Player Disguise

by weaversworkshop

Player Disguise lets a player take a custom alias with its own name and skin, and the alias stays visible to everyone on a server in real time.

NeoForgeClient or server, optionalMozilla Public License 2.0Open source1.21.1

What it does

Players build profiles in a profile book on the client. Each profile holds a custom name and a skin uploaded as a PNG, and the profile can use the wide or slim arm model. Skins are checked against the vanilla specifications, 64×64 or 64×32 pixels and no more than 64 KB, before they are sent. Once a player joins a server, everyone on that server sees the alias and its skin in chat, the tab list, nameplates and the F5 self-view, as well as voice icons and map markers where those are present.

Aliases are reserved to the player who claims them and stay reserved across logouts, so other players cannot take the name in use. Switching to a previous alias starts a per-player cooldown, and rejoining quickly does not lose the claim. Operators can always look up the real name behind an alias. The server only requests a skin it does not already have saved, and a background cleanup process bounds how much skin data it keeps. Player Disguise runs on NeoForge 1.21.1, and a Fabric port is planned.

Key features

  1. Custom profiles

    Players create profiles with a chosen name and a skin from a PNG file, managed in the profile book.

  2. Server-wide visibility

    After joining, the alias and skin appear to everyone on the server, including in the tab list and nameplates.

  3. Persistent name claims

    An alias stays reserved for its owner across logouts, and other players cannot use the same name.

  4. Efficient skin transfer

    A two-step handshake means the server requests only skin data it does not already store.

  5. Bounded skin storage

    A background cleanup process trims stored skin data so the cache stays within a fixed size.

Use cases

Character-driven worlds

On servers built around roleplay, a player can take a fresh identity without leaving the account.

Fun and hiding

Aliases let players play under a different name for amusement or to keep their own identity private.

Who it’s for: Server owners running roleplay or character-driven worlds, and players who want a fresh identity on a server without creating a new account.

Questions

Does Player Disguise need to be installed on the server?

The mod works on either side, and neither side strictly needs it. Alias visibility for everyone on a server requires the server to run it.

Can operators see who is behind an alias?

Yes. Operators can always perform a real-name lookup for any alias.

Which loader and game version does Player Disguise support?

The mod is published for NeoForge 1.21.1 only, and a Fabric port is planned.
