Table of Contents

NickNames

NickNames is a simple plugin, that adds support for nicknames into the game. These nicknames persist over server restarts, and can be coloured. Display name, tab-list name, and name in join and quit messages are currently affected by nicknames.

Commands:

/nick - Basic nick command.
/nick <nickname> - Changes your nick to <nickname>.
/nick <playername> <nickname> - Changes <playername>'s nick to <nickname>.
/nick off - Removes your nick.
/nick off <playername> - Removes nickname for <playername>.
/nicknames - Displays plugin information.
/nicknames lookup <nickname> - Looks up a username from a nickname.

Permissions

nicknames.nick - Can change any nicks.
nicknames.nick.self - Can change own nick.
nicknames.nick.other - Can change other's nicks.
nicknames.lookup - Can lookup people based on their nicknames

Config

As of version 2.3, there are two configuration options. In v2.2, the only option is allow-duplicate-nicknames, which determines whether the plugin will allow multiple players having the same nickname. Note that it is recommended to set this to false as it prevents use of the lookup command. In v2.3 the option join-and-quit-message-colour is added to stop nickname colour from taking over the message. It defaults to the default colour (yellow).

allow-duplicate-nicknames: false
# &e is yellow
join-and-quit-message-colour: &e

Changelog

v2.3 - Join and quit messages, colour support added
v2.2 - Improve help command, add tab-list name changing.
v2.1 - Add nick lookup and nick off <playername> capabilities
v2.0 - Complete rewrite
v1.1 - Changed to JRE6, fixes.
v1.0 - Release

Warning: It does NOT change nametags it seems, so if you Nick with this your normal IGN will still show above your head. I checked the config and it didn't appear to have any setting for this either.

Hi. So I'm using your plugin in 1.16.1, and it works great, but I can't figure out how to make it work with the plugin TAB. Any chance for PlaceholderAPI support?

The plugin works on 1.16.1... mostly.

Trying to use /nicknames lookup <nickname> gives a result of "is called null"
Need a way to know who is who as a server op. And a log would be nice. Hopefully it is something I don't need.

Works on 1.12.2! Thank you. Been looking forever for a simple plugin to change the names, and this one works perfect.

Is this plugin supports Unicode? (e.g. Chinese, Japanese) After searching hard in Bukkit and Curse, I can't find any nickname plugin that supports Unicode.

Can you add support for:

Strings as nicknames (ie. /nickname John Selleck, just to distinguish) The ability for a staff to have prefixes in tab. (so like, prefix per group, kind of like in Nametag edit)
