Our players on the Expansion adore this feature so I'm glad to find a mod that does this working for 1.20. However, we use firstname and lastname in the name but due to the coding requiring the playername to be entered, we can't set this. For example, I'd like my nametag to say "Serenity Dupin" but it can't detect spaces in names. It doesn't work with quotation marks to isolate the name, either.

Are players allowed to change their own name or do we have to set it? It'd be great if they could set their own. We previously used Fatigue's mod that worked that way and didn't require players to enter their name.

Zolkenn thanks and no worries. Happy that you were able to find the error :)

Shinji170981 ok I'm just dumb. I change the command name for the 1.2 but not in the description of the mod . So now it is '/alias set' or '/alias rm'
Sorry for the inconvinence.

Zolkenn thanks. If you need anything specific from me, let me know. :)

Shinji170981

hey, to rename other player you need the base game commandplayer privilige so the admin role should work.
Maybe a bug in the code ,I'l investigate

Quick question, i tried to rename a player on my server but i always get the error "command does not exist".
Do i have to add the command somewhere specifically?
I do have admin rights. Should i do it via the command console?
