Plugin Stats - Starting 1.1.9+

HStats


MysticNameTags is a modern, permission-driven, and performance-focused tag and nameplate system for Hytale servers.

Built for servers that want:

  • Clean UI
  • Flexible tag progression
  • Strict permission control
  • Optional economy support
  • Multi-stat unlock requirements
  • Seasonal and event-driven cosmetic tags
  • Optional experimental glyph nameplates
  • Minimal overhead and no pointless tick spam

⚠ Compatibility Warning - Please Read

MysticNameTags v1.2.6 is built for Hytale Update 5 / Hytale 0.5.x+.

This version will ONLY work on Hytale 0.5.x+.

It is not compatible with older dated Hytale server builds such as:

2026.03.26-*

If your server is still running an older Hytale build, do not update to MysticNameTags v1.2.6 yet.

Before updating, back up:

settings.json
tags.json
playerdata

After installing the new jar:

  • Make sure your server is running Hytale 0.5.x+.
  • Restart the server.
  • Confirm MysticNameTags loads without compatibility errors.
  • Run /tagsadmin doctor.
  • Check the Admin Dashboard health/debug section.
  • Test /mnametags nameplate status.
  • Equip a packet glyph tag and verify self-view and other-player nameplates render correctly.
  • If you use RPG Leveling requirements, verify tags using the rpgleveling.* requirement keys.

WARNING - Please Read

MYSTICNAMETAGS IS NOT A RANK REPLACEMENT. IT IS BUILT FOR COSMETIC FLAIR, PROGRESSION TITLES, AND PLAYER IDENTITY.

This mod does not currently replace fully colored third-party nameplate solutions such as HTNameplates.

If you want fully colored nameplates right now, use HTNameplates.

MysticNameTags is instead focused on:

  • progression-based tags
  • unlock requirements
  • placeholder support
  • economy-based cosmetic titles
  • event and seasonal tags
  • future-forward nameplate expansion

Experimental Glyph Nameplates

MysticNameTags includes an experimental glyph-based nameplate system.

This system is still under active development and should be treated as experimental.

Important notes:

  • glyph nameplates are far more expensive than normal text-based nameplates
  • each visible character is effectively rendered through spawned glyph entities
  • lower entity limits can cause wording to be cut off
  • Hytale may not support every decorative Unicode symbol
  • this system is best suited for testing, roleplay events, or smaller servers while it continues to mature

Recent versions introduced major progress toward a more stable glyph nameplate foundation, including:

  • improved rendering stability
  • better movement/attachment handling
  • cross-world support
  • crash fail-safes for nameplate load failures
  • selectable glyph font folders
  • safer behavior in multi-world environments

📦 Suggested Mods / Integrations

These are optional but supported by MysticNameTags:

  • Third Person Nameplates

✨ Features


🏷 Fully Custom Tag System

Define unlimited tags in:

tags.json

Each tag supports:

  • custom display names
  • & formatting codes
  • hex colors via &#RRGGBB
  • optional economy pricing
  • permission requirements
  • playtime requirements
  • multi-stat requirements
  • owned-tag progression requirements
  • item tribute requirements
  • unlock console commands
  • category grouping
  • placeholder-based requirements
  • seasonal/event availability windows

Tags can be:

  • free
  • permission-locked
  • stat-based
  • playtime-based
  • purchase-based
  • item-based
  • placeholder-gated
  • progression-locked
  • seasonal/event-limited
  • any combination of the above

All configured conditions must be met unless the tag is intentionally configured otherwise.


📅 Seasonal / Event Tags

MysticNameTags supports limited-time tags for holidays, events, seasons, server launches, and temporary promotions.

