Plugin SimpleNicks

SimpleNicks, flexible nicknames for Minecraft servers

SimpleNicks is a lightweight Java Edition plugin for Paper and Purpur servers that focuses on one task, giving players customizable nicknames without bundling unrelated features. It uses MiniMessage tags for colors and text styles, making names more expressive while keeping permissions configurable.

Players can set, reset, save, and remove nickname presets, while staff can manage names and identify the account behind a nickname. The plugin can also display nicknames in the tab list, protect usernames from impersonation, store data with SQLite or MySQL, and expose PlaceholderAPI variables. At BoxToPlay, we recommend it for servers seeking simple, controlled identity customization.
