LPChatPrefix
by Viking602
LPChatPrefix shows LuckPerms prefixes and suffixes in front of and after player names in chat messages on a NeoForge server.
What it does
Chat lines on a server running the mod can carry the prefix and suffix that LuckPerms assigns to each player, so a group such as Admin or VIP appears next to the name. The message format is set through the mod's configuration, and Minecraft color codes and symbols can be used inside it. LuckPerms must be installed on the server, because the mod reads the prefixes and suffixes from it.
Only the server needs the mod, since it is server-side only and clients do not have to install anything. It targets NeoForge for 1.21.1 and requires Java 21 or higher. The source code is public under the MIT License, which makes the mod open source. It is described as lightweight and efficient, and it was first published and last updated on 2025-11-11.
Key features
LuckPerms prefixes and suffixes
Prefixes and suffixes set in LuckPerms are displayed in server chat next to each player's name.
Configurable message format
The layout of chat messages can be changed in the configuration, so the prefix and name appear in the order a server prefers.
Color codes and symbols
Standard Minecraft color codes and symbols work inside the prefix and suffix text.
Server-only installation
Players join the server without installing the mod, which keeps the client side unchanged.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
Use cases
Ranked groups on a server
A server that marks staff and supporters with LuckPerms groups can show those groups in every chat line, so each rank is visible in conversation.
Who it’s for: Server owners who already manage permissions with LuckPerms and want chat to reflect those groups. Players do not need the mod, since it runs only on the server.
How it compares
LuckPerms Chat is a NeoForge mod for 1.21.1 – 1.21.6, under the MIT License and open source, which makes it the closest match in loader and version. BetterChatNeoForged is also a NeoForge server-side mod under the MIT License and open source, but it covers 1.21.1 – 1.21.11. EpicChat is server-side only with Fabric, Forge and NeoForge files for 1.20.1 – 1.21.11, and it is not open source, as it is under All rights reserved.
