Nicknames Everywhere
by joel4848
Nicknames Everywhere lets players set a nickname and pronouns that appear on nametags, in chat, on scoreboards, in commands and in the player list.
What it does
Nicknames and pronouns can be formatted with colour codes and styling, and the mod supports colourful formatting for both. Each player can hold a separate nickname and pronoun set, and server owners can enable or disable formatting, cap the maximum length of each, and decide whether players may set their own names.
Setting another player's nickname or pronouns needs permission level 2. The commands use the alias nne. Simple Voice Chat's interface shows nicknames and pronouns correctly, and the mod includes placeholder support for FancyMenu, so custom menus and text elements can display a player's nickname and pronouns directly.
The mod is published for Fabric only, for 1.21.1, with the latest file 1.21.1-2.1.0 dated 2026-07-13. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. It is released under the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial Share Alike 4.0 licence and is not open source, though its source code and issue tracker are public.
