Frequently asked questions

How do I set my first custom nickname?
Use the command `/fancy set ` in chat, replacing ` ` with your desired name. If you want to use colors or formatting, you'll need to include MiniMessage syntax in the same command.
What is MiniMessage format and how do I use it?
MiniMessage is a text formatting system that lets you add colors, gradients, and styles using tags like ` text ` or ` text `. You can nest these tags in your `/fancy set` command to create formatted nicknames.
Can other players see my custom name if they don't have the mod?
No—players without Fancy Name Mod installed will see your original username instead. Only players running the mod will see your custom stylized nickname.
Do I need the server to have a plugin for this to work?
No, the mod works entirely on the client side, so it functions on any multiplayer server without requiring any plugins or server configuration.
