  • I have created a server, and i am currently trying to set it up with prefixes and suffixes in the chat. i have LuckPerms installed to be able to do this. I also have essentialsX installed. But. To be able to use luckperms in chat, i need to install essentials chat, after looking in forums i saw three things, each didnt work.

    This is what i have been thus far told:

    1) The original essentials has essentials chat in it - i am playing on 1.8+ so it is too old.


    2) use PEX and EX chat instead. Installed EX chat but could not find PEX. Also i want to stick with LuckPerms.


    3)Install vault. I did but nothing happened...



    Is there something i can do? Because this is very important to me.



    (BTW, my problem is that eventhough i am in the correct group and an admin, when i type in chat, nothing shows up, it is as if i have nothing installed.)


  • You don't need EssentialsChat to do that. Plus, you can try EssentialsX plugin, it supports 1.8 - 1.16+.

    You can watch some tutorial videos in Google, it may help you out how to set up prope

    As i said. i also have EssentialsX installed. My problem is that after my chat constimization, nothing comes up. And after looking on youtube toutorials, they all said i need to have Essentials chat installed.


    So i wanna know if i need essentials chat installed, becase aternos doesnt allow this, or if there is another plugin i can use

  • EssentialsChat (.jar file) will be automatically installed as soon as you install EssentialsX plugin.


    Find the line 60 in EssentialsX's config.yml, remove # at the beginning of the line, and then change #add-prefix-suffix: to true. Do /essentials reload and done

  • I did but it still doesnt work...
    Here is my essentialsX code relating to chat:


    ops-name-color: '6'


    # Disable this if you have any other plugin, that modifies the displayname of a user.

    change-displayname: false


    # When this option is enabled, the (tab) player list will be updated with the displayname.

    # The value of change-displayname (above) has to be true.

    change-playerlist: false


    # When EssentialsChat.jar isn't used, force essentials to add the prefix and suffix from permission plugins to displayname.

    # This setting is ignored if EssentialsChat.jar is used, and defaults to 'true'.

    # The value of change-displayname (above) has to be true.

    # Do not edit this setting unless you know what you are doing!

    add-prefix-suffix: true


    Im confused with this, because for the add-prefix-suffix to work, above needs to be true, but for above to be true, change-displayname also needs to be true. But it says to disable it if there is another plugin which modifys the display name of a user (LuckPerms). So in order for LuckPerms to work, i need to make a line of code that says that LuckPerms won't change the name...


    # When this option is enabled, player prefixes will be shown in the playerlist.

    # This feature only works for Minecraft version 1.8 and higher.

    # This value of change-playerlist has to be true

    # add-prefix-in-playerlist: true


    # When this option is enabled, player suffixes will be shown in the playerlist.

    # This feature only works for Minecraft version 1.8 and higher.

    # This value of change-playerlist has to be true

    #add-suffix-in-playerlist: true


    #format: '<{DISPLAYNAME}> {MESSAGE}'

    #format: '&7[Admin]&r {DISPLAYNAME}&7:&r {MESSAGE}'

    #format: '&7{PREFIX}&r {DISPLAYNAME}&r &7{SUFFIX}&r: {MESSAGE}'


    group-formats:

    # default: '{DISPLAYNAME}&7:&r {MESSAGE}'

    # admins: '&4[Admin]&4 &6{DISPLAYNAME}&6:{MESSAGE}'


    Is one of these stopping it? I know it isn't a problem with LuckPerms because I am in the correct group, and the OP colour should be gold. But whenever I message in chat, my name is white with no prefix or suffix.
