This page covers the main commands and permission nodes available in LiteNameTags.
Overview
LiteNameTags includes a small set of admin commands for reloading the plugin, checking performance metrics, and debugging nametag behavior.
In addition to command permissions, group permissions are also used to assign nametag formats through groups.yml.
Commands
/lnt reload
Reloads the plugin configuration and refreshes active nametags.
Use this command after editing config.yml or groups.yml.
/lnt perf
Displays engine and performance metrics.
This command is useful for checking how LiteNameTags behaves in your current environment, especially in crowded areas such as spawn, warps, or PvP zones.
/lnt perf reset
Resets the stored performance metrics.
This is useful when you want to clear old values and test again under fresh conditions.
/lnt debug <on|off|status|toggle>
Controls debug mode for nametag-related behavior.
This command can help when testing visibility, troubleshooting update issues, or checking how the plugin reacts in specific situations.
Examples:
/lnt debug on
/lnt debug off
/lnt debug status
/lnt debug toggle
Command Permissions
Admin commands only to trusted staff or administrators.
Group Permissions
Group permissions are defined in groups.yml.
These permissions decide which nametag group a player can receive.
Example group permissions
litenametags.group.admin
litenametags.group.vip
litenametags.group.default
If a player matches multiple groups, LiteNameTags will usually use the group with the highest weight.
