nick-hide plugin

A lightweight Paper plugin for hiding or replacing a player's displayed name across the tab list, nameplate, server list ping, and join/quit messages.

Requirements

  • Paper 1.21.11 (or a compatible fork such as Purpur, Pufferfish, Leaf)
  • Java 21

This plugin relies on Paper-specific API (joinMessage/quitMessage, PaperServerListPingEvent) and will not work on plain Spigot or vanilla Bukkit.

Features

  • Hide a player's real name everywhere (tab list, nameplate, server list ping) and show ??? instead
  • Set a custom nick per player, persisted across restarts
  • Reset a player back to their real name
  • Custom nick/hidden state is reflected in join and quit messages

Commands

/nick <player> change <new_nick> Sets a custom nick (max 16 characters)
