PlayerName Styler
by HiSierra
PlayerName Styler lets server owners give each player a configurable nickname, with colors and formatting, shown across chat, the tab list and above-head nameplates.
What it does
Players can set a nickname that replaces their plain name in the chat window, the tab list and the nameplate above their head. Nicknames are stored per player, and the server decides how they are formatted through a TOML configuration file. Styling uses Minecraft color and format codes such as the 6, l and r codes, along with hex colors written as RRGGBB, so a name can carry several colors in one line.
Placeholders fill in player data inside formats. The mod ships with built-in placeholders, and other mods can register their own through its API, which lets a nickname or prefix pull in values from elsewhere. When LuckPerms is installed, the mod can read permission and group information from it. Because the environment is server-side only, players join without installing anything and clients need nothing extra.
Key features
Per-player nicknames
Each player can have a nickname that is used in place of the account name across the server's displays.
Chat, tab list and nameplates
Styled names appear in the chat window, the tab list and above-head nameplates from the same configuration.
Color and hex styling
Minecraft color and format codes work alongside hex colors in the RRGGBB form, and tags can wrap styled text.
Configurable formats
Chat, tab list and nameplate formats are set in a TOML file, so each display can be adjusted independently.
Placeholder system
Built-in placeholders can be combined in formats, and other mods can register their own placeholders through the API.