Example:

{
  "id": "event.winter_frost",
  "display": "&b[Frost]",
  "description": "Winter event tag.",
  "category": "Seasonal",
  "season": "Winter 2026",
  "activeFrom": "2026-12-01",
  "activeUntil": "2027-01-15",
  "availabilityMessage": "The Frost tag is only unlockable during the Winter event.",
  "purchasable": true,
  "price": 500
}

Seasonal behavior:

  • unowned tags outside their active window are hidden from normal players
  • owned tags can still be equipped after the event ends
  • inactive event tags can be shown in debug/admin visibility paths
  • custom availabilityMessage text is shown when an unavailable tag is attempted
  • /tagsadmin doctor reports seasonal tags that are currently outside their window

Date-only values are interpreted in UTC. For example, activeUntil: "2027-01-15" ends at the next UTC midnight.


🧠 Advanced Unlock Requirements

MysticNameTags supports layered requirement logic such as:

  • permission
  • requiredPlaytimeMinutes
  • requiredOwnedTags
  • requiredStatKey + requiredStatValue
  • requiredStats
  • requiredItems
  • requiredPlaceholders
  • purchasable + price
  • activeFrom + activeUntil

Supported Stat Keys

Internal stats via PlayerStatManager:

  • custom.kills_total
  • custom.deaths_total
  • custom.damage_dealt
  • custom.damage_taken
  • killed.<entityId>
  • mined.<blockId>
  • placed.<blockId>

Examples:

  • killed.goblin_miner
  • killed.Player
  • killed.goblin_*
  • mined.hytale:stone

Wildcard matching is supported where applicable.

EndlessLeveling Stat Keys

  • endlessleveling.level
  • endlessleveling.xp
  • endlessleveling.prestige
  • endlessleveling.skill.<ATTRIBUTE>

Examples:

  • endlessleveling.skill.LIFE_FORCE
  • endlessleveling.skill.STRENGTH
  • endlessleveling.skill.ATTACK

These are bridged into MysticNameTags and can be used directly in requirement displays and unlock logic.


🎁 On Unlock Commands

Each tag can optionally execute console commands the first time it is unlocked.

Example:

"onUnlockCommands": [
  "give <player> diamond 3",
  "broadcast &6<player> has unlocked the Primordial tag!"
]

How it works:

  • runs only once on first unlock
  • executes as console
  • replaces <player> automatically

Useful for:

  • crate keys
  • rank rewards
  • item rewards
  • broadcasts
  • external integration hooks

Placeholder Requirement Operators

MysticNameTags supports multiple placeholder comparison types.

Numeric operators

  • >
  • >=
  • <
  • <=
  • ==
  • !=

String operators

  • ==
  • !=
  • contains

Boolean operators

  • true
  • false

Examples:

{
  "placeholder": "%wi_level%",
  "operator": ">=",
  "value": "100"
}
{
  "placeholder": "%luckperms_primary_group%",
  "operator": "==",
  "value": "vip"
}
{
  "placeholder": "%some_permission_placeholder%",
  "operator": "true",
  "value": "true"
}

This makes it easy to gate tags behind:

  • ranks
  • web sync flags
  • external status values
  • custom placeholder systems
  • permission-style checks

🎨 Color Formatting

MysticNameTags supports color formats that Hytale currently handles reliably.

Supported formatting

  • legacy & color/format codes
  • hex colors using &#RRGGBB
  • MiniMessage subset colors and gradients

Examples:

&6&l[Champion]
&#FFAA00&l[Dragon Soul]

Nameplate color limitations

Due to current Hytale API limitations:

  • full colored native nameplate rendering is still limited
  • multi-line native nameplates are still constrained by the game/client
  • decorative symbols may not render in all Hytale text paths
  • final visual rendering is still partially controlled by the client

MysticNameTags will continue to expand proper nameplate styling as Hytale’s APIs mature.


🖥 Clean & Scalable UI

Open the main interface with:

/tags

Included features:

  • tag browser UI
  • category filtering
  • locked vs unlocked state indicators
  • seasonal/event tag state indicators
  • requirement breakdown panels
  • current nameplate preview
  • pagination for large tag libraries

Additional UI:

/tagsowned

Shows only tags already unlocked by the player, if enabled in settings.json.


🛠 Admin Dashboard

MysticNameTags includes an Admin Dashboard for server owners and admins.

