Prefixes are special prefixes in front of player nicknames that allow you to classify characters and understand them in a large crowd of people in the chat. This feature allows you to select administrators, VIP-players, moderators. Also, the prefix in Minecraft allows you to specify the winner of a competition, to award an outstanding player with a mark, and so on. There are no restrictions on using this feature.
How to use?
Many of those who have been playing Minecraft for a long time know how to prescribe a nickname prefix. On some servers, this feature is available only to administrators or moderators, and in some places you can install a subscription yourself.
In both cases, you will need a special plugin that needs to be installed separately. It is worth saying that it will be required for any server so that you can fully manage it. One of these plugins is called Chat Prefixer. You can download it for free on the Internet. All prefixes in Minecraft are displayed not only in a text chat, but also near a nickname above the character’s head. Highlighting will make it easy to recognize one or another important player in the crowd of others.
How to prefix?
Now let's figure out how to install the consoles themselves before the nickname. To do this, you need to learn the basic commands that the admin will need in any case. These include:
- / prefix list - with this command you open color codes;
- / prefix - with this command you can change your prefix;
- / prefix [] nickname - change the prefix to any other player;
- / prefix -r nickname - remove the prefix from any player.
Now consider the writing structure of each command. For example, let's make the prefix [Admin] in red in front of our nickname. To do this, use the prompt with all the color prefixes in Minecraft, the command for which is presented above.
After that, you need to open the console and enter / prefix & cAdmin. In this command, the value & c is responsible for the red color, and after that comes the word that needs to be colored.
Opportunities
There are other options for this plugin. For example, you can color the prefix not only in one color, but also choose a shade for each letter, highlight italics, underline, bold words and so on. There is a separate command for each of the listed actions. For use, you must also add the & sign along with one specific letter. Depending on which plug-in you have installed, the identifiers of letters, colors and styles may vary. Read the instructions that will be attached to the program.
