chat only in player list any help?
EDIT: im a idiot make sure if u have essentials plugin installed to turn the change-displayname to false....... then it should work fine
hi i need some help! so when i do /color [name] and I click on the color. nothing happens, its like I opened a chest and took out the wool. i can move the wool around, and even take it out, and put it into my inv. how do I fix this? i restarted the server, and I even uninstalled the plugin, and reinstalled it.
In reply to natesmoistsponge:
Hi could you just tell me a few things:
- Any other plugins you have
- What minecraft and server version you are running
Hi there I'm having a problem, I am the owner of the server and no matter what I do my name is permanently Red
In reply to KorhuLive:
Try either changing your name color manually in the colors.yml file or deleting it. If you have any other plugins that change your name at all they could be conflicting - try having a look at their configuration files too.
Colors are not setting? I am using LuckPerms as my Permission/Prefix/Rank Plugin
in the meta setprefix, I have &r at the end to reset the name colour to default white.
Example > /lp group owner meta setprefix 100 "&4Owner &r"
name then changes to White.
I then use /color and select purple or any other colour to test, And unfortunately nothing happens.. and stays either white or the default OP light red colour
In reply to xCurlyFryy:
Hi there! I tried my best to recreate your issue as I am unsure on what configurations you have changed in the Luck Perms plugin. Once giving myself the color.use and color.set permissions I was able to use the plugin fine.
However, I have re-written a lot of the plugin so please try again with the newest version. If the newest version is not available yet please download it from the GitHub:
https://github.com/nijabutter/Name-Color-GUI
I have installed the newest version and colors are not saving after logout. is there a way I can fix this?
Hey dawg! I'm running this on a Paper server and for some reason whenever I pick a color it doesn't show when I type but exclusively only on the scoreboard. Got a fix for me?
In reply to tonerss:
Hey there,
I've just tried running it on a fresh Paper server and it seems to work fine for me.
What other plugins are you using?
Can you try and make the colours save? When players relog it resets which gets annoying. Plus, light blue or "aqua" doesn't assign the right colour. I really like this plugin as it's the only one out there with an actual GUI but it has some issues.
In reply to Speak2Erase:
Hi there sorry for the late reply!
I've fixed the issue with Aqua/Light Blue. Just download the newest release and make sure to delete the NameColorGUI folder.
If the newest version still doesn't retain the color after a logout let me know.
If the new release isn't up yet you can just download it from the GitHub here.