Dashboard features include:

  • update information
  • integration status
  • permission backend visibility
  • economy backend visibility
  • placeholder backend visibility
  • nameplate integration status
  • active nameplate preset display
  • active glyph font display
  • doctor/debug health summary

The dashboard is meant to make common configuration issues visible without digging through logs.


🩺 Config Doctor

Run:

/tagsadmin doctor

The doctor command checks common configuration problems, including:

  • malformed or duplicate tag IDs
  • missing displays
  • invalid prices
  • default tag problems
  • seasonal/event availability windows
  • availability messages without availability windows
  • economy configuration issues
  • missing permission nodes when permission gates are enabled
  • item, stat, placeholder, and owned-tag requirement issues
  • multiline nameplate formats without glyph nameplates enabled
  • active nameplate preset behavior
  • active glyph font behavior

INFO findings are usually informational. For example, a seasonal tag outside its active window is expected behavior unless it should currently be live.


🔐 Permission-First Design

MysticNameTags is designed around permission safety.

Core notes:

  • all tags can respect permissions
  • nothing is hardcoded into the plugin for tag unlock nodes
  • tag permissions come from tags.json
  • checks are cached and refreshed safely
  • no pointless polling loops

Core permission nodes:

  • mysticnametags.ui.open
  • mysticnametags.reload
  • mysticnametags.admin.update

Permission Gate Modes

Soft Permission Gate

"permissionGate": true

Tags remain visible, but the player still needs the permission to unlock or equip them.

Full Permission Gate

"fullPermissionGate": true

Tags are fully hidden when the player lacks permission.

Useful for:

  • donor tags
  • staff tags
  • admin-only tags
  • hidden event tags
  • seasonal content

🔄 Multi-Permission Backend Support

MysticNameTags supports multiple permission backends and probes them safely.

Supported:

  • native Hytale permissions
  • LuckPerms
  • PermissionsPlus
  • HyperPerms

If no third-party backend is found, the plugin safely falls back to native Hytale permissions.


💰 Optional Economy Support

MysticNameTags supports both ledger-style economies and physical currency systems.

Supported ledger backends

The plugin probes these in order and uses the first valid backend:

  • EconomySystem / TheEconomy and forks
  • HyEssentialsX EconomyAPI
  • EcoTale
  • VaultUnlocked
  • EliteEssentials

Physical currency support

Full support exists for Coins & Markets style physical coin systems.

This allows:

  • item-based currency
  • direct coin removal
  • no virtual balance requirement

When economy logic runs

Economy checks only run when needed:

  • opening the /tags UI
  • attempting to purchase a tag

There are no useless per-tick economy loops.

If no economy is available, or economy is disabled, the plugin safely shows:

Balance: N/A

and price-based tags become non-purchasable.


🔌 Optional Integrations

MysticNameTags includes safe optional support for:

  • LuckPerms
  • PermissionsPlus
  • HyperPerms
  • PrefixesPlus
  • EconomySystem / TheEconomy
  • EcoTale
  • VaultUnlocked
  • Coins & Markets
  • EliteEssentials
  • HyEssentialsX
  • HelpChat PlaceholderAPI
  • WiFlow PlaceholderAPI
  • RPG Leveling
  • EndlessLeveling
  • EcoTalesQuests (early Adventurer Rank override support)

If an integration is not installed, it is skipped safely without hard errors.


🎮 RPG Leveling Integration

MysticNameTags supports RPG Leveling nameplate values and tag requirements.

To avoid nameplate conflicts with RPG Leveling:

In RPG Leveling config:

EnablePlayerLevelNameplate = false

In settings.json:

"rpgLevelingNameplatesEnabled": true,
"rpgLevelingRefreshSeconds": 30

Then restart or reload MysticNameTags.

Starting with MysticNameTags v1.2.5, RPG Leveling support has been updated for Hytale Update 5 / RPG Leveling 0.3.6+.

