Simple Prefix: Allows you to easily manage your chat with prefixes and suffixes.
This plugin uses prefixes and suffixes that are very easy to configure, from inside of an yml config file. You apply prefixes and suffixes per user or group in the /SimplePrefix/config.yml file.
Alternatively, Simple Prefix can be configured to get the prefixes and suffixes from Vault supported chat plugins instead (PermissionsEx, bPermissions, etc.)
You can fully alter the chat format. For example, you could achieve the following ingame:
- [Admin] Flabaliki: my message here
Or even, just completely mix and match the template to get the look you want.
A developer API is available to those who wish to access prefixes and suffixes and use them within their own plugin. Click "Metadata" above.
That's basically what this is, just a lightweight plugin for quickly getting your prefixes and suffixes to work, however you want.
Read the Configuration page for instructions on how to use the plugin.
Features:
- Uses permissions to apply prefixes and suffixes to selected users or groups.
- Alternatively, can use prefixes and suffixes from plugins supported by Vault.
- Formatting/color codes are fully supported.
- Configure the chat format to display however you want.
- Developer API for fetching prefixes and suffixes.
- Easy to use commands for adding / removing prefixes in game.
- Set prefixes and suffixes per group or per user.
- Plays nicely with Essentials /nick command.
- Option to allow multiple prefixes / suffixes, and a configurable separator which is placed between them to separate them.
- A prefix or suffix tier system (so that you can make multiple ranking ladders).
- UUID support
- Offline mode server support (using usernames instead of UUIDs)
- Factions chat tags support (read our Configuration page)
Installation:
- Place Simple Prefix.jar into your plugins folder
- Restart or reload your server
- Edit your config.yml (see here for info)
Please carefully read the Configuration page!

Posted Jun 4, 2014Once I finish the UUID support, I'm going to upload the update. It is going to have UUID support, obviously, also better support for multiple prefixes or suffixes, and some bug fixes. I'm planning to add MySQL support to the update after that.

For the time format, try using this (I haven't tested it though):
[HH:mm]
instead of:
[h:mm aa]
Important: Make sure the H letters are uppercase for it to be 24 hour mode.
Note: For more information on the time formatting, you can visit the following link. It's the docs for the date formatter that this plugin uses. http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/text/SimpleDateFormat.html

Cool, but you should add an option to color that specific's groups chat. So like if they are owner it will say [Owner] BaranCODE: &4hi
basically the owner will be able to speak in red :D-

Posted Apr 13, 2014Everyone, I am making a new version of this plugin. It will be updated, and will have some changes in the code, but the main part of it will be the same. I am also adding some cool new features into it, such as using a MySQL backend, or better support for multiple prefixes.
I'll let you guys know when its finished and uploaded.

For me it still works on CraftBukkit 1.7.2-R0.2. However, as this project is marked as inactive, don't expect any support.

It was made to work with superperm plugins. I use PermissionsEx and it works fine. But to ensure safety, In the EP config file with all the ranks, just make sure that the highest priority is at the top. Like: Group: "Owner"(making it up), "Staff", "VIP", "default". Also remember that you have to completely restart the server for it to take action. I was frustrated with it, thinking it wasn't working.
