Namer
by chyzman
Namer lets each player set a custom nickname for their own account, which then shows in chat, the player list and nametags.
What it does
A player sets a nickname with a command and can remove it again the same way, so the name shown in chat, the player list and nametags changes without touching the account name. Commands that take a player name still use the original account name. Namer runs on Fabric and Quilt, requires Fabric API and oωo (owo-lib) on both, and includes Cardinal Components API and Text Placeholder API inside the jar. Files cover 1.21.1 – 1.21.9 and are released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, so the code is open source.
Key features
Self-set nicknames
Each player can give their own account a nickname without needing an operator to assign it.
Nickname removal
A player can clear the nickname with a second command, which restores the account name in every display.
Display in chat and tab
The nickname replaces the account name in chat messages, the player list and nametags for everyone on the server.
