Plugin category: Admin Suggested name: CustomUsername What I want: I would like to see a plugin that allows you to change your Minecraft username. When you change your username, your join/leave messages get changed, all plugins use your new name, and there are no traces of your old name I want this plugin because I am planning to start a server very soon and I prefer to change my name to something more original. Ideas for commands: /customusername <newusername> - Changes username to defined username Ideas for permissions: customusername.use - Ability to use /customusername command When I'd like it by: Few days if possible. Thank you! Please let me know if you need any more info Something identical to this but updated to work
I use http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/namer/ on my server and it works just fine with 1.5.1. It has everything you are asking for. If you use the optional TagAPI support it can change the nameplate above your head as well. No need to write a new plugin when an existing one that works great is available
bhallowitz I'll check it out and let you know! bhallowitz Nope, this was not at all what I needed. I don't just want an alias. I want my "nick" to spoof all plugins on my server that my real name is the one I defied. So essentials shows my spoofed name in the /list, etc. EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.
ColeBergmann Actually, it could be easier if you just took the code of ChangePlayerName, and instead of using an 1.4.5 Bukkit build, you can use a 1.5.2 build if you want, would save a lot of time
facepalm No idea how to do that. I know nothing about developing Java. If you could do that for me, that would be outstanding
Uh - When I try to do it, it still doesn't work on my test server, I really don't understand the problem.. Sorry for wasting your time Hopefully another dev can help you out.
NickNamer and TagAPI used together will do all the things you need apart from when you leave. This as far as I know is not changable since its a Minecraft Default.
This is not possible in a clean way. The plugin you linked is dirty and REALLY dangerous. It would have to be updated for each CraftBukkit update because it uses NMS access. Even if a dev take it and update it, you would always need somebody to update it for each new version. That's why the use of NMS/OBC is discouraged. Maybe you should just wait for Mojang to allow username change ? PS: Last word, what if the player owning this Username login to your server ?
ColeBergmann as previously suggested Namer does this and is using bukkit api only. Also it seems to have a good knowledge about how the naming system in MC works as he is describing that if you change the nick above the head the skin will change. That is something some may just run into when coding this plugin. If you need a feature that is missing i would recommend asking the author of Namer to implement it.
lycano what he wants is that other plugins recognize him with it's nickname. It's not possible with the Bukkit API.
Ribesg Thanks didn't know he wanted other plugins to recognise his nickname. ColeBergmann That would require every plugin to use an API that changes the name. I dont think that would happen.
That could happen with Vault. ColeBergmann you could make a feature request but still, even if it gets implemented in Vault, only plugins following this would work with it.
Ribesg oh didn't catched "all plugins use your new name" well if he wants to just switch the username (hopefully not)" then i have to say "dont do that" as it will break most likely everything and just nullifies the safety you get with online-mode true. I really hope he just wants to change the display name. As for the request description .. the rest would be supported by Namer. If a chat plugin uses DisplayName for text output (they should, if not they are just bad) then i dont see a problem. Even the join message is correctly displayed when changing nick with Namer.
