Frequently asked questions

How do I check if a single player is using a nickname?
Use the command /nicknamedetector and the mod will search Mojang's database to tell you whether that player's displayed name is their original username or a nickname.
What's the difference between a real username and a nickname?
A real username is the original Minecraft account name registered with Mojang, while a nickname is an alternate display name a player has chosen—the mod identifies which is which by cross-referencing Mojang's database.
Does the mod work if players are offline?
The mod checks against Mojang's database, so it can identify nicknames for any username that exists in the system, whether the player is currently online or not.
