Easy Color
Have you ever wanted colored or gradient nicknames on your server? Let your players stand out with beautiful two-color gradients, support HEX colors, and full PlaceholderAPI integration?
Luckily for you, there's my plugin that makes it possible!
I originally made this for my Paper server on version 1.21.1, but I think it should work on higher versions too.
So, the plugin includes:
GRADIENT NICKNAMES
- Set two HEX colors for a smooth gradient
- Example:
/color #FF6B6B #4ECDC4 - Applies to tab list and above head
- Full MiniMessage support
HEX COLOR SUPPORT
- Full 6-digit HEX color codes
- Example:
#FF0000,#00FF00,#0000FF - Any color combination possible
- No limits on creativity
OFFLINE PLAYER SUPPORT
- Set gradient for offline players
- Applies automatically when they join
/colorother <player> <hex1> <hex2>- Perfect for admins and giveaways
PLACEHOLDERAPI INTEGRATION
%ColorSet_Nick%placeholder- Use in any plugin that supports PAPI
- Chat, tab list, scoreboard, and more
- Works with any display
AUTO-APPLY ON JOIN
- Gradients restore automatically
- No need to reapply on reconnect
- Seamless experience
- Works for online and offline players
