A nickname is a display name you choose. Once set it is shown instead of your account name wherever your name is displayed, including chat (Chat Formatting). Your account name is unchanged and staff can still see it.
Commands#
| Command | Aliases | Effect |
|---|---|---|
/nick <nickname> | /nickname | Sets your nickname |
/nick off | Clears your nickname | |
/unnick | Clears your nickname |
Nicknames are a VIP perk ("custom nickname", see VIP). A Nickname Voucher grants a number of uses of /nick when you right-click it.
Rules#
- 1 to 16 characters, using only letters, digits and underscores.
- Colour and style codes written with
&work only for players who are allowed to use them; codes you may not use are dropped when the nickname is shown. - A nickname must be unique: "That nickname is already in use by another player!" and "That nickname is another player's account name!".
- Nicknames pass the word filter: "That nickname is not allowed!".
- Staff can block a player from nicknames if they are abused ("You are blacklisted from setting a nickname!").
