RpEssentials

[4.1.9]

Self-assigned nickname system via /rp selfnick with configurable restrictions and cooldown management. License card visual overhaul with physical in-hand rendering and a dedicated inspection screen.

Added

• Command /rp selfnick [nickname]: New command allowing players to manage their own display name.

  • Executing without arguments resets the nickname to the original player name.
  • Integration with NicknameManager for persistent storage and display across the server.
  • Command logging: Every nickname change is logged to the console via RpEssentials.LOGGER with the format [SELFNICK] {player} set nickname to '{nick}'.

• Configuration Section [Self Nick]: Added a dedicated category in RpConfig.java for fine-grained control:

  • enableSelfNick: Boolean to toggle the feature globally.
  • selfNickCooldownSeconds: Integer to define the delay between two nickname changes (default: 300s).
  • selfNickAllowColors: Boolean to allow or forbid the use of & or § formatting codes.
  • selfNickMaxLength: Integer to limit the length of the chosen nickname (default: 24).

• New Message Keys: Added 5 configurable entries in MessagesConfig.java:

  • selfNickSet: Success message (placeholder: {nick}).
  • selfNickReset: Confirmation message when clearing the nickname.
  • selfNickDisabled: Error message when the feature is toggled off.
  • selfNickColorsDisabled: Error message when a player tries to use color codes illegally.
  • selfNickTooLong: Error message for exceeding the character limit (placeholder: {max}).

• License Card — Physical in-hand rendering: The license item now renders as a physical card held in first-person, replacing the default 3D item model.

  • LicenseCardRenderer: new class that renders the card background texture (textures/item/license_card.png) and overlays all text fields in world space: profession, holder name, issue date, optional expiry date, and a valid/revoked status line at the bottom.
  • MixinItemInHandRenderer: injects into renderHandsWithItems to fully replace the vanilla first-person render when a LicenseItem is held. Preserves vanilla head-bob and pitch tilt, renders both player arms using the existing PlayerRenderer, then delegates card drawing to LicenseCardRenderer.
  • LicenseItem.initializeClient: registers a IClientItemExtensions that hooks applyForgeHandTransform, delegating to LicenseCardRenderer.applyCardTransform for a map-like hand positioning (slight tilt, centered in front of the player).

• License Card — Inspection screen: Right-clicking a license item in the main hand opens a dedicated full-screen GUI.

  • LicenseScreen: draws the same license_card.png texture as a large background (280x200 px), then overlays all metadata fields with the same layout as the in-hand renderer. Shows the revoked/valid banner at the bottom. A single Close button dismisses the screen.
  • LicenseClientHandler: listens to PlayerInteractEvent.RightClickItem client-side and opens LicenseScreen when a LicenseItem is detected in the main hand.

Fixed

• Server crash on player logout: RpEssentialsMessagingManager.clearCache(player.getUUID()) was called in onPlayerLogout but the method did not exist under that signature. Renamed/aligned the call to match the actual method, preventing a NoSuchMethodError on every player disconnect.

Technical

• RpCooldownManager integration: Added selfnick case to the getCooldownMs() switch block, mapped to the new RpConfig.SELF_NICK_COOLDOWN_SECONDS value. Command execution is blocked if isOnCooldown returns true, displaying the standard remaining-time message.

• Nickname validation logic:

  • Color stripping: Length validation uses finalNick.replaceAll("§[0-9a-fk-orA-FK-OR]", "") to prevent bypassing selfNickMaxLength with hidden formatting characters.
  • Color conversion: & codes are converted to § only when selfNickAllowColors is enabled.
  • Empty check: Setting a nickname that consists solely of color codes or whitespace is rejected.

• Robustness: Config getters are wrapped in try-catch (IllegalStateException) to prevent crashes during early startup or config reload phases. The /rp selfnick command requires src.getEntity() instanceof ServerPlayer to block console execution.

• New classes:

  • LicenseCardRenderer — world-space card rendering, reused by both the in-hand mixin and the GUI screen.
  • LicenseClientHandler — client-side event subscriber that opens LicenseScreen on right-click.
  • LicenseScreen — full-screen license inspection GUI.
  • MixinItemInHandRenderer — first-person render override for LicenseItem.

• Modified classes:

  • LicenseItem — added initializeClient override to register IClientItemExtensions for the hand transform hook.
  • RpConfig — new [Self Nick] section with four config values.
  • MessagesConfig — five new [Self Nick] message keys.
  • RpCooldownManager — selfnick case added to getCooldownMs().
  • RpEssentialsRpCommands — /rp selfnick subcommand registered.

• New mixin: MixinItemInHandRenderer registered in rpessentials.mixin.json under client.
