🌐 CrossNetworkPrefixer

A powerful, high-performance Spigot plugin designed for multi-proxy networks and partnered Minecraft servers. CrossNetworkPrefixer allows you to dynamically alter player prefixes and TAB-list sorting weights based on who is looking at whom. Perfect for server networks that share chat or TAB lists across different proxy clusters (via Velocity or BungeeCord) but want to maintain clear, localized staff hierarchy and visibility.

✨ Features (Release v1.0)

👀 Viewer-Dependent Context

Display completely different prefixes and sorting weights depending on the viewing player's origin network.

📋 Smart Hierarchy Sorting

Dynamically adjust TAB weights to ensure local staff members are always sorted at the very top of their respective network's TAB list.

🔗 LuckPerms Meta Integration

Seamlessly integrates with the LuckPerms Meta-Data API to instantly determine a player's origin network and real group inheritance.

🧩 PlaceholderAPI & Relational Support

Fully implements standard and relational placeholders for complete compatibility with advanced TAB and Chat formatters.

🛡️ OP Status Bypass Protection

Evaluates group inheritance directly from LuckPerms API layers, preventing standard Minecraft Operator (/op) permissions from breaking group sorting order.

🔧 Placeholders

The plugin registers the crossnetworkprefixer identifier.

Placeholder	Description
%crossnetworkprefixer_prefix%	Returns the formatted prefix for the player themselves.
%crossnetworkprefixer_weight%	Returns the weight value for sorting.
%rel_crossnetworkprefixer_rel_prefix%	Recommended for TAB/Chat. Shows the target's prefix adjusted to the viewer's network profile.
%rel_crossnetworkprefixer_rel_weight%	Relational sorting weight based on the viewer's network profile.

# =========================================================================

# The LuckPerms meta-key used to identify which network/server the player is from.
# Example: If a player has the meta "from=network_one", the plugin loads that profile.
meta-key: "from"

# Default network profile used if a player doesn't have the meta key
# or if their network profile is not defined below.
# Set to "none" to completely disable prefixes for unknown networks.

🌍 Real-World Example

Let's assume Admin One controls Network One and Admin Two controls Network Two.

With a normal chat plugin, both players might simply appear as:

[ADMIN] Admin One
[ADMIN] Admin Two

This provides no distinction between local and partner staff.

When a player from Network One opens the TAB list

• Admin One appears as &4&lADMIN

• Weight: 1000

• Sorted at the very top

• Admin Two appears as &d&lPARTNER

• Weight: 500

• Sorted below local staff

When a player from Network Two opens the TAB list

• Admin Two appears as &2&lADMIN

• Weight: 1000

• Sorted at the very top

• Admin One appears as &5&lPARTNER

• Weight: 500

• Sorted below local staff

This ensures staff members maintain localized ranking authority and prominent visibility on their home instances while partner-network staff are clearly identified as guests.
