Saro´s Fakename Port

Fakename adds Commands to change the display name

header

Fakename adds a simple way to change your display name in-game.

⚠️ Note: This mod is a port of the original Fakename mod. I am not the original author. Current work is focused on making it compatible with Minecraft 1.20.1+. Port requests for newer versions are welcome. Original: https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/fakename

The fake name is visible in:

  • Chat
  • Death messages
  • Above the player's head

Names are world/server specific, meaning they do not change your name permanently.
The server must also have the mod installed for it to work.


Features

  • Fake Names 🎭

    • Set temporary names for yourself or others in a world or server.
  • Color Codes & Spaces 🌈

    • Supports color codes using & (e.g., &6Notch → gold).
    • White spaces allowed via / - (1.12) or quotes " " (1.15+).
    • Combine colors and spaces freely.
  • Simple Commands

    • /fakename set [player] <fakename> → Sets a fake name
    • /fakename clear [player] → Clears a fake name
    • /realname <fakename> → Gets the real name of a player
  • Aliases

    • /fn, /fname for setting/clearing
    • /rn, /rname for querying (1.12 only)
  • Server Permissions

    • Requires OP / cheats enabled to execute commands (unless clearing your own name on 1.15+).
    • Command permissions can be customized in the server config (1.15+).

Examples

Set a Fake Name:

  • 1.12:
/fakename set My/-Name/-Is/-Tschipp

`

Displays as: My Name Is Tschipp

  • 1.15+:
/fakename set "My Name Is Tschipp"

Displays as: My Name Is Tschipp

  • With color codes:
/fakename set "&6GoldenName"

Displays as: GoldenName in gold

Clear a Fake Name:

/fakename clear [player]

Get Real Name:

/realname <fakename>   (1.12)
/fakename real <fakename>   (1.15+)
