Lower is faster | | `settings.neon-colors` | rainbow | Choose and reorder the colors the NEON effect cycles through (standard colors only) | | `settings.cooldown-seconds` | `0` | Cooldown between glow changes per player (`0` disables it). Admins bypass | | `settings.use-teams` | `true` | Let the plugin manage scoreboard teams. Set to `false` to let TAB color the glow instead | ## Installation 1. Place the `.jar` in your `plugins` folder 2. Restart your server 3. Using TAB? See **TAB Integration** below ## TAB Integration Glow color is controlled by scoreboard teams, and only one plugin can manage them at a time. When TAB is installed it takes over team management — and therefore the glow color. To make the two work together: 1. In GlowPlayersPro's `config.yml`, set `settings.use-teams: false` so the plugin stops managing teams and lets TAB drive the color 2. Install PlaceholderAPI 3. In TAB's `groups.yml`, place `%glowplayerspro_color%` **at the very end** of the player's `tagprefix` — it must be the **last color code** in the prefix: ```yaml _DEFAULT_: tagprefix: "%luckperms-prefix%%glowplayerspro_color%" customtabname: "%glowplayerspro_color%%player%" # optional: colors the tablist name ``` - **`tagprefix`** (nametag above the head) is **required** — its last color becomes the glow color - **`tabprefix`** (tablist) has **no effect** on the glow; don't put the placeholder there - **`customtabname`** is optional and only colors the name shown in the tablist > **Per-group overrides:** if a group defines its own `tagprefix` (e.g. `Owner`, `Player`), it overrides `_DEFAULT_`. You must append `%glowplayerspro_color%` at the end of each of those groups' `tagprefix` too, or the glow will be locked to whatever color that prefix ends with. > > Because the glow uses the nametag team color, turning on a glow also tints the player's name above their head with the same color. This is how Minecraft scoreboard teams work, not a bug. ### Applying changes with TAB (`/glow reload`) `/glow reload` fully reloads GlowPlayersPro, and the `%glowplayerspro_color%` placeholder returns the new value immediately. However, **TAB caches PlaceholderAPI values** and only re-reads them on its own refresh interval, so a color change may not
