Fakename adds a simple way to change your display name in-game.
⚠️ Note: This mod is a port of the original Fakename mod. I am not the original author. Current work is focused on making it compatible with Minecraft 1.20.1+. Port requests for newer versions are welcome. Original: https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/fakename
The fake name is visible in:
- Chat
- Death messages
- Above the player's head
Names are world/server specific, meaning they do not change your name permanently.
The server must also have the mod installed for it to work.

-
Fake Names 🎭
- Set temporary names for yourself or others in a world or server.
-
Color Codes & Spaces 🌈
- Supports color codes using
&(e.g.,&6Notch→ gold). - White spaces allowed via
/ -(1.12) or quotes" "(1.15+). - Combine colors and spaces freely.
- Supports color codes using
-
Simple Commands ⚡
/fakename set [player] <fakename>→ Sets a fake name/fakename clear [player]→ Clears a fake name/realname <fakename>→ Gets the real name of a player
-
Aliases

Server Permissions
