# Native Nicknames<\/p>\n

This mod adds native nicknames to Minecraft, on the lowest level possible. Intercepts game profiles just after session authentication.<\/p>\n

Nicknamed users will appear identically to the game as if you change your actual Minecraft username.<\/p>\n

Intended for friend-only servers with a whitelist, there are no permission checks.<\/p>\n

Please note that this mod only works with `online-mode=true` set in the `server.properties`.<\/p>\n

Duplicates are prevented, but there’s no protection against setting a nickname and then having the real user with that nickname join the server – this is unsupported, I do not know what would break if you tried.<\/p>\n

It targets Fabric, NeoForge, Forge and Quilt, and supports all major versions since 1.14.4 (powered by Stonecutter & Architectury), as well as 1.12.2 and 1.7.10 (manual ports).<\/p>\n

If this mod is missing a version you want to use it on, please open an issue and I will add it when I have time.<\/p>\n

## Usage
\nAs a player, run `\/nick set ` to set a nickname, and `\/nick clear` to clear your nickname, then reconnect to the server.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
