Name Color GUI
Name Color GUI
A simple and easy to configure plugin that allows players to change their name color through a GUI.
Those with the permission "color.set" are also able to set the name color of others.
Name colors can also be set through the console.
Commands
/colors <player>
The player option is optional
Permissions
color.use - To use the command
color.set - To set other player's name color.
Configuration
Once a color is chosen, it will be stored in colors.yml:
nijabutter: '&c'
All colors displayed in the GUI can be configured in the config.yml
&c: enabled: true item: RED_WOOL name: &r&cRed Wool
Common Errors
Name color is not setting / sticking after logouts etc..
Try resetting the colors.yml file by deleting it and restarting the plugin. If you have other plugins, check that they do not change names and if they do read through their documentation / configurations to see if you can disable the behavior.
How do I manage permissions?
Using a permissions plugin is an easy and quick way to manage permissions.
Items are showing as cobblestone blocks and do not function
If you have changed the material of an item in the config.yml and it is invalid the plugin will display it as a cobblestone block and will disable it.
Have a look here for different material names:

Posted Jul 6, 2022Can you please fix your plugin? Players can spam shift click a wool and get the wool out of the GUI. And I can't use a plugin which basically dupes :(

Try either changing your name color manually in the colors.yml file or deleting it. If you have any other plugins that change your name at all they could be conflicting - try having a look at their configuration files too.

Posted Jan 21, 2021Colors are not setting? I am using LuckPerms as my Permission/Prefix/Rank Plugin
in the meta setprefix, I have &r at the end to reset the name colour to default white.
Example > /lp group owner meta setprefix 100 "&4Owner &r"
name then changes to White.
I then use /color and select purple or any other colour to test, And unfortunately nothing happens.. and stays either white or the default OP light red colour

Hi there! I tried my best to recreate your issue as I am unsure on what configurations you have changed in the Luck Perms plugin. Once giving myself the color.use and color.set permissions I was able to use the plugin fine.
However, I have re-written a lot of the plugin so please try again with the newest version. If the newest version is not available yet please download it from the GitHub:

Posted Oct 26, 2020Hey dawg! I'm running this on a Paper server and for some reason whenever I pick a color it doesn't show when I type but exclusively only on the scoreboard. Got a fix for me?

Hey there,
I've just tried running it on a fresh Paper server and it seems to work fine for me.
What other plugins are you using?

Posted Sep 7, 2020Can you try and make the colours save? When players relog it resets which gets annoying. Plus, light blue or "aqua" doesn't assign the right colour. I really like this plugin as it's the only one out there with an actual GUI but it has some issues.

Hi there sorry for the late reply!
I've fixed the issue with Aqua/Light Blue. Just download the newest release and make sure to delete the NameColorGUI folder.
If the newest version still doesn't retain the color after a logout let me know.
If the new release isn't up yet you can just download it from the GitHub here.
