1. Installation:

1.1: How to use BetterNick on a single Spigot/Bukkit/Sponge server:
1. Install the "BetterNick 1.8.3 - 1.12.2.jar" on your server
2. Enable "Config.Nick On Join" in the config.yml if you want to get a nickname on join (if the player enabled autonick) or disable it if you don't want to get a nickname on join (if the player enabled autonick)
3. Set "MySQL.Enabled" to true if you want to save the data in a MySQL database or set it to false to save the data in a local file (slower)
3.1. Set up the MySQL connection by specifying username, password, database, host and port in the config.yml at "MySQL"

1.2: How to use BetterNick on a BungeeCord network:
Don't install the "BetterNick 1.8.3 - 1.12.2.jar" in your BungeeCord plugins folder! Always in the gameserver's plugins folder!
1. Install the "BetterNick 1.8.3 - 1.12.2.jar" on your gameserver(s)
2. Disable "Config.Nick On Join" in the config.yml on your Lobbyserver(s)
3. Set "Addons.AutoNick Item.Enabled" to true in the config.yml on your Lobbyserver(s)
4. Set "MySQL.Enabled" in the config.yml to true and set up the MySQL connection by specifying username, password, database, host and port in the config.yml at "MySQL" on all gameserver(s)

3. Advanced features with 3rd party plugins:

3.1. Longer Nametags with NametagEdit or ColoredTags:
- with one of these plugins you can set "Nick Options.Nametag Prefix" in the config.yml to a longer prefix than to one with only two chars
- with one of these plugins you can set up a Nametag Suffix at "Nick Options.Nametag Suffix" in the config.myl
3.2. Chat Prefix and Suffix:
- You can use Vault and a Vault compatible Chat plugin
- Alternative option: Using a Chat plugin that supports PlaceholderAPI, but Vault is required, too (kinda useless, but if you want to access prefix, nickname and suffix without the BetterNick API but with PlaceholderAPI you can do it that way)

3.2.1. Using Vault & any chat plugin:
- Use '{NICKPREFIX}' for the prefix of a player, '{NICKSUFFIX}' for the suffix and '{NICKNAME}' for the name of a player at the chat format in the chat plugin's config.yml
3.2.2. Using Vault & a (chat) plugin compatible with PlaceholderAPI:
- Use '%betternick_prefix%' for the prefix of a player, '%betternick_suffix%' for the suffix and '%betternick_name%' for the name of a player
4. Developer API

4.1. BetterNick API:
- The full BetterNickAPI can be found here

- To access the BetterNickAPI your main class should contain this:

Code (Text):

public static BetterNickAPI api;

@Override
public void onEnable() {
if(Bukkit.getPluginManager().getPlugin("BetterNick") != null) {
api = BetterNick.getApi();
}
}

- To create a /nick [name] command you could use this example (IMPORTANT: Keep this order of the methods):

Code (Text):

@Override
public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command cmd, String cmdlabel, String[] args) {
Player player = (Player) sender;
if(args.length == 0) {
api.setRandomPlayerNickName(player, nametagprefix, nametagsuffix);
api.setPlayerChatName(player, api.getNickName(player), chatprefix, chatsuffix);
api.setPlayerDisplayName(player, api.getNickName(player), displaynameprefix, displaynamesuffix);
api.setPlayerTablistName(player, api.getNickName(player), tablistprefix, tablistsuffix);
api.setRandomPlayerSkin(player);
} else if(args.length == 1) {
String nickname = args[0];
api.setPlayerNickName(player, nickname, nametagprefix, nametagsuffix);
api.setPlayerChatName(player, api.getNickName(player), chatprefix, chatsuffix);
api.setPlayerDisplayName(player, api.getNickName(player), displaynameprefix, displaynamesuffix);
api.setPlayerTablistName(player, api.getNickName(player), tablistprefix, tablistsuffix);
api.setRandomPlayerSkin(player);
}
}

- To create a /skin [name] command you could use this example:

Code (Text):

