  • Lightweight and easy to configure
  • Supports multiple protection modes

Commands

All commands are client-side and do not require server support.

New Commands

  • /nameprotect mode <off|everyone|self>
    Sets the protection mode:

    • off – disables name protection
    • everyone – replaces your name for all players including yourself
    • self – replaces only your own view of your name

    Changes your name to the specified value.

Legacy Commands (deprecated)
