About this Mod

Nick Detector
SHOW /NICK USERS IN PREMIUM SERVERS

It may not show the absolute truth.But usually true.

Nick Detector is a lightweight client-side mod for Minecraft Forge 1.8.9 that checks whether player usernames exist in Mojang’s official database. If a username cannot be found, the mod displays a red [NICKED] tag next to the player’s name in the TAB list.

Features
Client-side only (no server interaction or packet modification)

Uses the official Mojang API for username verification

Ignores rank prefixes and guild tags

Asynchronous checking system (no FPS drops)

Smart caching to prevent unnecessary API requests

Lightweight and performance-friendly

The mod analyzes only the original Minecraft username obtained from the player’s GameProfile. Rank prefixes (such as MVP+) and guild tags are ignored to ensure accurate name validation.

Note: This mod only works on premium (online-mode) servers. It detects usernames that are not registered in Mojang’s database. Valid premium usernames cannot be detected.

Frequently Asked Questions

NickDetector server crashes on startup – what to do?

Most common cause: wrong forge version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.8.9). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Is NickDetector compatible with forge?

NickDetector officially supports forge for Minecraft 1.8.9. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with NickDetector – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if NickDetector consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
