NameReplace

Will replace all instances of the player name in chat messages and the tablist with a custom replacement.

Command overview:

A /namereplace command exists that allows you to add, remove, or clear player names from the replacement list. Requires permission level 3 by default, but it can be changed in the config.

  • `/namereplace add <replace_name>`: Adds a name to replace. Will overwrite existing names.
  • `/namereplace remove `: Removes a name from the override list.
  • /namereplace list: Prints current name replace table
  • /namereplace clear: Removes all name overrides.

By default, there is also a /replacename command alias registered that redirects to the normal command. It can be disabled in the config.

Things of note:

  • Nametags can only be replaced if the mod is installed on the client, otherwise the name is changed everywhere else.
  • Players will not be required to relog for changes to take effect.
