One project, one command style, and one consistent player identity experience across both Fabric and Bukkit-family servers.

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.
