Nicknames

Players customize their display name, admins can change other players' names too. Nicks support MiniMessage formatting and automatically affect the chat format and the tablist.

Additional permissions #

Permission	Default	Description
`nick.minimessage`	false	Lets regular players use color and formatting tags in their nick (admins with `nick.admin` always may)

ℹ️

Note: Click, hover and insertion effects are ALWAYS stripped from nicks, regardless of permissions. Only colors and formatting can be unlocked via nick.minimessage.

💡

Tip: nick.max-length limits the visible text, not the input: <red>Test counts as 4 characters. For team members, the team tablist formatting additionally overrides the nick display (see Teams).
