Saros Fakename Port Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I set a fake name for myself?
Use the command /fakename set with no player argument, followed by your desired fake name. For example: /fakename set MyFakeName. Your fake name will then appear in chat and above your head to other players.
Can I set a fake name for another player?
Yes, use /fakename set [player] [fakename], replacing [player] with the target player's real name and [fakename] with what you want them to appear as. Only you will see this fake name in your game.
What's the difference between /fakename and /fn?
/fn is a shorter alias for /fakename—they do the same thing. Use whichever you prefer.
How do I find out a player's real name if they're using a fake name?
Use /realname [fakename], replacing [fakename] with the name they're displaying. This will show you their actual account name.
How do I remove a fake name and go back to my real name?
Use /fakename clear with no player argument to remove your own fake name, or /fakename clear [player] to remove a fake name you set for someone else.
Do fake names show up in death messages?
Yes, death messages will display the fake name you've set, not the player's real account name.
Will other players see the same fake names I set?
No, fake names are client-side only—each player sees their own custom fake names. Other players won't see the fake names you've created unless they set the same ones themselves.
Can I use special characters or colors in fake names?
This depends on your mod version, but most versions support basic text; check your specific version's documentation for details on color codes or special character support.
Does this mod work on multiplayer servers?
Yes, the mod works on both single-player and multiplayer servers. Fake names are only visible to you and don't affect the server or other players' games.
What happens if I set a fake name that's the same as another player's real name?
The fake name will display as you set it, but you can still use /realname to look up the actual account name if needed to avoid confusion.
