Tags & Nicks Troubleshooting
Common Mistakes
- Tab/nametag has 16 char limit — Minecraft protocol limitation. Color codes count toward the limit.
&c&lVIP= 6 chars used for formatting alone - Tag rules validated via
rules/tag.rs— "Tag is not allowed" errors come from rule matching. Check tag rules for blocking patterns - Tag lost on rejoin = database issue — tags persist via database. Check
database.ymlconnection and look for database errors in console on join - Color codes count toward the 16 char limit in tab/nametag — users set colored tags that look fine in chat but get truncated in tab. This is NOT a bug, it's a Minecraft protocol limit
