Custom Names Mod (1.21.6, 1.20.6) – Personalize Player Names in Minecraft

Custom Names Mod (1.21.6, 1.20.6) lets you assign personalized display names to players in your Minecraft world. Whether you’re trying to remember who’s who on a busy server or simply want to have some fun with nicknames, this mod allows you to replace usernames with custom names that appear in the chat and player list just for you.

With a simple, user-friendly graphical interface (GUI), you can set names for any player based on their Minecraft username. These custom names are only visible to you and do not affect gameplay or server functionality, making it a purely cosmetic and client-side enhancement.

Why Use Custom Names?

  • Better Roleplay – Great for RPG servers or storytelling where names like “Captain Leo” or “Blacksmith Tom” fit better than usernames.
  • Organization – Helpful for sorting players into roles (e.g., “Builder”, “Farmer”) or simply remembering who’s who on a large server.
  • Personalization – Adds a personal touch to your multiplayer experience.

Whether you’re managing a small group or customizing your roleplay world, this mod gives you full control over how players are identified in your client.
