Name Changer Ported

The mod is a 26.2 port of mineTomek's Name Changer, so the name change follows the player across the game rather than appearing in only one place. A custom name replaces the player's name in chat labels, nameplates above players, the player list under Tab, the social interactions screen, the scoreboard sidebar and LAN world MOTDs, and entity selection commands treat it as that player. Names that players set are saved for each world, so they survive a restart of the game.

Setting and resetting names is handled by the name command, which needs operator permissions and has two subcommands, one to set a name and one to reset it, and a third can inspect a player's current name. The custom name is entered as a text component, so formatting applies only to chat messages and the player list, while most other places strip it. Plain text with spaces and other special characters works. The mod has two config options in namechanger-common.toml, found in the config directory, and Cloth Config can edit them.

Name Changer Ported runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it installed, and it needs Balm, along with Fabric API on Fabric. It is published for 26.2 only, on Fabric and NeoForge, under the MIT License, and the source code is public.
