HexNicks is a simple nickname plugin that allows players to set their nickname to anything they like containing normal colors, hex colors, and even gradients! It fully supports only Paper, though forks should work as well. There are only a few commands and permissions to limit what players use what commands. Though the plugin does have support for MySQL storage, it's mostly intended to be a simple nickname plugin for smaller Spigot/Paper servers.
