Fakename

The Fakename mod provides players with a convenient tool to change their displayed name directly during gameplay. Your new pseudonym will be visible in chat, death messages, and above the character's head.

It's important to note that name changes only apply within a specific world or server and are not permanent. This is not a hack - all server participants must install the mod for it to work.

Main Commands

Setting a Pseudonym

Use the command:

/fakename set [player] <pseudonym>

If no player is specified, the command will change the sender's name. Color codes with the & symbol at the beginning are supported.

Example: &6Notch displays in gold color.

Spaces in Names

• In version 1.12: use /- for spaces
• In versions 1.15+: enclose the name in quotes " "
• In versions 1.18+: to use colors, you must enclose the entire name in quotes

Example for 1.12: My/-Name/-Is/-Tschipp → My Name Is Tschipp Example for 1.15+: "My Name Is Tschipp" → My Name Is Tschipp

You can combine color codes and spaces.

Resetting a Pseudonym

/fakename clear [player]

Removes the pseudonym of the specified player. If no player is specified - resets the sender's name.

Determining Real Name

• In version 1.12: /realname <pseudonym>
• In versions 1.15+: /fakename real <pseudonym>

Ignore color codes and spaces when entering the pseudonym.

Example: &4Herobrine/-the/-Boss → HerobrinetheBoss
