Real Nicknames

Want to change your nickname in game? This mod allows you to do that, and change the color.

Commands:

/nick clear : Clears your nickname
/nick set NAME : Changes your nickname
/nick color -1 : Clears your name color (Only on 1.21.1/1.21.4)
/nick color HEXCODE : Changes your name color (Only on 1.21.1/1.21.4)

If you want to color your name on 1.21.1 or 1.21.4, you will have to enable it in the config file! It is defaulted to be off.

Same with the max character limit, however on other versions it is a gamerule!
