You can create a method for this, and call it when you need it in your events. For your specific example something like this would work.

Code:java

 @EventHandler
public void onRankJoin(PlayerJoinEvent e) {
setRank(e.getPlayer);
}
 
public void setRank(Player p){
if (p.hasPermission("default")) {
p.setDisplayName(ChatColor.WHITE+ p.getName());
} else if (p.hasPermission("moderator")) {
p.setDisplayName(ChatColor.DARK_PURPLE + p.getName());
}
}

 

Try something like:

Code:java

 
public static void updateDisplayName(Player player){
// Your display name code here
}
 

Then call...

Code:java

 
ClassName.updateDisplayName(player);
 

...whenever you'd like to update the name.

 

You could always make a enum, kinda like

Code:

public enum Ranks{ MODERATOR, DEFAULT }; this is only a example
