What it does

Players set a custom display name, and every occurrence of their real name in text is swapped for it. The mod can also hide the player's skin. It is a client-side Fabric mod, so only the client needs it and servers run without it.

The mod requires Fabric API, Mod Menu and YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL) to load. Builds cover 1.20.1 – 26.3, and the latest Fabric file, 0.2.1, targets 26.3 and was published on 2026-04-08. The code is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only and is open source.

Key features

  1. Custom display name

    A chosen name replaces the player's real name wherever it appears in text.

  2. Skin hiding

    The player's skin can be hidden, so the on-screen character no longer shows their appearance.

  3. Configurable options

    Settings are handled through YetAnotherConfigLib, which the mod requires alongside Mod Menu.
