Fancy Name Mod lets you create custom stylized nicknames and share them with other players across any server. It works entirely on the client side, meaning any other player with the mod installed sees your chosen name format right away. You can apply custom text formatting like gradients, bold tags, and color codes to stand out in multiplayer worlds.

Fancy Name Mod

Features:

  • Lets you set a custom display name or reformat your current username with colors.
  • Uses the MiniMessage format to support colorful gradients, hex shades, and bold text.
  • Works across any multiplayer server without needing server-side plugins.
  • Only shows custom tags to other players running the same client mod.
  • Includes an option to only show style changes while keeping original player names intact.
  • Lets you hide nicknames in the player list or in the game world independently.

Commands:

  • /fancy set <nickname>: sets your stylized nickname using MiniMessage format tags.
  • /fancy : turns the nickname display system on or off in the game.

Configuration:

  • Enable/Disable: turns the mod features on or off.
  • Style Changes Only: hides name changes that alter the original username while keeping custom color styles.
  • Disable in Player List: hides nicknames in the tab player list.
  • Disable in Game: hides custom nicknames above player models in the world.

How to Use:

  1. Open the chat window in your game.
  2. Type /fancy set <nickname> with your chosen MiniMessage formatting tags.
  3. Keep your base username identical to prevent players using the style filter from ignoring your tag.
  4. Open the configuration menu in the Mod Menu list or type /fancy off if you want to turn off custom tags.
