NiceNamesGenerator

This plugin allows to generate random names, built from a number of syllables. There are text configuration files with sets of syllables which allows to generate names that consist of a specific set of syllables (i.e. making them sound elvish, or roman or whatever) or from all of them.

The plugin hooks into Placeholder API (PAPI), so a random name can be generated and retrieved through a simple placeholder.

Example placeholders:

• %nicenames_name% - Generates a random name from the "all" configuration file, with 2 syllables.
• %nicenames_uname% - Generates a unique random name from the "all" configuration file, with 2 syllables. Every unique name is persisted with a file within the plugin folder.
  
• %nicenames_name-elven% - Generates a random name from the "elven" configuration file, with 2 syllables.
• %nicenames_name-roman:4% - Generates a random name from the "roman" configuration file, with 4 syllables.
• %nicenames_name-all:2-5% - Generates a random name from the "all" configuration file, with 2, 3, 4 or 5 syllables.

Sometimes you may want to first generate a unique name, and then re-use that value (like a local variable) in follow-up commands. You can do this by using the special placeholder "lastname" or "lname", e.g.

• %nicenames_lastname%
• %nicenames_lname%

The lastname can be lowercased (required in some use case scenarios) by adding the suffix "Low" or "low", e.g.

• %nicenames_lnameLow%

Minecraft Versions

Has been tested in Spigot 1.8 and Paper 1.18.1. I assume it also runs in all versions in between.

NOTE: When running in a server of version 1.8.3 or older, you will need to add the Google GSON library. You can do this by simply installing this plugin:
