QuickNick
QuickNick is a Forge server mod that lets players set a display name shown in chat, the tab list and nametags.
What it does
A command lets a player change the display name shown in chat, nametags and the player list, and formatted text is supported in the name. A config option sets the permission level needed to change the server configuration, with a default of 1. Only the server needs the mod; clients may add it for the same name display. Released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, the source code is open and public. Files exist for Forge 1.20.1, with 1.1.2 as the latest build from 2026-05-23.
Key features
Display name command
A player can change the name shown to others with a single command, rather than editing a server file.
Formatted names
The display name accepts formatted text, so colors and styles can be applied to the name shown in game.
Permission level setting
A config command sets the permission level required to change the configuration, defaulting to 1.
