BetterNickname - A Hypixel Mod
by error-PNF
With BetterNickname installed on Forge for 1.8.9, players on the Hypixel server can reroll their nickname automatically until it matches a chosen phrase.
What it does
BetterNickname works on the Hypixel server for players who hold the MVP++ rank and use the nick system. Instead of working through the written-book menu that Hypixel provides, the mod rerolls a nickname on its own and claims it once the condition is met. A customizable reroll interval sets how often the mod tries again, and a HUD shows the current nick rank name.
The mod is a Forge build for the 1.8.9 game version only. Because it runs on the client, only the player who installs it needs it; the server does not. The code is covered by a custom license, and the source code is publicly available.
Key features
Automatic nickname rerolls
Nicknames are rerolled without manual clicks, replacing the menu flow the nick system otherwise requires.
Phrase-based matching
The reroll repeats until a nickname contains a chosen phrase, then claims that name.
Adjustable reroll interval
The time between rerolls can be set, so the rate of attempts suits the player.
Random nick rank option
A random nick rank can be selected, and a HUD displays the rank name currently in use.

Use cases

Who it’s for: Players on the Hypixel server who use MVP++ nicks and want to avoid repeatedly opening the nick menu by hand. The mod is aimed at the Hypixel nick system specifically.
