HexNicks

HexNicks is a simple nickname plugin that allows players to set their nickname to anything they like containing normal colors, hex colors, and even gradients! It fully supports only Paper, though forks should work as well. There are only a few commands and permissions to limit what players use what commands. Though the plugin does have support for MySQL storage, it's mostly intended to be a simple nickname plugin for smaller Spigot/Paper servers.

Features

• Parsing via MiniMessage - here's a handy website to practice.
• Optimized support for Paper. Forks should work as well.
• PlaceholderAPI support with the placeholder %hexnicks_nick% for player's nicknames.
• MySQL storage support for users on BungeeCord/Velocity.
• Metrics through bStats.
• Ability to format chat on it's own, no external chat formatter needed.
• Simple api for developers.
• Full documentation here.

Support

If you need help with the plugin and can't find the answer in the documentation, then the best way to get help is to either join my Discord or post in discussions. If you join Discord make sure you read the frequently-asked channel before posting in the bug-reports channel (if it's a bug) or in the hexnicks channel (for general help).

If you have discovered a bug you can either join my Discord to tell me about it and then open an issue on GitHub. An open issue is the quickest way to get me to fix it. Please do not message me on Spigot in regards to a bug, there are easier ways to communicate.

Contributing

HexNicks is open-source and licensed under the MIT License, so if you want to use any code contained in the plugin or clone the repository and make some changes, go ahead!

If you've found a bug within the plugin and would like to just make the changes to fix it yourself, you're free to do so and make a pull request here on GitHub. If you make significant contributions to the project, and by significant I mean one PR to fix a typo doesn't count as significant, you can earn the Contributor role in my Discord.

I'm a full time college student who makes and supports these plugins in my free time (when I have any). As a long time supporter of open source, most of my plugins are free. If you enjoy my plugins and would like to support me, you can buy me coffee over on PayPal. Donations of any amount are appreciated and a donation of $10 or more will get you the Supporter role in my Discord!
