About this project
What does Nickname Detector add?
Summary:
This mod checks if a username is a real username or not, it won't detect all nicknames but it'll detect most. It detects nicknames by looking them up in the Mojang database to see if they exist. The command for checking for nicknames is /nicknamedetector. /nicknamedetector will check everyone in the server while /nicknamedetector (player) checks a specific player. There's also a keybind to check whoever you're looking at.
