-
/chromatag reset [player]: Reset your own or another player's name color to default.
Permissions -
chromatag.use: Allows use of the ChromaTag command (default: op)
-
chromatag.set: Allows setting name colors (default: op)

Essentials Integration ChromaTag automatically detects and integrates with the Essentials plugin if it's present on your server. This integration ensures that player nicknames set through Essentials maintain the color assigned by ChromaTag.
Note - you may want to modify your Essentials configuration by doing the following to get rid of the annoying tilde (~) before player's names:
1. Open your Essentials
config.yml file.
2. Find the
nickname-prefix setting.
3. Change it to an empty string like this:
nickname-prefix: ''
