About this project

What does FancyName add?

FancyName Header

Nick yourself—or stylize your existing username. Everyone using the mod will be able to see your nickname on any server.

Usage

In-game, type /fancy set <nickname>

It is recommended to keep your original username text the same, as some people have the 'Style Changes Only' option enabled.

Styling

FancyName uses MiniMessage for styling. Full MiniMessage format options can be found here.

It may be more convient for you to use a GUI to create MiniMessage styles. Here are a few MiniMessage GUI options:

Examples

/fancy set <gradient:#FF76C1:#FFFFFF>yazilie</gradient>

/fancy set <b><red>NOT</red></b> <gradient:red:white>yazilie</gradient>

FancyName Demo

Config Options

  • Enable/Disable the mod
  • Only show nicknames that do not change the username, while allowing custom styles
  • Disable nicknames in the player list
  • Disable nicknames in game

Access the config via Mod Menu, or turn it on/off in-game with /fancy <on|off>
