Title Configuration
Titles are cosmetic labels that appear on a player's nametag, in chat, or both. They are earned by completing specific achievements and can be selected by the player through a UI.
How Titles Are Granted
Titles are defined inside achievement definitions. When a player completes an achievement that has a title field, that title is unlocked and becomes available for selection.
{
"id": "spider_hunter_4",
"category": "combat",
"difficulty": "hard",
"requires": "spider_hunter_3",
"title": {
"id": "exterminator",
"color": "#8B4513"
},
"trigger": {
"type": "kills",
"target": "Spider",
"count": 100
}
}
Title Fields
| Field | Required | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
id | yes | -- | Unique title identifier. Used as the localization key (title.<id>). |
color | no | "#FFFFFF" | Hex color code for the title in chat. |
Not every achievement needs a title. Titles are optional rewards for milestone achievements. Many achievements only grant items or lootbags.
Display Configuration
Title display is controlled through the main config.json in the achievement plugin's data folder.
{
"display": {
"displayMode": "both",
"titlePosition": "prefix",
"nametagFormat": "{title}\n{name}",
"chatFormat": "[{title}] {name}: {message}",
"titleColor": "#FFD700",
"showRpgLevel": false,
"rpgLevelFormat": "Lv.{level}",
"rpgLevelColor": "#55FFFF",
"rpgLevelPosition": "after_name"
}
}
Display Mode
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
"nametag" | Title appears above the player's head only. |
"chat" | Title appears as a chat prefix only. Colors work in this mode. |
"both" | Title appears in both nametag and chat. |
Title Position (Nametag)
| Value | Result |
|---|---|
"prefix" | [Title] Username |
"suffix" | Username [Title] |
"above" | Uses nametagFormat for multi-line layout (e.g. {title}\n{name}). |
"below" | Same as suffix (multi-line below is not supported by the engine). |
Hytale nameplates only support plain text. Color codes do not work in nametags. Colored titles are only visible in chat mode.
Nametag Format
The nametagFormat field supports {title} and {name} placeholders, along with \n for line breaks.
"{title}\n{name}" --> Exterminator
PlayerName
"[{title}] {name}" --> [Exterminator] PlayerName
RPG Level Integration
If the RPG Leveling plugin is installed, you can show player levels alongside titles.
| Field | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
showRpgLevel | false | Enable level display. |
rpgLevelFormat | "Lv.{level}" | Format string. {level} is replaced with the actual level. |
rpgLevelColor | "#55FFFF" | Hex color for the level text (chat only). |
rpgLevelPosition | "after_name" | Where to place the level: before_name, after_name, or after_title. |
LuckPerms Integration
When LuckPerms is installed, player prefixes from LuckPerms are combined with achievement titles in chat:
[LuckPerms-Prefix] [Achievement-Title] Username: message
LuckPerms formatting codes (<rainbow>, <gradient>, &a, etc.) are fully supported in chat. Suffix formatting from LuckPerms is applied to the username color.
Title Selection
/kstitles
Opens the Title Selection UI where players can browse all their unlocked titles and choose which one to display.
Alias: /title
Access: All players (no permission required).
The UI shows all titles the player has unlocked, along with the achievement that granted each title. Selecting a title applies it immediately to the player's nametag and/or chat display. Players can also deselect their current title to show just their username.
Title Localization
Title names are localized through the achievement plugin's localization system. Add entries to your language files:
| Key | Purpose |
|---|---|
title.<id> | Localized title display name |
Example:
{
"title.warrior": "Warrior",
"title.exterminator": "Exterminator",
"title.snake_charmer": "Snake Charmer",
"title.arachnophobe": "Arachnophobe"
}
Example Titles from Default Achievements
| Title ID | Color | Achievement | Requirement |
|---|---|---|---|
warrior | #FF4444 | First Blood | Kill 1 mob |
exterminator | #8B4513 | Spider Hunter IV | Kill 100 spiders |
