Description

PlayerName Styler

Add configurable nicknames and styled player names across chat, tab list, and above-head nameplates.

Features

  • Per-player nicknames (/nickname)
  • Configurable formatting for chat, tab list, and nameplates (TOML)
  • Placeholder system (built-ins + API for other mods to register their own placeholders)
  • Styling support
    • Minecraft & color/format codes (&a, &6, &l, &r, etc.)
    • Hex colors (&#RRGGBB and <#RRGGBB>)
    • Tags like <bold>, <red>, <reset>
    • <gradient:#RRGGBB:#RRGGBB>text</gradient> and <rainbow>text</rainbow>
    • LuckPerms prefix/suffix integration (optional via %prefix% / %suffix%; empty when LuckPerms is not installed)
    • Simple JSON nickname storage in your config folder (config/nicknames.json)
    • Real username lookup with /realname
    • Nameplate renderer is configurable (text_display default, with armor_stand fallback)
    • Scoreboard below_name support — shows the below_name display slot (e.g. health) as a second line under custom nameplates, which Minecraft otherwise hides once the name tag is replaced

Commands

  • /nickname — show your current nickname
  • /nickname <nickname> — set your nickname
  • /nickname clear — clear your nickname
  • /nickname set <player> <nickname> — admin set (OP level 2)
  • /nickname clear <player> — admin clear (OP level 2)
  • /nickname reload — reload nicknames file (OP level 2)
  • /nickname cleartags — remove stuck/orphaned nameplate entities and refresh online players (OP level 2)
  • /realname — list all nicknames
  • /realname <search> — search nickname/real name

Configuration

Config file: config/playernamestyler-common.toml

    • nameplateRenderer can be text_display or armor_stand
