⚑ Installation

This guide covers the basic installation process for LiteNameTags.


1. Download the plugin

Download LiteNameTags.jar and place it in your server's plugins folder.


2. Install PacketEvents

PacketEvents is required.

LiteNameTags depends on PacketEvents for packet-based rendering and internal packet handling, so make sure it is installed and loading correctly before continuing.


3. Install PlaceholderAPI (Optional)

PlaceholderAPI is optional, but strongly recommended if you plan to use dynamic placeholders such as prefixes, ranks, player information, or other custom values in your nametags.


4. Start the server

Start your server once so LiteNameTags can generate its default configuration files.


5. Review the generated files

After the first startup, LiteNameTags will generate its main configuration files:

  • config.yml

  • groups.yml

These files contain the core settings for the plugin and will be used in the next steps.


6. Edit the configuration

Before going live, review your configuration and make sure it matches your server setup.

At minimum, you should:

  • check the general settings

  • review placeholder usage

  • create or edit your main groups

  • verify compatibility with your current plugins


7. Reload the plugin

After making changes, run:
