Simple Nicknames
A straightforward nickname system for your Minecraft server that allows players to customize their display names across the game.
Beta Notice
This mod is currently in beta. While it's functional, you may encounter bugs or unexpected behavior. Please report any issues you find so I can continue improving the mod!
Installation
Both client and server installations are required.
Make sure to install the mod on both sides for it to work properly.
!!! The Fabric version also requires Fabric API on both sides !!!
Usage

/nick <nickname>To remove your nickname and return to your original name:
/unnickAdmins are able to set nicknames for other users or assign random nicks:
/setnick Donutello396 Leo
/randomnick @aThey can also unnick other users as well as list all nicked users:

Display Name Changes
Simple Nicknames changes your display name in the following locations:
- Nametag - The name displayed above your character
- Chat - Your name in chat messages
- Tab List - The player list accessible via Tab key
- Scoreboard - Your name on any scoreboards
You can configure how and where your name appears in the config file.
Colored Names
Simple Nicknames supports MiniMessage formatting. If enabled, players will be able to color/format their nickname (disabled by default).
Even without MiniMessage, your nickname will still respect existing formatting, such as team colors set for members.

Simple Nicknames can be used with the Flashback mod on supported Fabric versions.
If you notice your nickname not appearing somewhere it should, please report it so I can add support!
Known incompatibilities
