# Nicknames

Give yourself a nickname with `/nick`! Your real account name, UUID, permissions, whitelist and bans stay the same. Only the name other players see changes.

## Features
- Nickname shows in **chat**, the **tab list**, and **join and death messages**
- **Colors and formatting** with `&`, e.g. `/nick &cRed&lBold`
- **No impersonation:** other players' real names and nicknames already in use are blocked
- Hover over a name in chat to see the **real name**
- Nicknames are saved per world and survive restarts
- **Server-side:** players without the mod (even vanilla) can join
- **Optional on the client:** shows the nickname above players' heads too

## Commands
