# HexNicks<\/p>\n
HexNicks is a simple nickname plugin that allows players to set their nickname to anything they like containing normal
\ncolors, hex colors, and even gradients! It fully supports **only** Paper, though forks should work as well.
\nThere are only a few commands and permissions to limit what players use what commands. Though the plugin does have
\nsupport for MySQL storage, it’s mostly intended to be a simple nickname plugin for smaller Spigot\/Paper servers.<\/p>\n
## Features<\/p>\n
– Parsing via MiniMessage – here’s a handy website to practice.
\n– Optimized support for Paper. Forks should work as well.
\n– PlaceholderAPI support with the placeholder `%hexnicks_nick%` for player’s nicknames.
\n– MySQL storage support for users on BungeeCord\/Velocity.
\n– Metrics through bStats.
\n– Ability to format chat on it’s own, no external chat formatter needed.
\n– Simple api for developers.
\n– Full documentation here.<\/p>\n
## Support<\/p>\n
If you need help with the plugin and can’t find the answer in the documentation, then the best way to get help is to either join
\nmy Discord or post in discussions.
\nIf you join Discord make sure you read the frequently-asked channel before posting in the bug-reports channel
\n(if it’s a bug) or in the hexnicks channel (for general help).<\/p>\n
If you have discovered a bug you can either join my Discord to tell me about it and then
\nopen an issue on GitHub. An open issue is the quickest way to get me to fix it. Please do not message me on Spigot in regards to a bug, there are easier ways to communicate.<\/p>\n
