Player Search Reborn

by ImPiglet

Player Search Reborn lets players look up other players in-game by nickname or UUID, and it can show a skin preview and nickname history.

FabricServer required, client optionalCustom license1.21.11

What it does

Players can search for a player by nickname and see the matching UUID. Selecting a player shows their UUID and a preview of their skin model, so a name can be checked against the account behind it. Nickname history is listed in separate columns, with the source of each entry shown beside it.

Its code builds on earlier work, with thanks to enjarai for the code that displays a player's skin. Fabric is the only loader it is published for, and it runs for Minecraft 1.21.11. Only the server has to run the mod, while players may leave it out. The mod is released under a custom license and is not open source.

Installation needs Fabric Loader and the mod on the server. Players who join without the mod can still be looked up, but the search and history screens are only available to those who run it on their client.

Key features

  1. Nickname and UUID search

    Look up a player by nickname or UUID from inside the game, without leaving to a website.

  2. UUID display

    The UUID of a selected player is shown so the account can be confirmed.

  3. Skin model preview

    A preview of the player's skin model is drawn for the selected account.

  4. Nickname history by source

    Previous nicknames are listed in separate columns, each marked with the service that recorded it, including Laby.

Use cases

Checking a name change

A server admin can see whether a player has used another nickname before and where that information comes from.

Finding an account by UUID

Players who only know a UUID can find the matching nickname without an outside tool.

Who it’s for: Server owners and moderators who need to confirm who a player is, and players who want to look up other accounts from inside the game.