Supported requirement keys include:

rpgleveling.lvl
rpgleveling.skills.<stat>
rpgleveling.skills.available
rpgleveling.skills.total
rpgleveling.classes
rpgleveling.classes.<classId>
rpgleveling.classes.tier
rpgleveling.classes.tier.<classId>
rpgleveling.progression
rpgleveling.progression.xp
rpgleveling.progression.required_xp
rpgleveling.progression.class_kills

Older aliases are still preserved where possible, including:

rpgleveling.level
rpgleveling.class.*
rpgleveling.class_tier.*

This allows tags to be locked behind RPG Leveling progression, class data, skill stats, XP progress, and class kill progression.


⚙ Configuration Guide

settings.json

MysticNameTags generates a structured settings.json on first run.


Core

"nameplatePreset": "CUSTOM",
"nameplateFormat": "{rank} {name} {tag}\\n{endless_race} - [Lv. {endless_level} - P{endless_prestige}]",
"stripExtraSpaces": true,
"language": "en_US",
"tagDelaysecs": 60

Supported format tokens include:

  • {rank}

Experimental Glyph Nameplates

"experimentalGlyphNameplatesEnabled": true,
"experimentalGlyphFont": "default",
"experimentalGlyphMaxChars": 32,
"experimentalGlyphUpdateTicks": 1,
"experimentalGlyphMaxEntitiesPerPlayer": 72,
"experimentalGlyphViewerActivationDistance": 12.0,
"experimentalGlyphViewerDropDistance": 14.0,
"experimentalGlyphViewerRefreshActiveMs": 1,
"experimentalGlyphViewerRefreshIdleMs": 50,
"experimentalGlyphIdleFollowIntervalMs": 50,
"experimentalGlyphRotationSyncIntervalMs": 1,
"experimentalGlyphMaxLines": 2,
"experimentalGlyphMaxCharsPerLine": 32,
"experimentalGlyphLineSpacing": 0.3,
"experimentalGlyphTintStrength": 1.0

Available glyph fonts:

  • default
  • sans
  • serif
  • comic
  • cursive
  • impact
  • mono
  • thin

The default font uses the root glyph assets in:

Common/NPC/MysticNameTags

The named fonts use their matching folders, such as:

Common/NPC/MysticNameTags/sans
Common/NPC/MysticNameTags/comic
Common/NPC/MysticNameTags/serif

Important notes:

  • glyph nameplates are experimental
  • each character consumes entity budget
  • lower experimentalGlyphMaxEntitiesPerPlayer improves performance but increases the chance of cut-off wording
  • longer formats and multiple lines need higher values
  • use plain ASCII in test configs if Hytale does not render decorative symbols reliably
  • use with care on larger servers

⚙ Recommended Glyph Settings

Small servers (1-15 players)

Use these for maximum visual quality:

"experimentalGlyphUpdateTicks": 1,
"experimentalGlyphMaxEntitiesPerPlayer": 72,
"experimentalGlyphViewerActivationDistance": 12.0,
"experimentalGlyphViewerDropDistance": 14.0,
"experimentalGlyphViewerRefreshActiveMs": 1,
"experimentalGlyphViewerRefreshIdleMs": 50,
"experimentalGlyphIdleFollowIntervalMs": 50,
"experimentalGlyphRotationSyncIntervalMs": 1,
"experimentalGlyphMaxLines": 2,
"experimentalGlyphMaxCharsPerLine": 32

Medium servers (15-40 players)

Use these for balanced visuals and performance:

"experimentalGlyphUpdateTicks": 2,
"experimentalGlyphMaxEntitiesPerPlayer": 48,
"experimentalGlyphViewerActivationDistance": 10.0,
"experimentalGlyphViewerDropDistance": 12.0,
"experimentalGlyphViewerRefreshActiveMs": 5,
"experimentalGlyphViewerRefreshIdleMs": 75,
"experimentalGlyphIdleFollowIntervalMs": 75,
"experimentalGlyphRotationSyncIntervalMs": 5,
"experimentalGlyphMaxLines": 2,
"experimentalGlyphMaxCharsPerLine": 24

Large servers (40+ players)

Use these only if you want to prioritize stability:

