ModernTags

What's New

• Relational placeholders. Nametags can now show different information depending on who is looking at the player. Use {rel:...} with a relational PlaceholderAPI expansion. For example, an expansion that provides ally/enemy relationships can display a different status to each viewer.
• Tags respond to condition changes. When a player's permissions or other tag conditions change, ModernTags can automatically switch to the correct tag. Players no longer need to teleport or rejoin just to see the change.
• Tags can be hidden when nothing matches. A fallback tag is no longer required: if no configured conditions match, no custom tag is displayed.
• Dynamic text colors and styles. The updated GikyMessage library now lets you change a tag’s text color or style using placeholder values, for example: [text](color:{placeholder}) or [text](style:{placeholder}). Formatting can change automatically as the placeholder value updates.

New Configuration Option

conditions-recheck-rate: 20 controls how often tag conditions are checked (in plugin ticks). The default is 20; set it to -1 to disable periodic checks. Conditions will still be evaluated when a tag is initially rendered or refreshed by an event.

Bug Fixes

• Static tags update properly. Placeholders now refresh even when a tag has only one animation frame.
• All affected players receive updates. Fixed cases where only some players using the same tag configuration were updated.
• More consistent visibility. Fixed tags appearing incorrectly when a player is invisible, crouching, or no longer supposed to have a visible tag.
• Correct text opacity. Opacity is now applied properly when animation frames change.
• More flexible conditions. Spaces before && and || no longer cause condition parsing errors.
• More reliable rendering. Improved handling of concurrent tag updates and errors during processing.
