NickPaints

Dynamic, Cloud-Synced Gradient Nicknames for Minecraft

NickPaints is an advanced, client-side Fabric mod that brings your Minecraft identity to life with fully customizable, animated gradient nicknames.

Features
  • Animated Gradient Nicknames: Create beautiful, flowing gradients with multiple colors that animate smoothly over your nametag.
  • Cloud Syncing: Design your unique paint and sync it to the cloud. Other players with the mod will see your custom nametag exactly as you designed it.
  • Extensive Customization: Use a simple yet powerful syntax to control every aspect of your gradient, including animation speed, gradient length, style (smooth or blocky), animation direction, and more.
  • Live In-Game GUI: Press a key (default G) to open an interface with a real-time preview of your design. Features tab-completion for easy argument input.
  • Client-Side Control: Locally disable paints for all players or specific individuals with simple in-game commands. Your preferences are saved and persist across sessions.
Installation

This is a client-side Fabric mod.

  1. Install the Fabric Loader.
  2. Install the Fabric API. It is a required dependency.
  3. Download the latest version of NickPaints from the Modrinth Page
  4. Place the downloaded .jar file into your mods folder.
  5. Launch the game.
Configuration

In-Game GUI

The easiest way to configure your paint is through the in-game GUI.

  • Press G (configurable in controls) to open the settings screen.
  • Enter your gradient string in the text field. You will see a live preview of your design at the top.
  • Use Tab to autocomplete arguments like speed(), segment(), etc.
  • Click "Save & Sync to Cloud" to save your design and make it visible to other players. This requires a valid Mojang session.

Gradient Syntax

The core of the mod is its powerful gradient string syntax. It consists of a list of colors followed by optional arguments.

Colors

Colors are defined using standard HEX codes, separated by commas. #ff0000, #0000ff - A simple gradient from red to blue.

Arguments

Arguments are added after the colors, in any order.

Argument Description Example
speed(ms) Controls the animation speed in milliseconds. A full cycle takes this amount of time. speed(2000)
segment(chars) Stretches the full gradient over a specified number of characters. Allows long gradients to "scroll" across short names. segment(15)
style(block) Changes the gradient from a smooth blend to sharp, distinct color blocks. style(block)
direction(rtl) Reverses the gradient and animation direction from Right-to-Left instead of the default Left-to-Right. direction(rtl)
static(true) Completely disables all animation, creating a static gradient. static(true)
rainbow(ms) A special preset that creates an animated rainbow effect. Overrides any HEX colors. rainbow(3000)

Full Example: #e0c3fc, #8ec5fc, #8ec5fc, #e0c3fc speed(1000) segment(8) direction(rtl)

Commands

NickPaints provides a set of client-side commands for managing local settings.

Command Description
/nickpaints clear-cache Clears the local cache of other players' paints, forcing the mod to re-fetch them.
/nickpaints toggle global [true/false] Enables or disables the rendering of ALL custom paints. Toggles if no state is provided.
/nickpaints toggle player <username> [true/false] Disables or enables rendering for a specific player. Supports tab-completion for online and already-disabled players.
/nickpaints toggle list Displays the current global rendering status and lists all players for whom paints are locally disabled.
