HexNicks

[](https://github.com/MajekDev/HexNicks/actions/workflows/build.yml) [](https://github.com/MajekDev/HexNicks/releases/latest) [](https://discord.majek.dev) [](https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/83554/) # 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](https://docs.adventure.kyori.net/minimessage) - here's a [handy website](https://webui.adventure.kyori.net/) to practice. - Optimized support for Paper. Forks should work as well. - [PlaceholderAPI](https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/placeholderapi.6245/) support with the placeholder `%hexnicks_nick%` for player's nicknames. - MySQL storage support for users on BungeeCord/Velocity. - Metrics through [bStats](https://bstats.org/plugin/bukkit/HexNicks/8764). - Ability to format chat on it's own, no external chat formatter needed. - Simple [api](https://hexnicks.majek.dev/developers) for developers. - Full documentation [here](https://hexnicks.majek.dev). ## Support If you need help with the plugin and can't find the answer in the [documentation](https://hexnicks.majek.dev), then the best way to get help is to either join my [Discord](https://discord.gg/CGgvDUz) or post in [discussions](https://github.com/MajekDev/HexNicks/discussions/categories/q-a). 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](https://discord.gg/CGgvDUz) to tell me about it and then open an issue on [GitHub](https://github.com/MajekDev/HexNicks). 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](https://github.com/MajekDev/HexNicks/blob/main/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](https://discord.gg/CGgvDUz). ## Donate 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](https://paypal.com/paypalme/majekdor). Donations of any amount are appreciated and a donation of $10 or more will get you the Supporter role in my [Discord](https://discord.gg/CGgvDUz)!
