Set Up a Fake Player to Haunt Your Friends

Adding and Spawning a Fake Player

Fake players are one of the most effective ways to unsettle your friends. They appear as real players but behave unnaturally, creating confusion and dread.

Step 1: Add the fake player name

Use the command /addFakeJoiner <fakesName> to register a fake player. Choose a name that fits your prank—it could be a friend's name, a creepy username, or something nonsensical.

Step 2: Spawn the fake player near your target

Use /spawnFakePlayer <targets> <fakesName> <radius> <hideNametag>. Replace:

  • <targets> with the player you want to scare
  • <fakesName> with the name you registered
  • <radius> with how far away (in blocks) the fake player should appear
  • <hideNametag> with true to hide their name, or false to show it

Step 3: Watch the chaos unfold

Your target will see what appears to be a real player joining, but the fake player won't respond to chat or behave normally. For maximum effect, combine this with other commands like /fakeSteps to make it seem like the fake player is following them.
