How to remove <> around username

im trying to mess around with prefixes and I have found that the <> around my username are ugly. I tried looking up how to fix this and saw that by changing the config it should be fixed.

But when i did that and restarted the server it outputted the same. My plugins are attached if you need them

Im also running a bukkit 1.12.2 server if you need that as well.
BTW sorry for the random IMG things im not used to these forums

 

What you want to do is go to where your prefixes are locates, normally in essentials or a separate prefix plugin and search for the prefixes you want not to have. Next it will show the text <[Yourprefix>
Just remove the < and the > from it and save and restart your server. Add a : to the end if you like. I hope this helps

If I remember correctly, this can be modified in essentials config.

 

You need Essentials for this, along with EssentialsChat.
Once you have those two plugins, go to the config file of Essentials, then scroll down until you find the section that says "EssentialsChat" and you should find some text that indicates the chat format like this "format: '{DISPLAYNAME}&l >> &7{MESSAGE}'" that's the way mine looks because I modified it. {DISPLAYNAME} and {MESSAGE} are the two placeholders that you can use, and {DISPLAYNAME} also includes the player's prefix. You can also you Bukkit Color code to edit chat color, like how I have &7 before {MESSAGE} so unless the player has a better rank than Default, their chat will be light gray. I hope this helped.

 

Mhmm, You can change the chat formatting in the essentials config, in the 'Essentials Chat' section.

This is the default

Code:

format: '<{DISPLAYNAME}> {MESSAGE}'

This'll only work if the server has EssentialsChat, which you do.

 

I tried that and it didnt work thats why i am asking

 

Yeah, you have to edit it in the config but for a more easy chat plugin use Chatex but get rid of essentials chat if you use it.

 

If my steps didn't work, you may have to edit it while your server is running then use /ess rl
Then you may have to restart the server, or maybe not.
