BiteRename

Rename items, write lore, and save the look for later, all in-game.

▸ Overview

Anvils give you one plain name and no lore. BiteRename gives your players gradients, hex colors, and multi-line lore with a single command. When they've styled the perfect item, they can copy that look onto another item or save it as a template to reuse whenever they like. Admins stay in control with feature toggles, blacklists, limits, and optional Vault or XP costs.

▸ Key Features

• Modern Formatting: MiniMessage gradients, HEX colors, and classic & codes, even mixed in the same line.
• Copy & Paste: Copy an item's name, lore, and hidden flags, then paste them onto another item.
• Persistent Templates: Save your favorite looks by name and apply them any time, even after a restart.
• API Integrations: Full Vault support for economy costs and PlaceholderAPI support for live variables in names and lore.
• Spigot, Paper & Purpur: One jar that runs on all three, tested on each.

▸ Formatting

Every name and lore line understands both MiniMessage and legacy codes. Names and lore show upright, without the vanilla italics.

Only visual tags are allowed, so players can't sneak click, hover, or selector tags onto items.

▸ Additional Features

• Every single message is completely configurable in the messages.yml.
• Smart TAB completion suggests subcommands, your saved templates, and the exact lore lines on the item you're holding.
• Word and item blacklists that can't be dodged with color codes, plus length and lore line limits.
• Turn any feature on or off: renaming, lore, clearing, hiding flags, copy/paste, and templates.
• Players are only charged once every check has passed, so nobody pays for a failed edit.
• Lightweight: nothing extra to install, and template saves are written in the background.

▸ Messages

Every message lives in messages.yml, grouped into errors, messages, and help, with full MiniMessage support. Set your own prefix and error prefix, and use these variables:

New messages added in updates are filled in automatically, so you never have to regenerate the file.

▸ Soft Dependencies

• Vault API: Needed if you want to charge money for edits (works with Vault or VaultUnlocked plus any economy plugin).
• PlaceholderAPI: Needed if you want variables (%player_name%, etc.) in names and lore.

▸ Compatibility

• Minecraft: 26.3
• Servers: Spigot, Paper, and Purpur
• Java: 25

On first start, the server downloads the Kotlin standard library once, so it needs internet access.

▸ Coming from LRename?

BiteRename is the successor to LRename. Drop it in and your players' saved templates are imported automatically on the first start.
