Name Changer

A mod for changing a player’s name. Designed to replace the player’s name consistently across the game. Useful for roleplay servers, content creation, screenshots, or simply using a different display name without changing your account username. Needs to be installed on both the client and the server for full functionality. ## Features ### Name Changing The primary feature of this mod is obviously changing the player's name. Here’s every place this affects: #### UI & Display - Chat name labels - Nameplates above players - Player list (under `Tab`) - Social interactions screen - Scoreboard sidebar display - MOTD for LAN worlds #### Commands & System Integration - Entity selection in commands - Works with both suggestions and execution - Original names still work - Various system messages - Death - Advancements - Join/Leave ### Name Command The `/name` command is used to set, reset, or inspect player names. It requires operator permissions and has two subcommands: - `/name set ` sets the name of the target player - `/name reset []` resets the name of the target player (or self if target is omitted) to what it was originally - `/name inspect []` shows information about the player's name like their original and custom name Custom names are stored per-world and persist between reloads. ### Config The mod currently has two config options: - **Name Conflict Warning** adds a warning when setting a name if it conflicts with other players' original or custom names - **Forbid Name Conflicts** prevents setting a name if it would cause conflicts with other players' original or custom names The config is available in the `namechanger-common.toml` file in the regular `./minecraft/config` directory and also using config mods like [Cloth Config](https://modrinth.com/mod/cloth-config) on Fabric and natively on NeoForge. ## Names The custom name entered in the `/name set` command is a text component. You can read more about them on the [Text Component](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Text_component_format#Java_Edition) page on the Minecraft Wiki. Here are examples of using the `/name set` command: **Plain text:** `/name set @s mineTomek` **Plain text with spaces or other special characters:** `/name set @s "mineTomek :3"` **Formatted text:** `/name set @s {text: "mineTomek", color: "#6dc53b", bold: true}` Formatting only affects chat messages and the player list.\ In most other places, Minecraft strips formatting and displays plain text instead.
