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.
Can I scan my entire server at once?
Yes, run /nicknamedetector with no arguments to generate a list of all players currently on your server with indicators showing who is using nicknames and who is using their real usernames.
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.
