About this Mod
🎭 NickName Changer: Unmatched Identity Control
Tired of being a ghost in F5? NickName Changer is the only tool you need to take total control over how you—and everyone else—look on your screen. No more invisible nametags. No more boring skins.
⚡ The "Main" Features:
- 🏷️ Force-Render Nametags: Bypasses hardcoded vanilla logic. Finally see your own custom name floating above your head in third-person (F5) mode.
- 👕 Instant Identity Theft: Copy any online player's skin textures instantly. Just type the name, hit save, and you're wearing it.
- 🕵️ Global Stealth: Hide everyone else's skins or rename every player on the server to a custom name (like "Player") to clean up your view and boost FPS.
- ⌨️ Total Customization: A sleek, centered UI with a fully rebindable shortcut. Don't like F6? Set it to whatever fits your playstyle.
🚀 Built for the SMP Grind
Optimized specifically for high-population servers like DonutSMP. While other mods choke and freeze your PC trying to load player data, NickName Changer uses a lightweight scan-and-cache system.
- Zero Lag.
- Zero Connection Resets.
- Pure Performance.
🛠️ Universal Support
Why download multiple mods for different updates? One single JAR file provides a "No-Fail" experience across every version from 1.21 to 1.21.11. Whether you're on the legacy 1.21.1 or the modern 1.21.4 rendering engine, it just works.
How to use:
- Open the menu (Default: F6).
- Set your alias and target skin.
- Hit DONE and flex in F5.
(Requires Fabric API)
