Nickname Detector Mod (1.21.8, 1.20.1) is a lightweight client-side utility that helps you uncover whether the name displayed above a player’s head is their actual Mojang username or just a nickname set using plugins. On many multiplayer servers, nickname systems are used to disguise identities, often making it difficult to tell who you’re really interacting with. This mod solves that problem by allowing you to run a simple command that cross-checks player names against Mojang’s official database. Whether you’re a server admin, PvP strategist, or casual player concerned about trust and transparency, this tool provides a fast and reliable way to verify in-game identities all without needing any server-side installation. Compatible with versions from 1.20.1 to 1.21.8, it works seamlessly in modern Minecraft environments.

With its Mojang-based name lookup, you can make informed decisions about who you’re trading, fighting, or teaming with. It’s especially useful for streamers, server moderators, or players on heavily customized multiplayer setups who want extra security and peace of mind.
