The ADMIN section in the sidebar is only visible to players with the nameplatebuilder.admin permission. It contains three sub-tabs: Required, Disabled, and Settings.

Required Sub-Tab

Force specific segments to always display for all players. The panel uses a two-column layout with a vertical divider:
ColumnDescription
Available (left)Segments not currently required. Green-tinted blocks with a > button to move to Required. Excludes disabled segments.
Required (right)Segments forced on all players. Yellow-tinted blocks with a < button to move back to Available.

How Required Segments Work

  • Required segments are always displayed in the nameplate output for all players
  • They are always included in every player’s chain
  • Players can still reorder required segments within their chain
  • Players cannot remove required segments from their chain
  • A segment cannot be both required and disabled — marking one removes the other
Each column has independent pagination (7 rows per page). Use Save to persist changes and Reset to revert.

Disabled Sub-Tab

Hide specific segments from all players entirely. Same two-column layout, using red-tinted blocks and headers:
ColumnDescription
Available (left)Segments not currently disabled. Green-tinted blocks with a > button to move to Disabled. Excludes required segments.
Disabled (right)Segments hidden from all players. Red-tinted blocks with a < button to move back.

How Disabled Segments Work

  • Disabled segments are excluded from all player chains
  • They are filtered out of available-block lists in the editor
  • They are skipped by the aggregator — never shown in nameplates
  • Players can see which segments are disabled via the Disabled tab under NAMEPLATES
  • When all segments are disabled, nameplates are blanked globally and the join message switches to the red “disabled” variant
Each column has independent pagination (7 rows per page). Use Save to persist changes and Reset to revert.

Settings Sub-Tab

Server Name

A text field for the display name shown in the join welcome message. The name appears inside brackets:
[YourServerName] - Use /npb to customize your nameplates.
Defaults to “NameplateBuilder” if left blank. Use Save to persist and Reset to revert.

Persistence

All admin configuration is stored in admin_config.txt in the mod’s data folder. The format uses pipe-delimited lines:
PrefixFormatDescription
SS|serverNameServer display name
RR|pluginId|segmentIdRequired segment
DD|pluginId|segmentIdDisabled segment
Lines starting with # are comments. Blank lines are ignored.
