The Picker GUI
/nick picker (aliases /nick gui, /nick menu) opens an in-game menu so players can style their name without typing MiniMessage tags.
What’s inside
Section titled “What’s inside”- Named-color swatches — red, gold, yellow, green, aqua, blue, pink, white. Each wraps your current visible name in that color.
- Gradient presets — Fire, Ocean, Sunset, Mint, Candy, Sun, plus Rainbow.
- Custom — closes the menu and prompts you to type a full MiniMessage nick in chat (type
cancelto abort). - Reset — clears your nick.
Clicking a swatch applies it instantly and closes the menu.
Permission-aware
Section titled “Permission-aware”Each swatch is gated by the same permission as typing it: gradient presets need dnicks.gradient, color swatches need dnicks.color.<name>. Swatches a player can’t use are hidden, so the picker doubles as a view of what that player is allowed to do.
Opening the picker needs dnicks.picker (on by default).
Chat input, not anvils
Section titled “Chat input, not anvils”The Custom option captures your next chat line instead of using an anvil GUI, so it works on all modern Paper versions with no version-specific breakage.
