Name Colors

A simple server-side mod that adds a command for changing your name color in chat

With the mod installed on the server, players may run /color <hex_code> (e.g. /color ffff8d) to change their color (the hex value may optionally be prefixed with #), and /color clear to reset their color back to the default.

All users with a color set will have their name appear in their color whenever they type in the chat

Server lagging with name colors – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if name colors 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.
