Rp Essentials Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I get started with RP Essentials after installing it?
Join your server and hold a license item in your hand, then right-click it to open your character menu. From there you can view your active jobs, set a roleplay nickname, and check your character statistics. Use `/rpessentials config reload` if settings don't load immediately.
What's the difference between my real name and my roleplay nickname?
Your real name is your Minecraft username, while your roleplay nickname is a custom name you set that appears in chat, above your head, and in private messages. Only players within proximity will see your nametag if nametag hiding is enabled, but your roleplay nickname displays regardless.
How do I hide my nametag so other players can't see my name?
Use `/rpessentials config set hideNametags true` to enable proximity-based nametag hiding. Your nametag will only be visible to players standing close to you; those farther away will see a blurred or hidden nametag instead.
Can I use dice rolls outside of roleplay events?
Yes, you can use `/roll ` anytime in chat—just type the dice notation like `/roll d20` or `/roll d6`. The result is public in chat, so it works for any situation where you need a random outcome.
Do professions and job licenses actually restrict what I can craft?
Yes, if your server has job restrictions enabled, certain professions will lock you out of crafting specific recipes or using certain equipment until you obtain the proper license. Check your character menu to see which jobs you hold and what they allow.
Will the mod cause lag or performance issues on my server?
RP Essentials is designed to run without server restarts and uses in-game configuration, so it's generally lightweight. Performance depends on your server hardware and how many players are online; if you experience issues, check with your server admin about mod compatibility.
Can staff see my roleplay nickname and character data?
Yes, server staff can inspect your player profile and view your character statistics, playtime, warnings, and active licenses through the mod's moderation tools. They can also add notes to your profile for record-keeping.
What happens to my character data if I leave the server?
Your character profile, playtime, licenses, and roleplay nickname are saved to the server and will persist when you rejoin. The mod tracks your connection history and total playtime across sessions.
Can I customize chat formatting or join/leave messages?
Yes, server admins can fully customize chat formatting, join announcements, and leave messages through the in-game configuration menu. You'll see these custom formats in your chat when they're enabled.
What should I do if my nametag isn't hiding or my nickname isn't showing?
Try running `/rpessentials config reload` to refresh the configuration files. If the issue persists, check with your server admin to ensure the mod is properly installed and that your server's settings have nametag hiding and custom nicknames enabled.
