(More Versions Coming Soon)
Note: Always download the mod version that matches your Minecraft version.
📁 Configuration Files
The mod uses two main configuration files:
config/dreamcraft_name_colors-common.toml — Define or modify the list of available colors.
config/set-namecolors.json — Stores each player’s chosen color (updated automatically when they use /namecolor).
🎨 Customizing Colors
Want to add your own color? Just edit the TOML file! Colors are defined using standard hex codes.
Example: dreamcraft_name_colors-common.toml (default configuration)
[colors]
# Define custom named colors. Format: "colorName=#RRGGBB"
# (Hex codes may include or omit the '#' prefix)
namedColors = [
"blue=#0000FF",
"red=#FF0000",
"green=#00FF00",
"orange=#FFA500",
"pink=#FFC0CB",
"gray=#808080",
"black=#000000",
"white=#FFFFFF",
"yellow=#FFFF00",
"gold=#FFD700",
"aqua=#00FFFF"
]
💡 Tip: To add a new color, just append an entry like "magenta=#FF00FF" to the list and restart the game (or reload configs if your mod supports it).
