Custom Names

This mod adds a /name, a /itemname and a /itemlore command to Minecraft, which players can use to set a prefix, suffix, or nickname, or give their items colourful names and lore. Mostly designed to be used in small, private servers.

Supports prefixes/suffixes set with LuckPerms as well!

I try to keep support up for the latest major and latest minor release of Minecraft. Updates to newer Minecraft versions may be delayed from time to time, as I do not always have the time to immediately update my mods.

Unsupported versions are still available to download, but they won't receive new features or bugfixes.

Usage

This mod is oriented at Fabric Minecraft servers, but works on the client as well. This mod requires the Fabric API.

The /name command can be used as follows:

• /name prefix - sets a prefix for your name, or when no prefix is given, clears your prefix.
  • Requires operator or the customname.prefix permission.
• /name suffix - sets a suffix for your name, or when no suffix is given, clears your suffix.
  • Requires operator or the customname.suffix permission.
• /name nickname - sets a nickname that will appear instead of your IGN, or when no nickname is given, clears your nickname.
  • Requires operator or the customname.nick permission.
• /name other <prefix|suffix|nickname> <player>
  • Same syntax as their respective /name <prefix|suffix|nickname> commands, but to set another player's prefix/suffix/nickname. Requires operator or the customname.other permission on top of the respective customname.<nametype> permission.

When hovering over a player's name with advanced tooltips enabled, their real name will show up.

The /itemname command can be used to rename the item you're currently holding. Requires operator or the customname.itemname permission.

Similarly, the /itemlore can be used to set the lore of an item you're holding. Requires operator or the customname.itemlore permission. \n can be used to create new lines, \\ can be used to escape a backslash.

Similar to the /name commands, running these commands without arguments resets the item name/lore of the item you're holding.

Minecraft's formatting codes can be used to format your prefix, suffix, nickname, or your item names/lores. Instead of the § character, use & (to use & in an (item)name, type &&). Alongside Minecraft's default formatting codes, the &#<hex code> format can be used as well.

Useful tools to easily create formatted names are available here and here. Usage of formatting codes in names can be disabled in the config file.

Alongside the /name command, this mod also supports reading prefixes and suffixes from the LuckPerms mod.

Config file

The mod's configuration file is present in {root config directory}/eclipsescustomname.json. By default, the configuration file looks like this:

{
  "enable_formatting": true,
  "require_permissions": true,
  "blacklisted_names": [],
  "max_name_length": 16,
  "operators_bypass_restrictions": false
}

• enable_formatting can be used to disable the use of Minecraft formatting codes in names.
• require_permissions can be used to disable the permission requirement. When set to false, the /name, /itemname and /itemlore commands are available to everyone.
• blacklisted_names is a list of regexes that are blacklisted. When a prefix, suffix or nickname matches one of these regexes, they won't be able to be used.
• max_name_length controls how long a player prefix/nickname/suffix can be, which can be 32 at most.
• operators_bypass_restrictions can be used to disable name restrictions for operators. When this is enabled, operators and people with the permission customname.bypass_restrictions can use spaces in nicknames, bypass the max length restriction, and more.
