Frequently asked questions

How do I set my nickname in the first place?
Use /nick set to give yourself a nickname, optionally adding formatting tags for colors or gradients. If you just want to remove it, run /nick clear or /nick reset to go back to your normal username.
What prefix do I need before color codes?
By default the mod uses # as its formatting prefix, so tags look like #red or #gradient rather than the old & codes. You can change this default prefix in styled-nicknames.json if you prefer a different symbol.
Why does my nickname show the raw tags instead of colors?
Formatting is only parsed when the tag matches an enabled formatting tag in the config. Check styled-nicknames.json to confirm the tag you used is listed and that formatting tags aren't disabled entirely.
Can I still use old &c style color codes?
Yes, but only if old-style formatting codes are enabled in the config. When that option is off, & codes are treated as plain text and won't color anything.
