PronounsMC

PronounsMC is a Minecraft Spigot plugin that allows players to set and display their pronouns. It supports multiple database types (MySQL and SQLite) and provides customizable messages via language files.

Notes

• PlaceholderAPI is required for placeholders.
• We reccomend using a plugin like ChatInjector for use with plugins that don't support PlaceholderAPI like EssentialsX Chat.

Features

• Players can set and display their pronouns using simple commands.
• Pronouns are color-coded and configurable via config.yml.
• Supports MySQL or SQLite for data storage.
• Fully customizable messages via language files (e.g., lang/en_US.yml).
• Reload settings and messages without restarting the server.

Installation

1. Download the plugin jar file and place it in your server's plugins/ folder.
2. Start your server to generate the default configuration files.
3. Edit config.yml to configure:
   • Database type: Choose between mysql or sqlite.
   • Available pronouns: Customize the list of pronouns and their color-coded formats.
   • Language file: Specify the language file (default: en_US).
4. Restart your server or use /pronouns reload to apply changes. (Does not work for database changes)
