About this Mod

**The best nickname solution for modern Minecraft servers.
One project, one command style, and one consistent player identity experience across both Fabric and Bukkit-family servers.

Unlike typical nickname plugins that only rename chat or tab, Nickname is built as a full identity layer: join/leave, death, advancements, nametag behavior, persistence rules, and admin controls in one place.

DISCLAIMER:
This Mod has not been tested with other mods if you find Bugs please report them on

Why Nickname stands out

Cross-platform by design
Built for both Fabric and plugin ecosystems, so network owners can keep one nickname workflow across different server stacks.

Identity consistency, not just cosmetic rename

Nicknames are applied across multiple gameplay surfaces (join/leave, death, advancements, display contexts) instead of only one UI element.

Operationally flexible

Fine-grained toggles let you decide exactly how identity behaves: persistent or session-only, public former-name context, message-level controls, and more.

Made for real servers

Permission-based control, simple JSON storage, reload support, and no required client installation.
