Fancy Name Mod lets you create custom stylized nicknames and share them with other players across any server. It works entirely on the client side, meaning any other player with the mod installed sees your chosen name format right away. You can apply custom text formatting like gradients, bold tags, and color codes to stand out in multiplayer worlds.
