FakeName Fabric
by tntnetta
FakeName Fabric lets server administrators assign and clear fake display names for players, as a Fabric reinterpretation of Tschipp's FakeName.
What it does
Administrators use simple commands to give a player a fake name, and the change carries through to the player's name tag, chat messages and tab list. Clearing or hiding a fake name returns the player to their real name, which keeps server dynamics manageable when identities need to be protected or a role-playing setting calls for alternate names.
The mod is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only. It was first published on 2025-01-26 and last updated on 2025-02-02, and its Fabric files target 1.20.1 only, with 1.2.0 as the latest build from 2025-02-02. It requires Fabric Loader 0.16.7 or a compatible version, and the environment is client and server, so the server and every player need it installed.
Key features
Fake names through commands
Administrators assign a fake name to a player with a short command, without editing files or restarting the server.
Names shown in several places
A fake name replaces the displayed name in the player's name tag, in chat messages and in the tab list.
Clearing and hiding names
Commands remove a fake name or hide it, returning the player to their real name when needed.
Multiple languages
The mod supports several languages, so messages and command output can be read by a varied player base.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
Use cases
Protecting identities
Server owners can hide the real names of players who prefer not to be identified in chat or on the tab list.
Role-playing servers
Groups that run role-playing scenarios can give characters names that fit the setting and keep them in place for the session.
Who it’s for: Server administrators who want to manage how players appear by name, and role-playing communities that rely on alternate identities. Players join without installing anything extra beyond the client-side requirements of the server itself.
