Name Layer

What is Name Layer?

Name Layer is a bukkit mod that prevents players from changing their name on your mc server. This also servers as an api to grab a player's name and uuid from your server. Also NameLayer changes a palyer's name within the minecraft GameProfile meaning that other plugins that still rely on player names wont break when a player changes their name.

How does it work?

Well first thing first you need to set up the mod to work with mysql by running it once on your server, then stopping it, change the config options, then restarting your server.

Then what will happen is when a player logs that name becomes their permanent name forever on that server. Even if they change through Mojang they will still join the server as the name they first logged on with, when they first joined your server.

"But what happens if a player changes their name to a preexisting name but has never joined my server until after they changed it?" - Don't worry about that. NameLayer will check and see if a preexisting name is taken with a new uuid and then give the new player the name they logged in with but with a numerical incriminate.

NameLayer Api

Not too difficult of an api:

To get a player name use NameAPI.getCurrentName(UUID playeruuid);

To get a player's uuid use NameAPI.getUUID(String name);
