Roleplay chat

What's new in version 2.1.0

Anonymous hex code identity

Every player is automatically assigned a unique anonymous identifier at first connection (e.g. #15AACF). This code:

• appears in the player list and above the player's head instead of their Minecraft username;
• shows as a hover tooltip in chat once they have an RP name set;
• works as a target in all vanilla commands (/kick, /ban, /op, /tp, /give…) with # autocomplete.

RP name input screen

On first connection, a screen prompts the player to choose their RP name. The screen:

• cannot be dismissed with Escape (Escape opens the pause menu, and the screen reappears when the player returns to the game);
• validates the name server-side (non-empty, ≤ 32 characters, unique) and displays errors directly on screen;
• can also be reached at any time via /rpname <name> to rename.

RP introduction system

By default, other players' RP names are hidden (? is shown). To reveal your identity to a specific player:

/rp present #15AACF

Introductions are persistent and restored automatically after a reconnect.

Nametag visibility

• Behind a wall — a player's nametag disappears entirely if a solid block stands between your camera and them. Creative mode bypasses this check.
• Concealing headgear — a player wearing an item from the roleplay-chat:conceals_identity tag (helmet slot) appears as ? to everyone, even players they've introduced themselves to. Their hex code remains visible for moderators.

Server admins can extend this tag via a datapack:

{
  "replace": false,
  "values": ["minecraft:leather_helmet", "yourmod:hood"]
}
