Usage
- Commands either require a permissions manager or OP level 4 in order to use them.
- You can set the "payment" item in the config, which is the item that is consumed when using the
/bng name autocommand (defaults to a name tag). - The naming radius can be set in the config, which is the radius around the player that the plugin will look for bees to name (defaults to 10 blocks).
- Some commands require an authenticated API key to use them, which is set in the config (you'd need to host your own API endpoint).

BeeNameGenerator server crashes on startup – what to do?
Most common cause: wrong bukkit version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.20.2). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.
Is BeeNameGenerator compatible with bukkit and fabric and folia and forge and neoforge and paper and purpur and spigot and sponge?
BeeNameGenerator officially supports bukkit, fabric, folia, forge, neoforge, paper, purpur, spigot, sponge for Minecraft 1.20.2, 1.20.1, 1.20. Note: Forge and Fabric mods are NOT cross-compatible – pick one loader and stick with it. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with BeeNameGenerator – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if BeeNameGenerator consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
