What it does

The mod is a Fabric client mod that customises the display name shown to the local player. Only the client needs it, so players join servers without installing anything on the server side. It works with custom Hypixel ranks, and its colour settings cover chroma style, speed, size, brightness and saturation. Required dependencies are Mod Menu and YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL). Files are published for 1.21 – 26.2 across five release versions, and the code is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, so it is open source.

Key features

  1. Custom display name

    Change the name shown for the local player on the client, without altering anything on the server.

  2. Name hider

    A nick hider option hides the real name on screen, which helps when streaming or taking screenshots.

  3. Chroma colour options

    Colour settings include chroma style, speed, size, brightness and saturation for the customised name.
