NiceNamesGenerator -----

Generate nice-sounding random (and if necessary unique) names.




Accidentally built 1.0.3 with Java 17. For legacy Spigot versions, this one is built with Java 8 again. Need to set up an automated Jenkins build I guess...

This update adds a new, additional placeholder prefix "nnms_", which can be used instead of "nicenames_". So the following two examples work equally well:

%nicenames_uname%
%nnms_uname%

Secondly, the "lastname" feature now is slightly different; it is no longer a suffix to "uname-", but used instead of it. The following placeholders can now be used:
  • name - Generates a random name
  • uname - Generates a unique random name
  • uniquename - Generates a unique random name
  • lastname - Returns the last generated name
  • lname - Returns the last generated name
For the "lastname" and "lname" placeholders, the string "Low" can be added to force a lower-cased string, e.g.
  • lastnameLow - Returns the last generated name, lowercased

This update only adds a new extended suffix for re-using the last generated name lower-cased. The reason is a scenario where the generated name would be used to name a WorldGuard region (must be all lower-cased), but the same name should then be used for an RPG discovery region, spelled with a capital initial letter.

%nicenames_uname-lastnameLowercased%

returns the last generated name, but as an all-lowercased string.

Name-Reuse and Legacy Support

This release has one small, but in some use-cases important new feature. By using the name-suffix "-lastname", the placeholder will return the last generated name. So, a unique name could first be generated in a console command using

%nicenames_uname%

and then be re-used in follow-up commands using

%nicenames_uname-lastname%

This can use useful in scenarios where the same name needs to be used for multiple commands, like first creating a WorldGuard region, and then setting attributes of that region, while refering to it by its name.

Last but not least, this release has been rebuilt to run in old Spigot versions back to 1.8.
