Frequently Asked Questions
# 1. Can items in the title shop be translated?
For versions 1.13+:
- Automatic translation based on configured language
- Supports all languages (e.g. zh_CN, zh_TW locale codes)
Configuration:
- Modify
language: locale_code
in config.yml - Create language files in /languages folder named as: locale_code.yml
For older versions:
- Configure in item.json using JSON format
- Only configured items will be translated
- Must maintain exact English spelling
- Recommended to translate only used items, then reload config
Example: { "NAME_TAG": "命名牌", "PAPER": "纸" }

# 2. Garbled text or malfunction in 1.7/1.8 versions
Plugin defaults to UTF-8 encoding. Please convert files to ANSI encoding manually.
# 3. Tab titles or overhead titles not working
The tab/overhead title feature conflicts with scoreboard plugins.
Solution:
- Disable
istab
in config.yml - Use compatible placeholder plugins (e.g. TAB) for display instead
# 3.1 How to Configure Title Variables in TAB Plugin
# This is the group.yml configuration file for the tab plugin
_DEFAULT_:
# tab prefix
tabprefix: "%playerTitle_use%"
# player name tag prefix
tagprefix: "%playerTitle_use%"
# tab display name
customtabname: "%player%"
# player name tag display name
customtagname: "%player%"
# tab suffix
tabsuffix: ""
# player name tag suffix
tagsuffix: ""
# 4. Modified prefixes/suffixes in config but not taking effect
Prefixes/suffixes are bound when the title is first generated, so changes won't affect existing titles. Only newly generated titles will reflect the changes. We recommend finalizing your desired prefixes/suffixes before first use.
# 5. I purchased a title, why did the title shop disappear? Is it one-time use? How can others buy it?
Title shop display optimization: Purchased titles are hidden only for the buyer, other players can still view and purchase them normally.
# 6. How to delete a player's title
Command: /plt view open [playername]
# 7. Deleted the title plugin but titles still show in TAB/nametags (Fixed in v2.7.7+)
Install a scoreboard plugin (like TabListPro) to create conflict, then remove it after the conflict resolves the issue.
# 8. Can one title have multiple purchase conditions?
Yes, can be implemented through menus or by using shop exchange for title cards.
# 9. How to delete or modify title prices
Use command: /plt view shop
# 10. Can I modify the lore in title shop/inventory?
Absolutely, modify the corresponding lore in the language file.
# 11. Particle effects not displaying
- Check if required plugins (SuperTrails/SuperTrailsPro/PlayerParticles) loaded properly
- Verify client has particles enabled
- Plugin doesn't support hot reloading - restart server
- Check if title description shows the particles after adding
- Re-equip title after adding particles
- Particles tested on Spigot/Paper, other platforms need self-testing
- Verify commands match documentation
- For wing particles, don't use identical colors for all three
- Check console for errors and report if found
- Ensure using latest versions of both plugins
# 12. isTab enabled but displays incorrectly (e.g., missing brackets)
For servers below 1.13: Titles exceeding 16 characters get truncated For 1.13+: Titles exceeding 64 characters get truncated Color codes count toward length limit (MC limitation)
# 13. For item purchase type, does it support mod items?
Most mod items are compatible, but some special mods might not work. Test yourself and report any issues.
# 14. Texture localization issues on pre-1.13 servers
E.g., clownfish showing as pufferfish (unfixable, same texture ID "FISH") Avoid using such items or guide players to right-click check requirements
# 15. Deleted title still shows for players
For performance optimization, title names are cached. They'll disappear after player relogs.
