Nicky is a lightweight Spigot plugin that lets players and staff assign custom nicknames on a Minecraft server. Nicknames can include color and formatting codes, while the original username remains available through the realname command. The plugin focuses on chat identity rather than changing player name tags.
It stores nickname data with MySQL or SQLite, supports UUIDs, and can synchronize nicknames across multiple servers through MySQL. Tablist updates, optional join and leave messages, permissions, blacklist controls, and a small API make it practical for community, roleplay, and network servers. At BoxToPlay, we present Nicky as a focused solution for flexible player identities.