@Override
public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command cmd, String cmdlabel, String[] args) {
Player player = (Player) sender;
if(args.length == 0) {
api.setRandomPlayerSkin(player);
} else if(args.length == 1) {
String skin = args[0];
api.setPlayerSkin(player, skin);
}
}

-To create a /nicklist command you could use this example:

Code (Text):

@Override
public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command cmd, String cmdlabel, String[] args) {
Player player = (Player) sender; if(args.length == 0) {
for(Player nps : api.getNickedPlayers()) {
player.sendMessage(api.getNickName(nps) + " -> " + api.getRealName(nps));
}
}
}

- To create a /unnick command you could use this example:

Code (Text):

@Override
public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command cmd, String cmdlabel, String[] args) {
Player player = (Player) sender;
if(args.length == 0) {
if(api.isPlayerNicked(player)) {
api.resetPlayerNickName(player);
api.resetPlayerDisplayName(player);
api.resetPlayerTablistName(player);
api.resetPlayerChatName(player);
}
api.resetPlayerSkin(player);
api.removeNickedPlayer(p);
}
}

4.2. BetterNick Events:
- All events can be found here
- More examples can be found here

- To create a /nick [name] command you could use this example (IMPORTANT: Keep this order of the methods):

Code (Text):

@Override
public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command cmd, String cmdlabel, String[] args) {
Player player = (Player) sender;
if(args.length == 0) {
Bukkit.getPluginManager().callEvent(new PlayerCallRandomNickEvent(p));
Bukkit.getPluginManager().callEvent(new PlayerCallRandomSkinEvent(p));
} else if(args.length == 1) {
String nickname = args[0];
Bukkit.getPluginManager().callEvent(new PlayerCallNickEvent(p, nickname));
}
}

Code (Text):

@EventHandler
public void onPlayerCallNick(PlayerCallNickEvent e) {
e.setNickName(e.getNickName(), nametagprefix, nametagsuffix);
e.setPlayerChatName(e.getNickName(), chatprefix, chatsuffix);
e.setPlayerDisplayName(e.getNickName(), displaynameprefix, displaynamesuffix);
e.setPlayerTablistName(e.getNickName(), tablistprefix, tablistsuffix);
}
@EventHandler
public void onPlayerCallRandomNick(PlayerCallRandomNickEvent e) {
e.setRandomNickName(nametagprefix, nametagsuffix);
e.setPlayerChatName(e.getNickName(), chatprefix, chatsuffix);
e.setPlayerDisplayName(e.getNickName(), displaynameprefix, displaynamesuffix);
e.setPlayerTablistName(e.getNickName(), tablistprefix, tablistsuffix);
}
@EventHandler
public void onPlayerNick(PlayerNickEvent e) {
e.setNickMessage(message);
e.stopNickActionbarMessage();
e.setNickActionbarMessage(message);
}
@EventHandler
public void onPlayerCallRandomSkin(PlayerCallRandomSkinEvent e) {
e.setRandomSkin();
}
@EventHandler
public void onPlayerSkinSetEvent(PlayerSkinSetEvent e) {
e.setSkinSetMessage(message);
}

- To create a /unnick command you could use this example:

Code (Text):

@Override
public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command cmd, String cmdlabel, String[] args) {
Player player = (Player) sender;
if(args.length == 0) {
if(api.isPlayerNicked(player)) {
Bukkit.getPluginManager().callEvent(new PlayerCallUnnickEvent(p));
}
Bukkit.getPluginManager().callEvent(new PlayerCallSkinResetEvent(p));
BetterNickAPI.getApi().removeNickedPlayer(p);
}
}

Code (Text):

@EventHandler
public void onPlayerCallUnnick(PlayerCallUnnickEvent e) {
e.resetPlayerNickName();
e.resetPlayerDisplayName();
e.resetPlayerTablistName();
e.resetPlayerChatName();
}
@EventHandler
public void onPlayerUnnick(PlayerUnnickEvent e) {
