At a glance
Install in the game only; not needed on the server
Nick yourself—or stylize your existing username. Everyone using the mod will be able to see your nickname on any server.
Usage
In-game, type `/fancy set `
It is recommended to keep your original username text the same, as some people have the 'Style Changes Only' option enabled.
Styling
FancyName uses MiniMessage for styling. Full MiniMessage format options can be found here.
It may be more convient for you to use a GUI to create MiniMessage styles. Here are a few MiniMessage GUI options:
- RGBirdflop - Generate gradient names with ease. Make sure to set 'Color Format' to 'MiniMessage'
- RGBirdflop Advanced - Full Minecraft text editor, compatible with MiniMessage.
- MiniMessage Web Editor - Full MiniMessage editor.
Examples
```/fancy set <gradient:#FF76C1:#FFFFFF>yazilie```
```/fancy set NOT <gradient:red:white>yazilie```
Config Options
- Enable/Disable the mod
- Only show nicknames that do not change the username, while allowing custom styles
- Disable nicknames in the player list
- Disable nicknames in game
Access the config via Mod Menu, or turn it on/off in-game with /fancy <on|off>
