Item Rename
by FaeWulf
With Item Rename, players can change the display name, lore, enchantment glow and colors of items through commands on a server.
What it does
The mod lets players edit several properties of an item, including its name, lore, enchantment glow and color formatting. Players with permission level 1 can use the basic command, while players at permission level 3 and above can also bypass the lock check that normally stops item editing. Permission checks can be handled by LuckPerms or another permission manager mod.
Item Rename runs on the server only, so players join without installing it. Color formatting follows the EssentialsX scheme with a prefix, and hex color codes are supported with the same prefix. The mod requires Fabric API and is released under the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial Share Alike 4.0 license, so the code is not open source. Files exist for Fabric and Quilt, with builds covering 1.19.1 – 26.2 and the latest file, 1.3.2+26.2, dated 2026-08-21.
Key features
Item name and lore editing
Commands change the display name and lore text of an item, which players can use to build custom items.
Enchantment glow
An item can be given a glow effect, so it stands out from others without adding an enchantment.
Color formatting
Text in names and lore accepts color codes, including hex codes, for personalized items.
Permission-based bypass
Players above permission level 3 can skip the lock check, while level 1 players get only the basic editing command.