"experimentalGlyphUpdateTicks": 3,
"experimentalGlyphMaxEntitiesPerPlayer": 32,
"experimentalGlyphViewerActivationDistance": 8.0,
"experimentalGlyphViewerDropDistance": 10.0,
"experimentalGlyphViewerRefreshActiveMs": 10,
"experimentalGlyphViewerRefreshIdleMs": 100,
"experimentalGlyphIdleFollowIntervalMs": 100,
"experimentalGlyphRotationSyncIntervalMs": 10,
"experimentalGlyphMaxLines": 1,
"experimentalGlyphMaxCharsPerLine": 16

Glyph tuning notes

  • lowering experimentalGlyphMaxEntitiesPerPlayer has one of the biggest performance impacts
  • lowering it too much can cause nameplate wording to cut off
  • reducing experimentalGlyphMaxCharsPerLine lowers entity usage
  • increasing refresh intervals improves performance
  • fewer lines means fewer glyph entities
  • longer nameplate formats require higher entity budgets

⚙ Glyph Reload Behavior

To avoid massive update spikes across all worlds, glyph nameplates are not force-refreshed globally when reload runs.

Running:

/mnatags reload

does not instantly rebuild every active glyph nameplate in every loaded world.

This is intentional.

Why?

Because force-updating all glyph nameplates globally can create:

  • unnecessary lag spikes
  • cross-world refresh overhead
  • mass entity churn
  • worse performance on busy or multi-world servers

How do glyphs update then?

Glyphs update naturally when:

  • a player joins a world
  • a player equips or changes a tag
  • a player status/integration value changes
  • a normal internal refresh path is triggered

Manual refresh note

If you want an immediate post-reload visual update, the player should simply re-equip their tag.

This localized refresh behavior is an optimization choice and helps prevent global lag.


🌍 Cross-World Glyph Safety

MysticNameTags includes:

  • cross-world nameplate support
  • safer world transition handling
  • fail-safes when glyph nameplates fail to load in another world

If a glyph/nameplate fails to load during a cross-world situation:

  • the world should not crash
  • the player should not crash
  • the nameplate safely skips or recovers instead of causing a fatal failure

This is a major stability improvement for multi-world environments.


Placeholder Support

HelpChat PlaceholderAPI

  • %mystictags_tag%
  • %mystictags_tag_plain%
  • %mystictags_full%

WiFlow PlaceholderAPI

  • {mystictags_tag}
  • {mystictags_tag_plain}
  • {mystictags_full}
  • {mystictags_full_plain}

These can be used in chat, scoreboards, UI systems, and other supported integrations.


🌐 Language Support

MysticNameTags includes locale files such as:

lang/en_US.json

Language selection is controlled in settings.json:

"language": "en_US"

Behavior:

  • missing keys fall back to en_US
  • custom locales can be expanded manually
  • new updates may add additional keys

Relevant files include:

messages.json
howitworkspanel.json

If you update from older versions, regenerate message/language files when required.


📋 Tag Schema

MysticNameTags includes:

tag.schema.json

This can help editors validate tags.json fields such as:

  • id
  • display
  • price
  • category
  • requiredStats
  • requiredItems
  • placeholderRequirements
  • activeFrom
  • activeUntil
  • availabilityMessage

⚡ High Performance Design

MysticNameTags is designed to avoid wasteful processing.

Performance principles:

  • no meaningless tick spam for tags
  • economy logic only runs when needed
  • permission checks are cached
  • stat updates are event-driven where possible
  • playtime updates run on controlled intervals
  • glyph systems avoid dangerous global refresh behavior

🚧 Active Development Roadmap

Current and planned focus includes:

  • continued work toward a stable glyph nameplate system
  • more nameplate preset options
  • deeper seasonal/event tooling
  • image support for nameplates and tags
  • more mod integrations
  • deeper external system compatibility
  • long-term nameplate revamp by v2.0

v1.2.7 planned direction

The remaining post-Update-5 feature work is planned to continue in v1.2.7.

v2.0 goal

A full revamp of the nameplate system with:

  • better rendering behavior
  • better scalability
  • more flexibility
  • cleaner long-term architecture

✅ Summary

MysticNameTags delivers:

  • modern tag management
  • layered unlock requirements
  • economy-backed cosmetic progression
  • placeholder-driven logic
  • optional integrations
  • seasonal and event tag support
  • clean player UI
  • admin diagnostics
  • configurable progression paths
  • strong performance-aware design

⚠ Notice

Hytale’s APIs and surrounding ecosystem are still evolving.

