PlayerStatus
PlayerStatus is a status and title system for Minecraft servers. Players can browse, purchase, and equip custom statuses through an in-game GUI. Equipped statuses show up in TAB, chat, nametags, and anywhere else through PlaceholderAPI.
The plugin is fully configurable. Every status, message, icon, price, and GUI element can be changed through YAML files without touching the code.
What it does
- Multi-page inventory GUI for browsing and equipping statuses
- Economy integration through Vault — players buy statuses with in-game currency

- TAB plugin integration for displaying statuses in the player list
- LuckPerms support for permission-based status restrictions
- MiniMessage formatting with gradients, colors, and decorations
- SQLite and MySQL database support with HikariCP connection pooling

Placeholders
Requires PlaceholderAPI.
| Placeholder | Description |
|---|---|
| %playerstatus_current% | Equipped status with color codes |
| %playerstatus_current_minimessage% | Equipped status in MiniMessage format |
| %playerstatus_raw% | Equipped status as plain text |
| %playerstatus_id% | ID of the equipped status |
| %playerstatus_count% | Number of statuses the player owns |
| %playerstatus_total% | Total number of statuses on the server |
| %playerstatus_has_<id>% | Whether the player owns a specific status |
TAB Integration
To display statuses in TAB, add the placeholder to your TAB config:
tabsuffix:
enabled: true
default-value: " %playerstatus_current%"
You can also use it as a prefix or in tablist-name-formatting depending on your setup.
Economy
Works out of the box with any Vault-compatible economy plugin. Each status has a configurable price in statuses.yml. Set the price to 0 to make a status free, or lock it behind a permission instead.
Configuration
The plugin creates three files in the plugin folder:
config.yml — General settings: database type, GUI layout, sound effects, integration toggles, cache settings.
statuses.yml — All status definitions. Each status has a unique ID and supports display name, description, material icon, price, permission, category, GUI slot/page, custom model data, and level requirements.
Example status:
statuses:
warrior:
display: '<red>Warrior'
description: 'Fierce fighter of battles'
icon: IRON_SWORD
price: 1000
permission: ''
category: combat
slot: 11
page: 1
custom-model-data: 0
requirements: []
Gradients are also supported:
inferno:
display: '<gradient:#FF4500:#FF8C00>Inferno</gradient>'
messages.yml — All plugin messages. Supports MiniMessage formatting.
