Lightweight Clans
Lightweight Clans is a straightforward clan-management plugin for Paper servers. It provides the basic tools players need to create and manage clans without adding a large faction, economy, or land-claiming system.
The plugin is entirely command-based, making it suitable for both Java and Bedrock players. Clan information is stored in a local SQLite database and is retained through server restarts.

Clan tags can be displayed in public chat without changing the formatting of player names or messages. The plugin uses safe component-based chat handling and remains compatible with plugins that provide custom display names or nicknames.
Each clan has one President. The clan creator becomes the first President and controls the clan’s name, description, tag, color, banner, membership, and leadership. Regular members can invite players, use clan chat, retrieve the clan banner, and leave the clan.
Players do not need to belong to a clan to view public clan information. Clans can be found by their display name or simplified command name.
