Plugin Nick Namer

Nick Namer

Nick Namer is a classic Bukkit plugin that lets players adopt a custom display name on a Minecraft server without changing their actual account username. With a simple nickname command, players can choose personalized names, use color codes where permitted, and keep their nickname after reconnecting. The plugin can update chat and tab list displays, while optional TagAPI support extends the change to the name above the player and may also affect the visible skin.

Administrators get permissions, nickname changes for other players, blacklist controls, real name lookup, and customizable join, leave, and kick messages. At BoxToPlay, we present it as a lightweight identity and roleplay tool for servers seeking more flexible player presentation.
