This tutorial assumes you have a fabricmc server with fabric-api installed.
Coming over from bukkit, spigot or paper? Make sure to replace all legacy formatting (those done with &) with tags from Simplified Text Format!
Download Styled Chat, Styled Player List
Then get LuckPerms https://luckperms.net/download
And get Fabric PlaceHolderAPI from the bottom of that same page
Now put all these files in your mods folder and restart the server.
In your Styled Chat config (/config/styled-chat.json) add the Placeholder for the prefix(%luckperms:prefix%):
On line 17 (as of writing this) change "displayName": "${default}", to "displayName": "%luckperms:prefix%${default}", as shown below
Reload Styled Chat by running /styledchat reload
In your Styled Player List config (/config/styledplayerlist/config.json) change some values to update the names.
Set changePlayerName to true and playerNameUpdateRate to 20 as shown below
Reload Styled Chat by running /styledplayerlist reload
- in the console create a group to manage luckperms
lp creategroup luckperms - give the group luckperms rights (I will give it all)
lp g luckperms permission set luckperms.* - add yourself to the group
lp u yourUsername parent add luckperms(this can only work if you have joined before, after doing this you can continue in-game) - create a group with
/lp creategroup <name>example:/lp creategroup owner - give the group a prefix
/lp g owner meta setprefix "<blue>Owner" - give yourself the group
/lp u yourUsername parent add owner
Note: for styling of prefixes use Simplified Text Format, formatting with & will not work.
As you might have noticed in the results, there is nothing between the prefix and the username. You can fix this in your LuckPerms config.
Open the LuckPerms config (/config/luckperms/luckperms.conf) and search(ctrl+f) for meta-formatting, in the prefix section of this set end-spacer to " " to add a space between the prefix and your username.
Restart your server for this change to take effect.
- Problem: The prefixes shows up but colors don't work
Solution: Replace all legacy formatting (done with&) with tags from Simplified Text Format - Problem: Prefixes do not work/show up
Possible solution: If you are using a FTB library build between 188 and 204, downgrade to 188 or upgrade to anything newer than or 204
Hii! Thank you for replying! IDK if I'm supposed to use both the StyledPlayerList and OrderedPlayerList mods at the same time, but with the OrderedPlayerList mod installed, the server starts up fine including when I join, but as soon as another player joins, it crashes. Heres the image:
Thank you in advance for helping as well as for replying so swiftly! As a sidenote, I may be using the config wrong, so just in case I will attach my config file:
{ "updateRate": 5, "order": [ { "key": "weight", "reversed": true, "mode": "integer", "type": "metadata" }, { "placeholder": "player:name", "reversed": false, "mode": "string", "type": "placeholder" } ] }
