(repost because I just realized that this IS the official Vault github page)

Alright so,

When I install Vault on my server, the rank prefix in the tablist gets overwritten and there is no way to fix this besides uninstalling Vault.
Is there anything I can do? As there isnt any comparable Vault alternative.

My server is running on Paper 1.12.2 version 1620

Screenshot:

What plugins are you running on your server?

All of these.
Also APrefixSystem should normally be activated, but I got no idea why it was disabled.

Actually I took a closer look, apparently APrefixSystem is loaded, but it doesnt work for some reason.

One of these plugins (maybe TabList?) is making changes to your tab list. You either need to change the configuration file of the plugin changing the tab list or change the prefixes/suffixes themselves.

Actually I took a closer look, apparently APrefixSystem is loaded, but it doesnt work for some reason.

Check the server log. It should have an error message that could indicate the problem.

If you can't fix it, LuckPerms has a list of plugins that they suggest for things like this. You can find it here: https://luckperms.net/wiki/Prefixes,-Suffixes-&-Meta#bukkitspigot

Okay so apparently there is an error. But as I don't dev, I have no clue on what to do
Also, it isnt the Chatprefix, its the prefix shown in the Tablist

The third line in the screenshot says:
Prefix '§5YouTuber §8| §5' is longer than the limit of 16 characters

That prefix is 17 characters long. You can either shorten it or, if you can't shorten it, use another tab list/name tag plugin.

Ah I see. Lemme change that and see if that solves the problem

Okay, so it appears that it was more than just that rank. Which I have corrected now, however it still shows what I don't want

This time, there is no error I could find which is relating to the prefix system. So I have no idea why it still shows that

Can you send the configuration file for your tab list plugin?

I reinstalled the Tablist Plugin yesterday and haven't customized it yet so it still has the default config

This is the tablist plugin I am using by the way, so it has multiple .yml files: https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/animated-tab-tablist.46229/

Also I just realized that it might be because of the Tablist Plugin, tho I am unsure

Make sure that you only have one plugin changing your tab list and configure it correctly. Also make sure that you have the correct prefixes and suffixes set and given to the correct users. You should be using color codes that work with your tab list plugin.

Yes, also found out that it was caused by the tablist plugin. So now I am searching for a alternative.

Check the LuckPerms wiki link that I sent. Those are all great plugins.

I found a good enough Tablist plugin which doesnt mess up the prefix so I'll close this now
