- If you prefer having your username something else when you look at chat
Usage: ~nick [Custom Nickname]
Q&A:
Why did you make this mod? I made this mod because I couldn't find any nickname changers avaliable for forge 1.12.2
Why is the command ~nick and not /nick? I used the ~ because I did not want to interfere with any other nickname related mods(especially on servers)
Can other people see my custom username? No, this is a client side mod, so only you will see the custom username in chat
