Simple Prefix: Allows you to easily manage your chat with prefixes and suffixes.
This plugin uses prefixes and suffixes that are very easy to configure, from inside of an yml config file. You apply prefixes and suffixes per user or group in the /SimplePrefix/config.yml file.
Alternatively, Simple Prefix can be configured to get the prefixes and suffixes from Vault supported chat plugins instead (PermissionsEx, bPermissions, etc.)
You can fully alter the chat format. For example, you could achieve the following ingame:
- [Admin] Flabaliki: my message here
Or even, just completely mix and match the template to get the look you want.
A developer API is available to those who wish to access prefixes and suffixes and use them within their own plugin. Click "Metadata" above.
That's basically what this is, just a lightweight plugin for quickly getting your prefixes and suffixes to work, however you want.
Read the Configuration page for instructions on how to use the plugin.
Features:
- Uses permissions to apply prefixes and suffixes to selected users or groups.
- Alternatively, can use prefixes and suffixes from plugins supported by Vault.
- Formatting/color codes are fully supported.
- Configure the chat format to display however you want.
- Developer API for fetching prefixes and suffixes.
- Easy to use commands for adding / removing prefixes in game.
- Set prefixes and suffixes per group or per user.
- Plays nicely with Essentials /nick command.
- Option to allow multiple prefixes / suffixes, and a configurable separator which is placed between them to separate them.
- A prefix or suffix tier system (so that you can make multiple ranking ladders).
- UUID support
- Offline mode server support (using usernames instead of UUIDs)
- Factions chat tags support (read our Configuration page)
Installation:
- Place Simple Prefix.jar into your plugins folder
- Restart or reload your server
- Edit your config.yml (see here for info)
Please carefully read the Configuration page!

"Epic plugin!" - Bammerbom

As of version 2.3.1, this plugin uses an automatic updater to check if you are running the latest version, and if not, it downloads the latest version. To disable this please set "Auto-Update" to "false" in the config.yml file.
@BashTenick
Make sure when using inheritance, to set the prefixes on higher groups to false, otherwise the lower ones will override it.
i cant find the download....
I have a problem
when I put color to all groups and I have the inheritance enabled, I get the color of the previous group.
Help me please ==
hello everyone, for me the simpleprefix isn't working either. plox someone help me with this i keep getting this server text whenever i logging in. but the template works
Permissions node is incorrect or strato doesn't have a node.
my simpleprefix config.yml: http://pastebin.com/tvfaFnxw
and my permissionbukkit config.yml: http://pastebin.com/ctH3ViG9
i use the latest RECOMMENDED release of everything (bukkit for 1.1 rc6 i think, permissionsbukkit and simpleprefix) to date (2012.03.17)
@bornc0nfused
eum... you don't...
I don't see why you would even want to have this work with a name color plugin. This plugin can already color the name. There is no need for 2 plugins that can both do the exact same thing.
How can i get this to work with a name colour plugin?
Simpleprefix works fine for me on permissionsex. Permissionsbukkit wiped your config not simple prefix as permissionsbukkit has been doing that for everyone as it is not updated.
Dont use Simpleprfix v 1.4.7 with craftbukkit-1.2.3-R0.1 it just wiped my Permissionsbukkit config.yml.
Support for PermissionsEx would be great. Thanks in advance
Hey is there away where i can get this plugin working with Factions?
How can i get this to work with a name colour plugin?
Can you fix the support with /nick from essentials as it no longer works. Could you also make this plugin friendly with towny chat, the prefixes do not show in the local or global chat. Even better still, can you add support for local and global (/shout) chat.
with around 350+ people online, The config.yml erased itself then the plugin broke (Even if I put the config.yml back to normal and did /spr reload it would still not function or change prefixs/suffix)
This happened while I was asleep so /spr reload was never used.
Is there any chance to get the source on this? Perhaps theirs a limit to how many lines the config.yml before it breaks? some kind of overflow error in code maybe?
@Flabaliki
I hope you can enable it or fix it in the next release :) I loved that feature of iChat but iChat doesn't work anymore:(
@XSilverlink
There used to be, in a very old version, a lot of people had issues with it. So I took it out. I haven't looked into it since.
Thanks for this great plugin. Plugin works great with the latest beta of bukkit!
One question though: Is there a way to put in the time? like : [world] [time] [prefix] [dname] [suffix]: [message]
Any R5-R6 update?
Does this plugin show the prefix/suffix on death eg . [Admin] bearbear12345 died
@javoris767
If you mean the < >, then yes.
@S4h4rk
Sounds interesting, maybe in the next version :)
