Server Nick

Change your in-server display name with a simple /nick command. Color and formatting codes supported.

Server Nick

A lightweight Forge mod that lets players change their in-server display name with a simple /nick command. No permission plugins or external tools required.

Your real account name is never changed, so /msg <realname> keeps working. Use /realname <nick> to find who is behind a nickname.

Features

  • /nick <name> - change your display name instantly
  • Chat names update for everyone, including vanilla (mod-free) clients
  • Name tag (above head) and tab list update for clients that have the mod
  • & color and formatting codes supported (e.g. &c, &l)
  • Nicknames are saved and survive server restarts
  • Operators can set or clear other players' nicknames
  • Configurable: max length, allow colors, chat override, self-nick permission

Commands

Command Description Permission
/nick <name> Set your own display name Everyone
/nick clear Reset your display name Everyone
/nick set <player> <name> Set another player's name OP
/nick clearfor <player> Reset another player's name OP
/realname <nick> Find the real name behind a nickname Everyone

Color codes: &0-&f colors, &l bold, &o italic, &n underline, &m strikethrough, &k obfuscated, &r reset. Example: /nick &c&lRed Bold Name

Note on scope

In Minecraft multiplayer, the name above a player's head and in the tab list is tied to account authentication, so it is controlled by the server. This mod updates chat for all clients, while the name tag and tab list update only on clients that also have the mod installed. For full effect, install the mod on the server and on each client.

Installation

  1. Install Forge for Minecraft 1.20.1.
  2. Put the jar into the mods folder of both the server and the clients.
  3. Join and run /nick TestName.

Requirements

  • Minecraft 1.20.1
  • Minecraft Forge 47.x

日本語: /nick コマンドでサーバー内の表示名を自由に変更できる軽量な Forge Mod です。チャット名は全員に、頭上の名前とタブリストは Mod 導入クライアントに反映されます。本名(アカウント名)は変更されないため /msg なども従来どおり使えます。
