Set Up Custom Name Reveal Formatting

Edit the Configuration File

Open your plugin's configuration file and locate the nicknameFormat setting. This controls how player names appear when you right-click on someone.

Apply Color and Format Codes

The plugin supports Minecraft's standard color codes using the § character. Common codes include:

  • `` for gold
  • `` for white
  • `` for bold text
  • `` to reset formatting

For example, the default format '-[%nickname%]-' displays names in brackets with gold accents.

Use Placeholders

Replace %nickname% with the player's actual name when revealed. If you have PlaceholderAPI installed, you can also use its supported placeholders to add rank tags, prefixes, or other custom information alongside the nickname.

Test Your Changes

Save the configuration file, then run /nametagHider reload in-game to apply your formatting without restarting the server. Right-click a player to see how your custom format displays.
