Plugin HexNicks - Easy nicknames with gradients!

HexNicks, Colorful Nicknames for Minecraft Servers

HexNicks is a Java plugin for a Minecraft server that lets players replace their visible name with a custom nickname. Through simple commands, users can set, remove, or recolor their nickname, while authorized staff can manage names for other players and look up the account behind a nickname.

Its main attraction is flexible text styling with MiniMessage, including standard colors, precise hex colors, CSS color names, formatting, and smooth gradients built from two or more shades. Permissions control access to each feature, and configuration options help administrators tailor color support and chat behavior. At BoxToPlay, we recommend it for servers seeking a polished, expressive identity system.
