  3. 3.2.0SimpleNicks 3.2.0Apr 12, 2026
    SimpleNicks v3.2.0 - New Features - MiniPlaceholders Support - SimpleNicks now integrates with [MiniPlaceholders](https://github.com/MiniPlaceholders/MiniPlaceholders), providing five audience-scoped tags for use in any MiniMessage-compatible context: | Tag | Description | |----------------------------|-------------------------------------| | <simplenick_nick> | The player's nickname | | <simplenick_prefixed_nick> | Nickname with the configured prefix | | <simplenick_stripped> | Nickname with formatting stripped | | <simplenick_prefixed_stripped> | Prefixed nickname with formatting stripped | | <simplenick_normalized> | Normalized nickname | /nick help Subcommand - A new /nick help subcommand displays only the commands the sender has permission to use. Player-only commands are hidden from console. Changes - Migrated from plugin.yml to paper-plugin.yml to use the Paper dependency format for PlaceholderAPI and MiniPlaceholders - Per-command help message keys (plugin.help.*) replace the old static HELP_MESSAGE locale entry, making each line individually customizable in locale.yml - Added simplenicks.nick.help permission node Dependencies - MiniPlaceholders is an optional soft-dependency - MiniPlaceholders tags are only registered if the plugin is present

  5. 3.0.0SimpleNicks 3.0.0 - Major UpdateSep 9, 2025

    Big Changes

    - Saving changed to MySQL & SQLite - Command structure has changed - Placeholder API placeholders changed - Permissions changed Please report any issues with this update! Thanks <3

    Saving now uses SQL to store data, allowing easier indexing

    This allows three new config options: - nickname-protection.online.enabled (Prevents people from setting the same nickname as someone else who is online) - nickname-protection.offline.enabled (Prevents people from setting the same nickname as someone regardless whether they're online or not) - nickname-protection.offline.expires (How many days a nickname should be protected for, if the person doesn't log in) Other new config options: require-permission - nick : whether the basic nickname commands should require permissions set by a permission plugin - color : Whether nicknames can have color without having permissions set by a permission plugin - format : Whether nicknames can have formatting without having permissions set by a permissions plugin - who : Whether you can look up who a user is based on their nickname without having permissions set by a permissions plugin New Commands: - /nick who <nickname> tells you the username of the player with the supplied nickname - /nick save can now take in an argument, so you can now do /nick save <nickname> if you want to save something that isn't your current nickname - /nick admin lookup <username> will display a user's current nickname, as well as their saved nicknames Changed Commands (Admin Commands) - Admin commands are no longer running from the same commands as the normal nickname commands, they are now as follows - /nick admin set <username> <nickname> - /nick admin reset <username> - /nick admin delete <username> <nickname> Removed: - Removed the ability to save a nickname for someone else - Removed the 'restrictive' and 'full' admin permissions, when setting a nickname for someone else, the plugin will always use the admins' permissions for parsing - Removed the 'save' permission, for the above listed reason

    Permission Changes:

    - Added: simplenick.bypass.nick-protection - Allows bypassing the new nick protection options - Color permissions have been moved out of the 'nick' node, and into their own 'color' node, and 'reset' has been moved into the color node | Old | New | | ------------------------------ | --------------------------- | | simplenick.nick.color | simplenick.color.basic | | simplenick.nick.gradient | simplenick.color.gradient | | simplenick.nick.rainbow | simplenick.color.rainbow | | simplenick.nick.format.reset | simplenick.color.reset | - Format permissions have also been moved out of the 'nick' node, into a 'format' node | Old | New | | -------------------------------------- | --------------------------------- | | simplenick.nick.format.underline | simplenick.format.underline | | simplenick.nick.format.italic | simplenick.format.italic | | simplenick.nick.format.strikethrough | simplenick.format.strikethrough | | simplenick.nick.format.bold | simplenick.format.bold | | simplenick.nick.format.obfuscated | simplenick.format.obfuscated | - Admin nickname set permissions have been consolidated | Old | New | | ------------------------------ | ---------------------- | | simplenick.admin.restrictive | simplenick.admin.set | | simplenick.admin.basic | simplenick.admin.set | | simplenick.admin.full | simplenick.admin.set |

    Placeholder API changes:

    - Placeholder now starts with simplenick to be consistent with the permissions and other naming schemes - Two new placeholders have been added: prefixed-mininick and prefixed-nickname - The prefixed placeholders will insert the configured prefix, this was previously the default behavior, so you might need to use this one if you need that | Old | New | | ------------------------ | -------------------------------- | | %simplenicks_mininick% | %simplenick_prefixed-mininick% | | %simplenicks_nickname% | %simplenick_nickname% | | None | %simplenick_mininick% | | None | %simplenick_nickname% |

    What's Changed

    - Abstract saving loading by @Peashooter101 in https://github.com/ADHDMC/SimpleNicks/pull/5 - Adds FILE type save handling (does not transfer over current PDC nicknames) config option - Adds - Adds /nick save which will save your current nickname, and add it to the tabcompletion list when you do /nick set - requires simplenick.save permission - Adds /nick delete <name> which will delete a nickname from your saved nicknames - requires simplenick.delete permission - Adds placeholderAPI placeholder: %simplenicks_mininick% which will give the unparsed, minimessage formatted nickname (example of mine): ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/45906780/213896…
    ⚠️ Note
    ----
    You will need to delete your config.yml and have the plugin regenerate it on startup. The default save type is now "file", and old nicknames will not be seen. If you want to switch back to PDC saving, change the save type and restart your server.
