Ever wondered if the name displayed overhead another player is their original name or just a nickname? If the answer is yes, Nickname Detector Mod is for you. This mod adds a new command that allows you to identify players who are using a nickname. Executing the /nicknamedetector will search up the usernames of all players on Mojang’s database and will specify whether the name is their real username or just a nickname. Using the /nicknamedetector command will allow you to perform the same search, but for just one specific player.
Features:
- Helps identify if a player username is real or if it is just a nickname.
- /nicknamedetector : Gives out a list of all players and specifiers whether they are using a nickname.
- /nicknamedetector : Does the same, but for one specific player.
