# PronounsMC<\/p>\n
**PronounsMC** is a Minecraft Spigot plugin that allows players to set and display their pronouns. It supports multiple database types (**MySQL** and **SQLite**) and provides customizable messages via language files.<\/p>\n
## Notes<\/p>\n
– PlaceholderAPI is required for placeholders.
\n– We reccomend using a plugin like ChatInjector for use with plugins that **don’t** support PlaceholderAPI like EssentialsX Chat.<\/p>\n
## Features<\/p>\n
– Players can set and display their pronouns using simple commands.
\n– Pronouns are color-coded and configurable via `config.yml`.
\n– Supports **MySQL** or **SQLite** for data storage.
\n– Fully customizable messages via language files (e.g., `lang\/en_US.yml`).
\n– Reload settings and messages without restarting the server.<\/p>\n

## Installation<\/p>\n
1. **Download** the plugin jar file and place it in your server’s `plugins\/` folder.
\n2. **Start your server** to generate the default configuration files.
\n3. **Edit `config.yml`** to configure:
\n – **Database type**: Choose between `mysql` or `sqlite`.
\n – **Available pronouns**: Customize the list of pronouns and their color-coded formats.
\n – **Language file**: Specify the language file (default: `en_US`).
\n4. **Restart your server** or use `\/pronouns reload` to apply changes. *(Does not work for database changes)*<\/p>\n