MysticNameTags will continue adapting as the API matures, integrations improve, and more rendering options become possible.

The project remains actively maintained and continues to expand.


🏷 MysticNameTags FAQ


❓ What is MysticNameTags?

MysticNameTags is a cosmetic player tag and nameplate system for Hytale servers.

It allows players to unlock and equip titles such as:

[Wanderer] PlayerName
[Miner] PlayerName
[Dragon Soul] PlayerName

Tags can be unlocked through:

  • permissions
  • stats
  • playtime
  • items
  • purchases
  • placeholders
  • progression chains
  • seasonal events
  • external integrations

❓ Is MysticNameTags a rank system?

No.

MysticNameTags is not a replacement for ranks or permission groups.

It is built for:

  • cosmetic titles
  • progression tags
  • donor flair
  • quest rewards
  • achievement-style titles
  • event and seasonal rewards

Ranks themselves should still be managed by a permission backend.


❓ Does MysticNameTags support fully colored nameplates?

Not fully yet.

Due to Hytale API limitations, full colored native nameplate rendering is still limited.

What works well right now:

  • colored tags in UI
  • colored tags in chat via placeholders
  • colored placeholder output in supported systems
  • colored glyph nameplates in the experimental glyph renderer

For fully colored nameplates right now, use:

HTNameplates

MysticNameTags can work alongside it.


❓ What are glyph nameplates?

Glyph nameplates are an experimental alternate rendering mode where nameplate text is built from glyph entities instead of relying only on default text rendering.

This allows more control, but it is much heavier than normal nameplate behavior.


❓ How do I choose a glyph font?

Set:

"experimentalGlyphFont": "sans"

Available values:

default, sans, serif, comic, cursive, impact, mono, thin

The default font uses the root glyph assets. Named fonts use their matching folders in Common/NPC/MysticNameTags.


❓ Are glyph nameplates production-ready?

Not fully.

They are improving rapidly, and recent updates added:

  • rendering stability improvements
  • movement/attachment improvements
  • cross-world support
  • crash fail-safes
  • selectable glyph fonts

But they are still considered experimental and should be used carefully on larger servers.


❓ Why is my glyph nameplate text cut off?

Usually because:

"experimentalGlyphMaxEntitiesPerPlayer"

is set too low.

This value limits how many glyph entities can be used for a player's rendered nameplate.

Lower value:

  • better performance

Higher value:

  • more complete wording

If long nameplates or multi-line formats are used, increase this value.


❓ Why didn’t glyph nameplates instantly update after reload?

Because glyph nameplates are not force-refreshed globally on reload.

This is intentional and prevents lag spikes across all worlds.

Glyphs usually update when:

  • a player re-equips a tag
  • a player joins a world
  • a state refresh happens naturally

If you want an immediate update after reload, have the player re-equip their tag.


❓ Does MysticNameTags support multi-world servers?

Yes.

Recent glyph updates added:

  • cross-world nameplate handling
  • safer world transition logic
  • fail-safe protection if nameplates fail while a player is in another world

This prevents world crashes and player crashes caused by broken glyph loading edge cases.


❓ Does MysticNameTags support other entities?

No.

MysticNameTags is built specifically for players.

It does not provide tags for:

  • mobs
  • NPCs
  • armor stands
  • general custom entities

❓ How do I show tags in chat?

Use a chat system that supports placeholders.

Supported placeholder APIs include:

  • HelpChat PlaceholderAPI
  • WiFlow PlaceholderAPI

Examples:

%mystictags_tag%
%mystictags_full%

or

{mystictags_tag}
{mystictags_full}

❓ How do players unlock tags?

