Saro´s Fakename Port
Fakename adds a simple way to change your display name in-game.
⚠️ Note: This mod is a port of the original Fakename mod. I am not the original author. Current work is focused on making it compatible with Minecraft 1.20.1+. Port requests for newer versions are welcome.
The fake name is visible in:
- Chat
- Death messages
- Above the player's head
Names are world/server specific, meaning they do not change your name permanently.
The server must also have the mod installed for it to work.
