Simple Nick

Plugin

Disguise yourself as any real Minecraft player. /nick copies that player's name and skin onto you everywhere: above your head, in chat, in the tab list and even in commands. It stays until you run /unnick.

Please message me if you encounter any Bugs! Discord: Muhammed.n.14 (for Bug-Reports, other Issues and Feedback) Available for Paper 1.20+ (and Paper forks such as Purpur)

Features:

• Copies the real skin of any existing Minecraft account, fetched live from Mojang
• Changes your name everywhere: nametag above your head, chat, tab list and join/leave messages
• Fake leave/join broadcast: when you nick, the server announces that your old name "left the game" and your new name "joined the game" and the other way around on /unnick
• Your nick survives relogs and server restarts, it stays active until you remove it yourself
• Rejoining while nicked shows the join message with your nick name, never your real one
• Nick names work in commands: **/tp <NickName>_ automatically resolves to the right player
• Tab-completion suggests the nick instead of the real name, so nicked players stay hidden
• No dependencies, no ProtocolLib, no configuration just drop it in and it works

How to use (in-game):

• /nick Nick as an existing Minecraft player (copies their name and skin)
• /unnick Removes your nick and restores your real name and skin

Permissions:

• simplenick.use You need this Permission to use /nick and /unnick. (Default: op)

Notes:

• Requires Paper or a Paper fork (Purpur, etc.). Skin changing uses Paper's player profile API and is not available on plain Spigot/CraftBukkit.
• Active nicks are stored in plugins/SimpleNick/nicks.yml. There is no config file to set up.
