BeeNameGenerator
I don't know my version or loader
Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.
No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

Usage
- Commands either require a permissions manager or OP level 4 in order to use them.
- You can set the "payment" item in the config, which is the item that is consumed when using the
/bng name autocommand (defaults to a name tag). - The naming radius can be set in the config, which is the radius around the player that the plugin will look for bees to name (defaults to 10 blocks).
- Some commands require an authenticated API key to use them, which is set in the config (you'd need to host your own API endpoint).
