Nick Namer
Nick Namer - Change your in-game name!
Current Latest Version: v1.2.1
I'm Not Dead!
A lot of time and effort goes into these plugins I make. I'm currently a Freshman in High School so it's hard to find the time to maintain and develop my plugins. Donations would be a great way to help me and for you guys to show your appreciation. Donate
Tired of the same in-game name? Well Give yourself a brand spanking new Name! That's right son, a NEW NAME! Nick Namer currently has permissions support (SuperPerms by default...), TagAPI Support, and will default to OP if no permissions file is found.

In Depth Features (Will most likely answer any questions you have)
What this plugin does is allow players to change their display name, not their actual minecraft username. If you don't have TagApi it will only change your chat name and player tab list name. Now what this means is that the name over your head will not be changed with regular installation. IF you use a chat plugin such as Herochat or whatever chat plugins are out nowadays, make sure you change the chat configuration to show the display name instead of the player's actual minecraft username. If you want all Nick Namer has to offer and have installed TagAPI, then with the use of this API, the name above the player's head will be changed, along with their skin of the player's name. (E.g if I nicknamed myself 'Notch', the name above my head would change to 'Notch' and my skin would be changed to his too) I cannot change the fact that your skin changes with the nicknames, as mbaxter said in the description of his API, this is a minecraft client issue and cannot be changed. When you nickname yourself it will check if your name is blacklisted or not based on the config node 'Use Blacklist' and whether or not you have the permission to bypass the blacklist. If you try to nickname yourself a blacklisted word, the NickChangeEvent is cancelled.
Commands
- /nnick <NickName> - change your name, even with Colors1 (Ex. /nnick &b[CoolGuy]&ckilljoy64)
- /nnick <Player> <Nick> - changes the players Nick to the specified Nick. (Ex. /nick PWicks23 &bPWicks)
- /realnick <Nick> - returns the players real name! (New and Improved!)
- /nicknamer <Arg1> <Arg2>... - NickNamer Plugin commands like reload ect.

@killjoy64 thx, but by deleting tag.api i loose all functions of your plugin, too :(
i wan´t to use your plugin on a roll-playing server. So i need all tag-names to be hidden/decrypted. With this plugin it is possible to do the magic-format(so you can´t read the name & have to ask for it): http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/nametags
can you do it with your plugin, too? So a "&k" for magic-format: http://ess.khhq.net/mc would be nice for tagname. until yet, it doesn´t work if i try i get this: http://s7.directupload.net/images/130330/do4am87w.png (Colored Tags: true) in chat, playerlist it´s the same - no magic-format :(
Essentials-compability: by the way, the console-command nick doesn´t work, if you have essentials installed. So the config-file is importand to have, to be able to use your plugin. So - thx for the config-file :)
thx

@o0Julia0o
Uhm I guess I could do that, but because I depend on a seperate plugin (TagAPI) and since that plugin is limited to minecraft itself along with it's complications, I can't have the player change the name over their heads AND keep their original skin. If you want to toggle between overhead names and non overhead names then just get rid of or keep TagAPI in your plugin directory.
One Point is missing to be the perfect name-mod:
an option for overheadname is missing:
<<code lua>>
overhead name(only the shown name): falseso -> it would be nice, if you could change your overheadname(or completely hide it, but keep the skin) for roleplaye-feeling, etc.
thx
julia :)
@janie177
That was what I was thinking, along with the ability to block certain colors.
@killjoy64
Welcome back :) A nice feature might be blocked combinations in nicknames. Like a blacklist. For example: it's really annoying to have people with &k in their name. It really spams the chat alot.
Sorry about the lack of updates, got busy. I'll pay more attention to the comments now and look for more useful additions to NickNamer.
But you will not see it in the chat "Help is asked"
Hey guys i need help and fast because i got a server 1200slots!. But i need some plugin before we start the server for the public (We ar on whitelist) So yea this plugin lets talk about it can i change me name and could people see me name above me head and still got me own skin? And does the name changer give me the abillty to chat with it?. === 2 === Also i got ops but some ar still not ready to get op powers is there a plugin that allow me to give rank to me player and they also get few powers not the power abillities. ===3=== I'm from the netherlands thanks guys for helping me!.
I wish this worked on NPCs with Citizens, but sadly it doesn't and the Citizens author states it will not work D;
@janie177
I've given out a little better :)
Someone please update this :( Each minecraft update brings more and more errors :c
If anyone would look an an updated, Spout supported plugin:
http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/simplenames/pages/main/
I have the latest version of Nick Namer (v0.9) and I have my config setup like this
But when players join the server or leave it doesn't show their nicknames. It shows their actual names.
Each time the server restartss all nicknames are RESET. Please fix it..
version 0.9 is broken in 1.4.6, but version 0.7 works fine. :3
Hey kill Love the plugin definatly using it in my server
I'm getting an error when starting up my server using the newest bukkit build. This must have something to do with the recent changes in bukkit which break alot of plugins. Could you update? :)
Hi im new at being a Admin of a server. I have a mac and when I drag the plugin to the plugins folder the server is not noticing that the plug in is there. I have reloaded and I have another plugin called color me. It is reconizing that one but not the nicknamer. Plz help. Thanks
suggestion,
Maybe the ability to give everybody in a specified group the same nametag. say like yo have a Guest group all their names are Guest. or an assasin's guild all the assassins are named assassin. :D
I love the plugin! Best chat plugin out there! Theirs one key feature i'm either overlooking or it really needs. Option to disable name colors within chat in the config please?
I've got all my names the same color in chat using HeroChat but i'd like the colors to only show up over head and possibly in the tab list if that's at all possible. -Without- changing the color of their chat name.
You should also add an option to make the plugin not change names above head but allowing them to have a nickname while still having Tagapi installed so they can keep their skin.
