Have you ever wanted to impersonate another player ? Be it for making machinimas, roleplaying, playing 5D chess in factions, or just pranking friends, there are lots of (relatively) good reasons to assume the identity of someone else.<\/p>\n
**Requires the latest version of Fabric API**<\/p>\n
## Overview<\/p>\n
Impersonate allows players to take on the name and appearance of other players. When impersonating someone, a player will:<\/p>\n
– have the skin of the impersonated player
\n– have the nameplate of the impersonated player
\n– send every chat message as if they were the impersonated player
\n– appear as the impersonated players in online player lists
\n– sign books as if they were the impersonated player
\n– etc.<\/p>\n
They will however not fool the impersonated player’s pets, if any.<\/p>\n
To avoid moderation chaos, server logs will always display the actual player’s name, alongside their fake identity. Server operators will have ongoing impersonations revealed in the same way.<\/p>\n
**This mod works serverside (compatible with vanilla clients), but installation on clients is still recommended**, notably for server operators.<\/p>\n
### Commands<\/p>\n
Impersonate adds the `\/impersonate` command, allowing server operators and mapmakers to interact with the API through commands.<\/p>\n
