About this Mod

NameProtect

NameProtect is a client-side Minecraft mod that changes your displayed name.
It's useful for avoiding stream sniping, protecting your identity, or hiding alt accounts.

Features

  • Replaces your in-game name locally
  • Prevents accidental leaks during recording or streaming
  • Lightweight and easy to configure
  • Supports multiple protection modes

Commands

All commands are client-side and do not require server support.

New Commands

  • /nameprotect mode <off|everyone|self>
    Sets the protection mode:

    • off – disables name protection
    • everyone – replaces your name for all players including yourself
    • self – replaces only your own view of your name
  • /nameprotect change <new name>
    Changes your name to the specified value.

Legacy Commands (deprecated)

  • /nameprotect toggle <on|off>
    Enables or disables name protection manually.

  • /nameprotect change <name>
    Old version of the change command.


Note: This mod only affects what you see client-side. Other players will still see your real username unless you use alt accounts or spoofers.
