About this project

What does Custom Player Name add?

This mod gives you the ability to change anyone's in game player name via the /fakename set command. Your name in chat, in display, and in the playerlist will become whatever you want, and you can even add formatting using "&" instead of the regular "§". This is especially useful in roleplay with configuration to change the permission required to use the commands and whose that can use them, Custom Player Name is only required in the server side.

Was AI used in this project?: To a certains extend, yes. Whenever I found myself stuck to look for a solution that could be literally anywhere in the server and common game code, I looked if AI had a clue. Then I would test this solution and correct it. AI was not abused more than this, only to save hours or days of madness of research for one clue in the game source code, and most of the project's code was written by myself. The animated logo was made by MarbledNull, thank you very much Marbled!
