Description
Nickname Manager
Hides vanilla player nametags and replaces them with a custom system. You see a player's name only when you look at them or right-click them.
How it works
The mod hides all player nametags by default. When you look at another player (or right-click them, depending on the mode), their name appears on your HUD — either under the crosshair or above the hotbar.
Admins can set custom styles per player: color, bold, italic, prefix, suffix, and other formatting. Styles support hex colors and MiniMessage-like tags.
Modes
The mod can run in two ways:
- Client-only — install only on the client. No server mod needed. You configure everything locally with
/nickclientcommands. - Server + Client — install on both. The server controls all settings and syncs them to players on join. Client settings are overridden. Server admins use
/nickmanagercommands.
If the server has the mod but a player doesn't — the player can still join, they just see vanilla nametags.
Features
- Hide all player nametags
- Show names on look-at or right-click
- Two display modes: under crosshair (ON_ENTITY) or above hotbar (ACTIONBAR)
- Configurable look-at distance (1–64 blocks)
- Per-player styles: color, bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, obfuscated, prefix, suffix
- MiniMessage-like formatting in prefixes/suffixes (e.g.
<gold>[Admin]</gold>) - Legacy
&color codes supported - Player exclusion list (hide specific players' names permanently)
- Invisible players' names are not shown
- Players wearing carved pumpkins get obfuscated names
- Simple Voice Chat compatibility — shows SVC voice icons next to names
- API for other mods (events, style access, config queries)
