Player History
by dpdbp
Player History lets a client user search a Minecraft player's past usernames, skins and capes from inside the game, with the data drawn from several public sources.
What it does
Searching a player by nickname shows their current name, a dated list of the usernames they have used, and the skins and capes recorded for them. Results are gathered from several public name-history services, so one search can bring together more than one data source.
Entries that appear more than once or disagree between sources are marked with the source they came from, so a conflicting username is not silently merged. A player information panel lists the UUID, whether the UUID is claimed, the sources consulted, and the friends count shown on NameMC. The mod needs no server component, and it is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
Key features
Username search
Search any player by nickname and see their current name in one panel.
Dated username history
A list of past usernames with the dates each one was seen, for tracing name changes.
Skin and cape history
Previously recorded skins and capes for a player, with capes ordered to favor LabyNet cape data.
Skin and cape preview
Previews of skins and capes appear inside the menu, so results can be checked without leaving the game.
Source-tagged results
Duplicate or conflicting username entries are labeled with the data source they came from.
