• 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

• Format permissions have also been moved out of the 'nick' node, into a 'format' node

• Admin nickname set permissions have been consolidated

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

• Adds a fix for servers that may have experienced any weirdness using the displayname placeholder - added a new placeholder: %simplenicks_nickname% to display the parsed nickname of the user
• Also adds a cache so that placeholder API is not constantly reading the save data directly

• Fixes an issue where nicknames would not load on login if login took too long
• Tested on 1.21.8

• Adds the ability to add a prefix to nicknamed players
• Fixes an issue where /snreload would not refresh people's nicknames
• Tested on 1.21.5

Fixes a small issue with the %simplenicks_mininick%placeholder, where it would return null if no nickname had been set.
