Nicks

by Ranush

Nicks lets a player change their displayed nickname and skin on the client, so other players see the new name and look in their own game.

FabricClient-side onlyMIT License1.21.11

What it does

Nicks works entirely on the client, so a player can change their own displayed name and skin through an in-game menu command without any server-side support. The changes apply only to the player's own view, and several people on the same server can each use it at the same time. Opening the menu requires a nick, which the player sets first.

Key features

  1. Client-side name change

    Players set their own nickname and skin from the client, with no server installation needed for the change to show.

  2. Control over player display

    Each player can decide how other players appear on their own screen, including their names and skins.

  3. In-game disguise command

    A command opens a menu where the username and skin can be changed during play.
