Drogstyle

by sleepingdragoninn

Drogstyle lets players set their own display names on a server, using commands that Styled Nicknames would otherwise restrict to operators.

FabricForgeNeoForgeQuiltServer-side onlyGNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 onlyOpen source1.18.2 – 26.1

What it does

Drogstyle adds a small set of commands for setting, clearing and reading player nicknames, so each player can assign a display name without help from a server administrator. The commands are set, clear and value, and none of them is offered by the original Styled Nicknames commands with the same permission model. Usernames can be checked by hovering over a formatted name, which shows the underlying account name behind a nickname.

Drogstyle depends on Fabric API, so it needs that library on every Fabric installation. Styled Nicknames is an optional dependency: the mod wraps its nickname features and force-allows self-assignment permissions through a mixin. The original Styled Nicknames commands are removed to avoid clashes with the Drogstyle commands. Drogstyle is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, covering 19 release versions, 1.18.2 – 26.1. It runs on the server alone, so players join without installing it.

The mod is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, and its source code and issue tracker are public. Drogstyle's author states that it is a thin wrapper over Styled Nicknames and that issues about the original mods should be reported to their authors. The most recent Fabric build targets 26.1, and the Forge, NeoForge and Quilt builds were last updated for 1.20.2 and 1.21.7.

Key features

  1. Self-assigned nicknames

    Players can set their own display names, which the server shows in chat and in name tags.

  2. Permission override

    Self-assignment permissions for Styled Nicknames are force-allowed, so players do not need operator rights to change their names.

  3. Dedicated commands

    The set, clear and value commands cover assigning, removing and reading a nickname, and offer more than the original commands.

  4. Hover username check

    Hovering over a formatted name reveals the account username behind it, so staff can identify who is who.

  5. Original commands removed

    The Styled Nicknames commands are removed from the server to avoid clashes with the Drogstyle commands.

Questions

Does Drogstyle need Fabric API?

Yes. Fabric API is a required dependency, so it must be installed alongside Drogstyle on Fabric.

Does Drogstyle need to be installed on every player's client?

No. Drogstyle is server-side only, so only the server needs the mod.

Which Styled Nicknames version does Drogstyle work with?

Styled Nicknames is an optional dependency. Drogstyle wraps its features and removes the original commands on the server.