Tags are defined in:

tags.json

A tag can require:

  • permissions
  • playtime
  • stats
  • items
  • other tags
  • placeholders
  • economy purchases
  • seasonal/event windows

All configured requirements must be met.


❓ Can tags require multiple conditions?

Yes.

A tag can require multiple conditions at once.

For example:

  • kill 100 enemies
  • have 5 hours playtime
  • reach level 10
  • own another tag first
  • be inside an active event window

This allows deep progression chains and RPG-style tag paths.


❓ How do seasonal tags work?

Seasonal tags use:

"activeFrom": "2026-12-01",
"activeUntil": "2027-01-15",
"availabilityMessage": "This tag is only unlockable during the Winter event."

Players who do not own the tag can only unlock it while the window is active.

Players who already own it can continue to equip it after the event ends.


❓ Do you support stat requirements?

Yes.

Stats can come from:

  • MysticNameTags internal stat tracking
  • EndlessLeveling
  • RPG Leveling
  • custom or bridged stat providers

Examples:

killed.enemy_miner
mined.hytale:stone
endlessleveling.level
endlessleveling.skill.ATTACK
rpgleveling.lvl
rpgleveling.skills.damage

❓ Do stat wildcards work?

Yes.

Wildcard matching is supported where relevant.

Example:

killed.enemy_*

This can count all matching enemy-type entity kills.


❓ Does MysticNameTags support EndlessLeveling?

Yes.

Supported values include:

  • level
  • XP
  • prestige
  • skill levels
  • race display
  • class display options

It can also show compatible values in nameplates depending on your format.


❓ Does MysticNameTags support RPG Leveling?

Yes.

MysticNameTags can display RPG Leveling information on nameplates, but you should disable conflicting native RPG Leveling nameplate output first.


❓ Does MysticNameTags support EcoTalesQuests?

Yes, in early form.

Current support includes:

  • Adventurer Rank nameplate override support

This integration is limited right now because EcoTalesQuests does not yet expose the full API surface needed for deeper, fully reliable integration.

Support can expand further once a more complete API is available.


❓ Can tags require permissions?

Yes.

You can define permissions directly in tags.json.

MysticNameTags supports:

  • soft permission gating
  • full permission gating

Soft gate:

  • visible but unusable without permission

Full gate:

  • completely hidden without permission

❓ Does MysticNameTags support economy purchases?

Yes.

Supported economy styles include:

  • ledger economies
  • physical item economies

Compatible examples:

  • EcoTale
  • HyEssentialsX
  • VaultUnlocked
  • EconomySystem / TheEconomy
  • Coins & Markets
  • EliteEssentials

❓ Does MysticNameTags cause lag?

Normally, no.

The main tag/unlock/economy systems are built to be lightweight.

Performance design includes:

  • no per-tick tag polling
  • cached permission checks
  • event-driven stat updates
  • economy checks only when needed

Important exception

The experimental glyph system is heavier.

If you enable glyph nameplates, performance depends heavily on:

  • player count
  • nameplate length
  • line count
  • entity budget
  • refresh settings

Use the recommended glyph settings section for tuning.


❓ What settings matter most for glyph performance?

The biggest ones are:

  • experimentalGlyphMaxEntitiesPerPlayer
  • experimentalGlyphMaxCharsPerLine
  • experimentalGlyphMaxLines
  • viewer refresh intervals
  • rotation sync interval

Lower entity budgets improve performance but can truncate text.


❓ What does /tagsadmin doctor do?

It checks your MysticNameTags setup for common problems.

It can report:

  • invalid tags.json entries
  • default tag issues
  • seasonal/event timing info
  • economy setup warnings
  • missing integration support
  • multiline nameplate concerns
  • active glyph font and preset info

❓ How long does it take to add support for another mod?

That depends on the quality of the API.

If the mod has a clean and documented API, integration can usually happen much faster.

If the API is undocumented, unstable, or not exposed properly, it may take significantly longer.


❓ Do you support X mod?

Check the integration list first.

If the mod you want is not currently supported, open a support ticket in:

#create-ticket

and request integration support.


❓ Where can I get support?
