ProNouns
by lucyydotp
ProNouns lets each player on a Paper server set their own pronouns, for Fabric's 1.19.3 build of the plugin.
What it does
Players can set pronouns individually and keep several pronoun sets at once, including custom and neopronoun forms that the player defines. The plugin is built to form correct sentences when other tools read the stored pronouns, through PlaceholderAPI support. Pronoun data can be stored in several places, including MySQL for networks of servers.
The plugin is extensible through a developer API, so other server plugins can read and use the stored pronouns. Its scope covers Paper, Sponge, Fabric, BungeeCord and Velocity, though the project lists three of those platforms as planned rather than implemented. The Fabric line in this listing is a server-side mod: a client running an integrated server gains little from it.
ProNouns is a work-in-progress rewrite of the plugin of the same name. The author states that the plugin is used on a server at the owner's own risk and takes no responsibility for damage it causes. The mod is released under the BSD 2-Clause License, which makes it open source, and public links exist for the source code, the issue tracker and the wiki.

What the author says
This is a work-in-progress rewrite of my plugin ProNouns. ProNouns is a plugin that lets players set their pronouns, making their experience on the server that little bit more personal. I assume absolutely no responsibility if this plugin breaks anything - use at your own risk.
