Set a Fake Name for Another Player

Using the Basic Command

To give another player a fake name that appears in chat and above their head:

1. Open chat (T key by default)

2. Type: /fakename set [player] [fakename]

3. Replace [player] with the exact username of the target player

4. Replace [fakename] with the name you want them to display as

5. Press Enter

For example: /fakename set Steve BlueShirt will make the player "Steve" appear as "BlueShirt" to you.

Using Aliases

If you prefer shorter commands, use the alias /fn instead:

/fn set [player] [fakename]

This works identically but requires fewer keystrokes. The fake name will immediately appear in chat messages, death messages, and above the player's head in-game. Other players on the server will still see the real name unless they also run the command on their client.
