PermissionsExTabColors
This is a really lightweight plugin which gives Tab Prefixes/Colors according to the PermissionsEx groups. This plugin barely uses any memory and causes no lag. It just takes the users group from PermissionsEx and then reads what prefix/color they should have from the config.yml.
Click here to see the source code on GitHub.
Important
This plugin is not made by the creators of PermissionsEx! Do not ask them for help with this plugin unless I say it is a error in PermissionsEx.
This plugin will not work with any other Permissions plugin other than PermissionsEx, as I used the PermissionsEx API.
== How To Setup ==
- Run the plugin with PermissionsEx running. PermissionsExTabColors will then get the groups and put them in the /plugins/PermissionsExTabColors/config.yml file.
- By default, it will give every group the color 'GRAY' (§8). After this, you can open the config.yml and change this. Every group will be in the config.
- To edit, behind the colon, put (a) formatting code(s), you can also add prefixes!
Example:
This will give the Players belonging to group 'Admin' a [A] prefix.
Admin: §0[§cA§0]
FAQ
- Q: The tab prefix is white and has '&' signs in it! A: Replace the '&' signs in the config with '§'.
- Q: The tablist says: 'null<playername>'! A: This means you either did not setup the PermissionsEx properly, or you added illegal signs in the config, try replacing unusual signs with blank and see if it still occurs! If It does, please contact us in a ticket or in the comments below!
- Q: PermissionsExTabColors crashed my server! A: Contact me or leave a comment below! DO NOT contact the PermissionsEx authors, unless I confirm the bug is in their plugin/code.

Posted May 21, 2014Hey, I downloaded this plugin today and I wanted to test it, so after I installed it (I think correctly). And when I tried to use it it just did the nullhiimtoby (My player name) So I looked in the log and got this, hope it helps:
[08:59:44] [Server thread/INFO]: [PermissionsExTabColors] Enabling PermissionsExTabColors v1.7 [08:59:44] [Server thread/ERROR]: Error occurred while enabling PermissionsExTabColors v1.7 (Is it up to date?) java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: The embedded resource 'config.yml' cannot be found in plugins/PEXTabColors.jar at org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin.saveResource(JavaPlugin.java:182) [minecraft_server.jar:git-Bukkit-1.7.2-R0.3-66-g43d8943-b3078jnks] at org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin.saveDefaultConfig(JavaPlugin.java:170) [minecraft_server.jar:git-Bukkit-1.7.2-R0.3-66-g43d8943-b3078jnks] at com.ohqcraft.PEXTabColors.PEXTabColors.onEnable(PEXTabColors.java:18) [?:?] at org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin.setEnabled(JavaPlugin.java:250) [minecraft_server.jar:git-Bukkit-1.7.2-R0.3-66-g43d8943-b3078jnks] at org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPluginLoader.enablePlugin(JavaPluginLoader.java:324) [minecraft_server.jar:git-Bukkit-1.7.2-R0.3-66-g43d8943-b3078jnks]

Posted May 19, 2014@nboy1397 That is a problem with Minecraft since it limits all naming to 16 characters, going over this causes the name to cut off.

Posted May 19, 2014In 1.7.9 R0.2 bukkit the names get cut off if there are too many presets in the config. For example: Moderator: "\xa73[M]\xa7f" is fine with 'nboy1397' after, but VIP: "\xa76[VIP]\xa7f" cuts the name down to 'nboy139'. I've tried to restart the server and try other accounts, but their names get cut off more.
Also if your holding tab while the server is reloading it will crash the server and client.
