Table of Contents

ChangePlayerName - Change your name INGAME

Note:

This plugin is no longer abandoned! The development has been partially taken over by XEROX21000.

ChangePlayerName Banner

SAFETY WARNING:

This plugin is potentially dangerous. It may break your plugins and can potentially be used to grief. Don't give this plugins permissions node do everyone. For the love of god, do not add an ascii color code to your new name. Do not use this command under the influence of drugs. I take no responsibility for what you do with this plugin.

Introduction:

So this is a plugin which can change a players name ingame, with no logouts. This is the command:

/changename <playername> - Changes your username (Permissions node changename.change)

This is a very powerful plugin, as its not just a simple Nickname changer plugin.

Features:

Changing your player name ingame
Changing the name displayed in /who
Changing the name in chat
Changing skin to the new name for other users. It won't change for yourself due to a limitation in minecraft
Changing usergroup to the new name (does not change permissions with PermissionsEX)
Changing name that appears above your head

Video Demonstration:

So yeah, very powerful.

Bugs/Limitations:

As stated above, changing skin for yourself is not possible due to a limitation in minecraft
Can be used to become a higher ranked user, but thankfully won't give the higher permissions!
None others that I have found

Possible Uses:

Server administration - Checking user groups without having to re log or ask other users
Server administration - Disguise as a default user to moniter other people
Developing - Checking you coded permissions right :D
Fun - Convince your users you are Notch! Or Jeb! Or Team avolition! (lol)

Changelog:

Version 1 Initial release

Acknowledgement:

lahwran - He released the code for changing the name, I implemented it :D

The Bottom Bit:

Thanks for 55k guys!

@rymate1234:

When attempting to use this plugin on a Bukkit 1.4.7 R1.0 server, the following error is received when starting the server:

7:05:07 AM CONSOLE: [SEVERE] Could not load 'plugins/ChangePlayerName.jar' in folder 'plugins' 7:05:07 AM CONSOLE: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError net/minecraft/server/v1_4_5/Entity 7:05:07 AM CONSOLE: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException net.minecraft.server.v1_4_5.Entity

Please, kind sir, update this plugin to use the new Bukkit plugin system/methods.

Thank you,

SirSilentBob

Hi if someone want to change the name of other players, use the RemoteCommand plugin

The plugin changes the way the player is identified to the server. It allows them to exactly mimic another player. This can cause issues with plugins that don't expect this!

In what way can this plugin break other plugins, is there any specific plugins that it cannot support or something? Is that something I would really need to be worried about?

Request, could you make it so that admins can set X players nickname to Y? So I could change people's username without giving them the permission node.

EDIT: could you also make it so that it writes in some save the real nick, and the saved nick so when a player logs in, the same nick is formed ( so it would show "Y joined the game" instead of the Readl name "X joined the game!"

I see from your demo video that this plugin was from the pre 1.8 update (no hunger bar). I would like to know if this plugin will still work but I do not want to find out myself by putting it on my server and potentially making it crash really badley

Is there anyway to just Change name, Because if you change name to somebody not on the server you get a Default skin...... which is rather rubbish.

Aah nice! :)

Also. Is it Persistent?
And does it require Permissions?
And can I change other player’s name?
