ColorfulNames Changelog

v1.2.0-Alpha

Chat text color (separate from name color)

- Separate chat color storage — player data adds chat-code (YAML / SQLite / MySQL), independent from name code - Preset / gradient config — default/colors.yml supports chat_code, start_chat / end_chat (and middle_chat); not shown in GUI, for placeholders and chat plugins - Auto-lighten fallback — when chat_code is unset and the player has not set a custom chat color, chat color is derived by lightening the name code ~25% - Commands - /namecolor chat <code> — set chat color only - /namecolor chat reset — clear custom chat color (back to preset mapping / auto-lighten) - /namecolor chat preset <id> — apply a preset’s chat_code (or lighten from preset code if unset) - /namecolor setchat <player> <code> — admin set - Config — config.yml → default-color-chat; world-default-colors.worlds-chat; special-dates.yml → chat_code; optional chat_code on permission default colors - PlaceholderAPI - %colorfulnames_code_chat% / %colorfulnames_code_tr_chat% / %colorfulnames_legacy_code_chat% - %colorfulnames_code_tr% — TR-style name code (gradients <g:#...>, solid &{#RRGGBB})

ColorfulNames Changelog

v1.1.3-Release

CMI nickname sync

- Auto-update CMI nickname after a color change — fixes CMI still showing white names (on by default) - Setting — integrations.cmi.sync-nickname-on-color-change (default true) - With no custom nick, writes the ColorfulNames colored username; with a custom nick, keeps the plain text and applies the current color plus the nickname-prefix marker - No effect when CMI is absent or the option is disabled

Colorful Names Changelog

v1.1.2-Release

SQLite local storage

- Third storage mode — storage.type now supports yaml, sqlite, and mysql - Use case — single servers that want more reliable local storage than YAML without running MySQL - Settings — config.yml → storage.sqlite - file — database file name (default colorfulnames.db, under the plugin data folder) - table-prefix — table name prefix (default colorfulnames_) - pool-size — connection pool size (default 1; keep at 1 for SQLite’s single-writer model) - connection-timeout-ms — connection timeout in milliseconds - Stored data — name color, favorites, color history, cooldown, and daily change limits (same fields as MySQL) - Failover — if SQLite cannot be opened, the plugin falls back to YAML and logs an error

Data migration

- `/namecolor storage convert <yaml|sqlite|mysql> [--delete-source] [--switch]` — migrate between all three storage types - Conversion uses the currently active storage as the source (no longer limited to yaml mysql) - If the target matches the active type, you get a clear “no conversion needed” message

More languages

- Six new built-in language packs (config.yml → language): - zh_TW Traditional Chinese - pt_BR Brazilian Portuguese - ko_KR Korean - ja_JP Japanese - ru_RU Russian - de_DE German - On upgrade, missing keys are auto-merged into plugins/ColorfulNames/lang/*.yml without replacing your whole file

v1.1.1-Release

MySQL storage & network sync

- Dual storage modes — storage.type: yaml (local playerdata.yml for single servers) or mysql (shared database, recommended for networks) - MySQL settings — config.yml → storage.mysql: host, port, database, credentials, table prefix, pool size, SSL, and more - Stored data — current name color, favorites, change cooldown, and daily change limits - Failover — if MySQL is unreachable, the plugin falls back to YAML and logs an error instead of failing to start

Admin commands

- `/namecolor storage status` — show the active storage type and the value in config - `/namecolor storage convert <yaml|mysql> [--delete-source] [--switch]` — migrate player data between YAML and MySQL - --delete-source — remove data from the source after migration (use with care) - --switch — write storage.type to config and reload after migration - Permission: colorfulnames.admin.storage
