Nicknames

Nicknames

Colored (MiniMessage) nicknames, with real-name lookup for staff and a Bedrock-safe fallback.

Commands

Command	Description
/nick <nickname|off>	Set or clear your own nickname
/nick <player> <nickname|off>	Set another player's nickname (youneedme.nick.others)
/realname <nickname>	Resolve a nickname back to the real account name

Configuration (modules/nickname.yml)

max-length: 16
blacklist:
  - admin
  - moderator
  - owner

The length check strips MiniMessage tags before counting, so <red>Steve</red> counts as 5 characters, not 21.

Floodgate (Bedrock) behavior

If Floodgate is installed and the target of /nick is a Bedrock player, any MiniMessage tags in the requested nickname are stripped automatically — Bedrock clients render <red>Name</red> as literal text rather than a color, so a colored nickname would otherwise show up broken to every Bedrock player who sees it (including the one who set it).
