Auto-Update Scoreboard Names
by Binero
Auto-Update Scoreboard Names keeps scoreboard entries in step when a player changes their Minecraft username.
What it does
When a player who has scores logs in under a new username, the mod moves those scores to the new name. Vanilla Minecraft does not do this, so without the mod a changed username starts from zero on the scoreboard. The mod runs on the server alone, so players join without installing anything. Fabric is the only loader listed, with files for 1.21.11 – 26.3 and the latest file, 1.2.0, built for 26.3 on 2026-09-15. The code is not open source and is covered by All rights reserved, though its source code and issue tracker are public.
Key features
Automatic score transfer
Scores are carried over to the new username on the player's first login after the name change.
Overridden names left alone
If the new name already has scores, the existing entries are not overwritten by the transfer.
Configurable name prefix
A config option lets server owners restrict updates to scoreboard names starting with a chosen prefix.

What the author says
In Vanilla Minecraft, when players change their username, their scoreboard entries do not update. This modification fixes that. When players first login after a name change, this modification will port all their scores to the new name. If the new name already had scores, they will be overridden.
