Prefix System

Ranks, chat format, nametag colors and tablist appearance.

The prefix system controls how players appear in chat, on the tablist and above their head. All three use the same prefix, so the look stays consistent everywhere.

What it does

  • Maps players to ranks based on permission nodes (muteessentials.rank.<key>).
  • Applies a configurable chat format with placeholders.
  • Sets the nametag color above the player's head.
  • Mirrors the prefix into the tablist entry.

Configuration

  Enabled: true

      priority: 100
KeyDescription
ChatFormatChat layout. %PREFIX%, %PLAYER%, %SUFFIX%, %MESSAGE% are replaced.
permissionThe node that assigns the rank. Leave empty for the default rank.
prefixShown before the player name. The last color code in the prefix determines the name color.
priorityHigher priorities win when a player holds multiple rank permissions.

Default rank colors map 1:1 to Minecraft dye colors, so a 16-wool picker in the AdminGUI matches the chat appearance.
